INDUSTRY, Calif. -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Thursday he had signed a bill allowing the construction of a 75,000-seat stadium that developers hope will lure an NFL team back to the Los Angeles area.

Schwarzenegger said he signed the environmental exemption bill last week but saved the announcement for a press conference in Industry, where the stadium would be built about 15 miles east of Los Angeles.

The bill would nullify a lawsuit filed by residents in nearby Walnut over the project's environmental impact.

Schwarzenegger called the lawsuit frivolous as he addressed a crowd of union members wearing hardhats. Across the street, a dozen protesters held signs saying "No Stadium."

"This is the best kind of action state government can create -- action that cuts red tape, generates jobs, is environmentally friendly and brings a continued economic boost to California," Schwarzenegger said.

Majestic Realty Co. is heading the stadium project after helping develop Staples Center, the downtown Los Angeles home of the NBA's Lakers and Clippers and the NHL's Kings.

Majestic has targeted seven teams as candidates to move to the Los Angeles area: the Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings, St. Louis Rams, San Diego Chargers, Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers.

The firm has said the teams are in stadiums that are either too small or can't be updated with luxury box seats or other revenue sources an NFL club needs to thrive.

Schwarzenegger said the stadium would generate more than 18,000 jobs.

Majestic guaranteed parking lot attendants and concession stand workers would be paid middle-class wages, said Maria Elena Durazo, head of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor.

"This is true economic development," Durazo said. "It's going to benefit everyone in our community."

As a result of the passage of Assembly Bill x4_17, the California Withholding Schedules for 2009 have been replaced effective November 1, 2009, to accelerate withholding. These schedules are effective November 1 through December 31, 2009. Basically, these new withholding schedules will result in your employees having somewhere between 8 to 10% MORE state tax withholding taken from their paycheck. Starting January 1, 2010, the tables will revert back to the previously released 2010 withholding tables.

Heating and cooling? Dude, it's 72 outside right now. It'll maybe drop to 59 degrees at night. Heating and cooling are not an issue.

The reason for building it into a hillside is to save $400 million dollars in construction costs. You have no idea how much cement and steel contractors make out here and they have pacts with the city. Everything, and I mean everything, is overbuilt by at least three fold. I have homes being built in my neighborhood where no solid or glue-lam beams are being used: It's all steel girders and concrete.

You can thank Mr. Antonio Villaragosa for the stadium being designed in a hillside. People are tired of extortion.

my wife's cousin lives in LA(beverly hills IIRC) and it cost them more money than i will make in a couple of years to put in a pool on the hill that they live on. He did say that if there is an earthquake thats where he's gonna be, so much concrete and steel so far into the ground the structure is NEVER going anywhere

Im sure the NFL will take that into account. Well, Mr. Goodell Dane McCloud said that LA will not take well to a new team, just because. I know there is 20 million people in the area, most of which like/love football, but Dane McCloud said it can't be.

Roger Goodell: That is enough for me. If he said it, it must be true. I deem LA is never again allowed to have an NFL team and any mention of such will be punishable by a lifetime ban from the NFL.

I believe it.

Depending on the size of the pool, I'm guessing they had to use 10 to 12 caissons at least 40 foot into the hillside at a cost $250k or more just for the support. Then there's the added cost of the actually swimming pool itself, which was probably $75k-$100k.

I bet it's nice, though!

The article states that he wants part/full ownership assclown. Not that LA is incapable of having a professional team. You must live in West Hollywood. You fit in there. Or Newport Beach.
