RAIDERS CAN'T MAKE PERMANENT STICK TO PSLS: PLAN VOTED DOWN

          A plan to make personal seat licenses (PSLs) for
     Raiders games permanent "has been tabled," according to
     Glenn Dickey of the S.F. CHRONICLE.  Dickey reports that the
     Joint Powers Authority (JPA), a four-person board made up of
     Alameda County supervisors Mary King and Gail Steele and
     Oakland City Council members Ignacio de la Fuente and Larry
     Reid, "voted on a proposal to change the Raiders ticket
     pricing, including permanent PSLs."  The vote was 3-1 in
     favor of the permanent PSLs, but since the JPA members "had
     agreed earlier that they would go ahead only if they were
     unanimous ... its effect was to kill the proposal."  De la
     Fuente "is believed to have cast the one negative vote,
     apparently concerned because the Raiders would not endorse
     the proposal publicly."  Dickey writes that the lack of
     action "has serious implications for Oakland and Alameda
     County residents."  The proposed change "would have made
     PSLs more attractive and easier to sell."  PSLs in Oakland
     are sold on a ten-year term (S.F. CHRONICLE, 6/26).
