Let the battle of millionaires (billionaires?) begin... Great America is suing the City of Santa Clara and the 49ers over their plans to build a stadium. The suit is over the Environmental Impact Report and its legality... as the story in the Merc suggests, this might be a way for Cedar Fair (the folks that own Great America) to improve their position in negotiations with the City and the Team... sort of like the San Francisco Giants complaining about the A's move to San Jose. As we said, it is a battle of millionaires... (Even the Chronicle wrote about the lawsuit, so it must be important...)
Gilroy might be happy about a story where a man drove 3,000 miles to get to their town... if it was about someone going to the Garlic Festival or to shop at the outlets... but this story is about a Canadian man who drove from Ontario, Canada to Gilroy to have sex with a 17 year old. Not exactly the stuff of note for the Gilroy Chamber.
On a lighter note, there are three new chicks at San Jose City Hall... (and no, we don't mean the new summer interns Councilmember Oliverio...)
If you love Ming's in Palo Alto, and any who is anyone in politics does love Ming's, then get ready for a big change in your life. The owners of Ming's are taking all the money you paid for your dim sum and putting into a big new hotel on the same site. Don't worry, a new Ming's will emerge out of the project and they will have plenty of pork buns for everyone...
In case you have extra time today, take a look at this PensionMeter put together by the SacBee. We'll write about it later...
