Closed-door meetings with Chargers preceded mayor's stadium backing
"...looking at the governor's chair, or a US Senate seat" Having worked for California's last Republican Governor (Arnold doesn't count, he was a RHINO) and last Republican US Senator, it's hard to imagine California will elect another Republican to statewide office during the Mayor's lifetime. What goes on in Sacramento gets scant attention from voters, and public employee unions are the dominate source of campaign money (at the state and local levels). When you combine voter apathy toward the disfunction of state government with a ton of partisan money there is little chance of ending the one-party control of California.— November 1, 2016 9 a.m.
Closed-door meetings with Chargers preceded mayor's stadium backing
He wouid now like to be referred to as Chargers Mayor Kevin Faulconer.— October 31, 2016 2:33 p.m.
Ocean Beach construction project draws community ire
Why are folks complaining? Environmental groups have pushed for higher density in already developed neighbors so that new housing doesn't have to be built in rural areas where it would spoil the views of MacMansion and horse property owners. I am sure these groups could explain to you how this house (these houses) will help fight global warming :) Quick, a show of hands from the OB protesters (and you too Herkimer): how many of you live in a house or apartment that was not built by a developer?— October 16, 2016 10:28 a.m.
More apartments across Gila Avenue
This is part of the enviromental social engineering agenda: create higher density housing in the areas already developed. The Sierra Club will probably give this developer a medal.— October 13, 2016 2:58 p.m.
Chargers, mayor, U-T collude on con job
"What has Faulconer been promised by the Spanos family, which gave a hoist to Pete Wilson and tried to do so for Susan Golding?" Come on Don, it's bad enough when a reader gets it wrong: Wilson got elected to the Senate in 1982 - Spanos bought the Chargers in 1984. I was a senior staffer in Wilson's 1988 reelection campaign and the Spanos didn't do anything other than make contributions (and I don't know if they even did that, but presumably they did, as did thousands of other people). Golding screwed up nicely, what with seat guarantees and cheap naming rights for the Stadium, but you can't blame her for what's going on now.— October 3, 2016 3:24 p.m.
Paul Gaspar is not a medical doctor
So, does this mean people are more likely to vote for a doctor? Perhaps he's a fan of Dr. Laura who does radio therapy with a Ph.D. in physiology. And Dr. Seuss, what's that all about?— September 29, 2016 9:07 p.m.
Thunder or students jumping?
I always fear elevators in government buildings, knowing they were built by the lowest bidder.— September 24, 2016 3:27 p.m.
Raiders want eternal flame for Al Davis
Sports at all levels is politics.— September 23, 2016 9:11 a.m.
San Diego's $2.27 billion pension hole
Yes, because nobody else in town will want a job. That's such a tired old argument that keeps public agencies busy hjacking up pay and benefits in order beat neighboring cities. It may be hard for pampered public employees to understand, but many millions of smart, talented, hard-working people hold jobs that in fact won't allow them to retire at age 50 or 55 with 90 percent of their pay. Public employees have become the self-annointed kings and queens of victimization, some how believing that made a sacrfice taking that good government job.— September 18, 2016 11:15 a.m.
Oceanside Blade press runs again
Peter Weissbach went back to his native Canada for a while, then to Seattle, but does not seem to have been on the radio since maybe 2009: his website is "under construction" and a couple of links to online streaming programs don't go anywhere. I think he was at KOGO when I worked there for two weeks in what was the worst job I had in 30 years of radio. The owner of KOGO then (and former owner of KUDE-AM) was beer magnate Leon Parma's PAR BROADCASTING. I used stay to say, "From Par, stay far." It occured to me that reporting Oceanside city council news is not much different than high school news.— September 17, 2016 11:31 a.m.
