Mayor Faulconer requesting City Council allocate $2.1 million for expedited stadium EIR

One word: Huh?

Read the Independent Budget Analyst Report.

The report is dated today. The San Diego City Council vote is tomorrow. This would start the ball moving on an Environmental Impact Report the next day.

Not exactly a lot of time for public digestion and reaction.

Yet, the stakes have been set, apparently. The report ends with:

…the decision on whether or not to proceed with the proposed EIR should be informed by how important Council believes the Chargers are to the local economy and vitality of the San Diego community, if that importance justifies expenditure of these funds to avoid foreclosing the possibility of keeping the Chargers in San Diego, and what residual value the EIR might have should the Chargers ultimately elect to leave San Diego.
