Oakland can’t meet NFL deadline on Raiders new stadium plan

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
