California IN BRIEF : OAKLAND : Raiders’ Cost May Be Passed On to City

The president of the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Commission, estimating that fruitless efforts to get the Los Angeles Raiders to return to Oakland cost as much as $4 million, said he may turn to the financially hard-pressed Oakland city government to pay those costs. Although George Vukasin said that his commission had agree to underwrite efforts to attract the National Football League team, he said the cost would take too much of the commission’s cash reserves.
