49ERS STADIUM-MALL STILL FOCUS OF VOTING CONTROVERSY

          Opponents of the 49ers' $525M stadium-mall deal "turned
     in more than 15,000 petition signatures" to the city's
     elections department, "claiming they were enough to put the
     issue back on the ballot next June," according to Anastasia
     Hendrix of the S.F. EXAMINER.  The 15,000 signatures
     submitted by the Voter Integrity Project and the Committee
     to Stop the Giveaway exceed the 10,500 required to place the
     initiative on the ballot.  The two groups are "seeking to
     overturn the election because of alleged voting
     irregularities" (S.F. EXAMINER, 10/24).
          TEAM LEADER: In S.F., Eric Brazil profiled stadium-mall
     project leader John Wasson and called him a "savvy
     candidate" to guide the plan "through expected rough seas." 
     Wasson takes over the $525M project, which has been
     leaderless since former 49ers President Carmen Policy's
     resignation in July (S.F. EXAMINER, 10/25).
