Dear Santa Clarans,
This Wednesday, September 8th, our Planning Commission takes up the Rezoning and Tentative Subdivision Map which will allow the San Francisco to use City lands for their stadium - nearly half the cost of which will be paid or raised by Santa Clara agencies. The four-part report to the Planning Commission may be found here.
The DEIR for the stadium was released last July 30th, meaning that the stadium project has now been separated from its first Environmental Impact Report by over a year! However, the gross faults with that EIR process - and with the final document, certified by the City Council on December 8th, 2009 - still remain. Virtually none of the stadium's impacts on our community will be mitigated in any way.
Santa Clara Plays Fair urges interested Santa Clarans - especially if you live north of U.S. 101 - to attend the Planning Commission meeting this Wednesday evening and speak out on the stadium project. To quickly locate bullet items you're interested in, here is a quick two-page index.
Please share this with your neighbors: The 49ers stadium subsidy is a fiscal issue for all of us - but it's also a quality-of-life issue for those of us who live in Zip Code 95054.
Thanks for your continuing support,
Bill Bailey, Treasurer,
Santa Clara Plays Fair

This is dated today. Where are the links to other resources? Where are the election endorsements? Where's the context? Where's the contact info?
How can I help?
To keep this post short, I covered only the Planning Commission here. Corrected the date, too - it's the 8th and not the 9th.
See link to our home page; that's where our election information and contact email are.
"How can I help?"
-We've endorsed Adila Saadat and Chris Koltermann for School Board Trustees in Areas 3 and 2. Would you be willing to volunteer for them at the Art & Wine Festival, 9/18-19? See SCPF homepage.
-Regardless of where you live in Santa Clara: The 49ers stadium - and its public subsidy of $444 million - does affect you. To get started, see the link "index" in the third paragraph above. There you'll find some of the most important impacts of the stadium itself. Will you come to the Planning Commission meeting tomorrow evening and speak out on the stadium project itself?
If you need any other information, email me directly at:

Thanks and regards,
Bill Bailey, Treasurer
