Oakland city officials are dropping the ball when it comes to efforts to persuade the Raiders to stay in Oakland.
“Oakland faces a Wednesday deadline to give the NFL a financing plan for a new Raiders football stadium, but city officials, who have repeatedly said they won’t stick taxpayers with the bill, indicated Monday that no plan is forthcoming. Instead, Oakland will send a letter to league officials simply updating them on the city’s efforts to persuade the Raiders to stay in town.” -Reported by Rachel Swan
