San Diego mayor Kevin Faulconer on Chargers: 'They have been working to move to L.A.'

Things are getting ugly between the city of San Diego and the Chargers.

The Chargers said Tuesday that they didn't feel a public vote on a new stadium would be feasible before Dec. 15, the NFL's deadline to apply for relocation. San Diego mayor Kevin Faulconer fired back Wednesday.

Faulconer, along with city attorney Jan Goldsmith and county supervisor Ron Roberts, released a longer statement saying the city has presented the Chargers with multiple options to keep the team in San Diego:

At the urging of the NFL and the Chargers, we have presented the team with multiple legally defensible options that fully comply with state environment law and would conclude with a public vote this year on a new stadium. In addition to these options, today we provided the Chargers a new proposal to complete a full environmental impact report by October in time for a January special election - addressing the legal concerns expressed by the team.

The statement added that it's still possible to avoid relocation, if that's what the organization wants.

"We are still at the table. We have all the ingredients for success in San Diego if the Chargers work with us. We can get this done if the Chargers want to get it done."

Keeping the Chargers in San Diego was an uphill climb to begin with, but the city and organization being at odds is only complicating matters.
