Soledad Cross Referendum Passes With Votes To Spare

Last Tuesday was the referendum in San Diego on Proposition A to authorize City Council to donate the Soledad Cross site to the Federal government as a veterans' memorial. (See earlier posting.) The Thomas More Law Center reported that the referendum passed with over 75% of the voters favoring it, well above the 2/3 vote that a court earlier had said would probably be required. However, a number of legal battles still remain over the fate of the site.
