Lol how about coming up with something to counter me that involves using your brain....
This kind of stuff doesn't come out in the media when he's doing things right
you post that stupid comment, what is there to counter. Gilmore making stupid allegations and to you that shows Jed's immaturity. Please 
You have no idea what the articles have to do with Jed, You just saw it as a chance to make a brainless comment
What is stupid about Gilmore's accusations?
Everything that she has been putting out there. Soccer Fields, Rent, the non productive audits. all the types crap politicians do. The 49ers already gave the auditors what they asked for.
I have not seen any proof of her being wrong about anything.
haven't seen any, did you look ? she did the same thing about the convention center (from the Mercury news)
THE city of Santa Clara is about to waste $100,000 on a pointless study of its convention center for one reason: A milquetoast city council can't stand up to the empty, vicious bluster of two of its members, Lisa Gillmor and Mayor Eddie Souza.
While budget shortfalls are forcing cuts in library hours and youth programs, a majority of the council decided to shell out for a management and financial audit of the Santa Clara Chamber of Commerce, which contracts with the city to run the convention center. This despite the fact that annual, independent audits have turned up zero evidence of problems.
Since the news falls into your narrative, it must be right ?
not so fast
"The Mayor's accusations that money is going from the City's General Fund into the stadium are false and irresponsible," the 49ers said in a statement provided to PFT. "As the Mayor surely knows, since she voted for the agreements, the stadium does not use General Fund money. In fact, funds are flowing into the General Fund from the stadium. The 49ers Stadium Management Company has generated over $5.5 million for the City's General Fund over the last two years, plus an additional $2 million in fees to the City. On top of that, another $2 million has also gone to the Discretionary Fund."
The suddenly-ugly fight apparently traces to politics. With a local election upcoming, the belief (as one source explained it to PFT) is that Mayor Lisa Gillmor hopes that attacks on the team will prop up her preferred slate of anti-49ers candidates. A $200,000 independent audit also is believed to be part of that effort.
"The successful management of Levi's Stadium by the 49ers Stadium Management Company has allowed the Santa Clara Stadium Authority to reduce its outstanding debt by over $200 million since opening, and fund over $16 million in cash reserves," the 49ers added in the statement issued to PFT. "Those figures do not even include the significant increase in sales and hotel tax revenues generated by the stadium, hotels and other local businesses that will contribute to the Santa Clara General Fund on an annual basis as a direct result of the ongoing operation of Levi's Stadium."
The 49ers told NBC Bay Area that they will be providing information requested by the auditor on Monday. That should result in the truth coming out, eventually.
Of course, the goal may be to keep the truth under wraps until Tuesday, November 8 comes and goes. When elections are looming, truth routinely takes a backseat to political agendas. And with local elections capable of being every bit as nasty as national ones, it would hardly be a shock to learn that reality is being distorted to help secure votes.
