    Anthony Bernal, a candidate for San Diego City Council, challenged the Chargers to come up with a financing plan for a new stadium that does not rely on taxpayer funding. A survey conducted by Bernal's campaign found that while 51% of respondents were open to a new downtown stadium, 69% did not want taxpayer dollars used and 65% cited cost to taxpayers as their top concern. Bernal said the only solution is for the stadium to be funded without taxpayer money, and that he wants to work with the Chargers on a proposal that doesn't require taxpayers to choose between infrastructure and football.

    SAN DIEGO, CA Anthony Bernal, a candidate for San Diego City Council in District
    Three, challenged the Chargers today to come up with a financing plan for a new
    stadium that works for San Diego taxpayers, and said he would like to work with them
    to get it done. A football fan himself, Bernal would like to keep the Chargers in San
    Diego, but not at the expense of taxpayers.
    We have been discussing the possibility of a new stadium in San Diego for years now,
    Bernal said. San Diegans are making it very clear that they love the Chargers but
    improving our crumbling infrastructure is a much higher priority.
    Bernals campaign put together a short survey* on the possibility of building a new
    stadium Downtown. Over 200 people participated in the survey and, as of today, 51%
    actually said they are open to considering a new stadium in Downtown. Sixty-nine
    percent, however, said they would not vote to use taxpayer dollars to build the
    stadium and 65% said cost to taxpayers is their biggest concern.
    Bernal says the feedback he receives from residents and the results of the survey
    indicate that there is only one possible solution: the stadium must be funded without
    taxpayer dollars. Bernal concludes, If the Chargers really want to build a stadium in
    San Diego, we have to come up with a proposal that doesnt ask taxpayers to choose
    football over infrastructure.
    Anthony is the only candidate in the District Three race with actual experience working
    at City Hall. For more than seven years, Anthony has worked in the office of incumbent
    San Diego City Councilmember for the Third District, Todd Gloria, who will be termed
    out in 2016. Anthony serves as Councilmember Glorias Director of Business and
    Community Projects.
    The 2016 primary will occur on June 7, 2016. More information about Anthonys
    campaign can be found at www.bernal4all.com.
