The Merc’s Denis C. Theriault has an article today on where San Jose stands with respect to site and process. As has happened on this blog, there’s a debate as to how aggressive San Jose should be in pursuing the A’s while the team is still focused on Fremont.

In an opposing view on the Argus op-ed page, former candidate for Fremont city council Vinnie Bacon takes on Dominic Dutra’s piece last week and raises questions about the proposal in the process.
