The co-creator of those oddball movies in the Killer Tomatoes series didn’t do as well with the media he pumped out for the ill-fated ballot bid of the then–San Diego Chargers to build a new downtown stadium, but at least he’s finally gotten paid for his efforts.
John DeBello went on to become one of the town’s biggest sports and industrial movie-makers. According to the latest disclosure of the campaign committee funded by the Chargers to sell their ill-fated downtown deal to the public, DeBello’s firm Loma Media got $42,500 during the first six months of this year for its 2016 services.
The Chargers committee ended June with a cash balance of $83,444 and outstanding debts of $831,710, including $750,000 to the Chargers for a hard-money loan the team made to the fund back in April of last year. In addition, the campaign still owes the team for $77,968 of in-kind services, including a lavish kick-off rally with free food and a Charger Girls show capped by endorsements by three congressmen, Democrats Scott Peters and Juan Vargas, and Republican Darrell Issa.
