Sixty-nine percent of people answering a CBS5 poll think its a bad idea to use South Bay Santa Clara County public funds to throw in 10% of a $900 million project to build a stadium for the San Francisco 49ers. These people and an area citizens' group, stuck up to their knees with the rest of us in this frightening state of financial affairs (in one month and 27 days, the State goes into the red by $300 million, over $1 billion red two days later - is this even comprehensible?), they hold the postion that it is a bad idea to contribute, from enterprise funds and hotel taxes, to the transformation of an enormous field of asphalt into an instant job machine that, once finished, continues providing jobs onsite while luring money into the restaurants, gas stations, hotels, banks of the surrounding area. A county official insists that the NFL franchise respect the county's proposed contribution. He says, "Its a lot of money to spend on a team that won't even change it's name."
