Mercy for an elder fleecer?
Medicare won't cover prisoners. If Lochmiller has an ailment that's costly to treat, I can see prison authorities releasing him to save the state money. The prison warders ought to hang Lochmiller in his cell and make it look like suicide. The Tijuana police do things like this all the time with great success.— June 25, 2014 10:31 p.m.
Black and stopped in Utah
The cops claimed they had probable cause to search the vehicle because (1) Felder failed to maintain eye contact, (2) the license plate frame had "Jesus" written on it, (3) they obeserved air freshener in the center console, and (4) Duke the dog "alerted" on the car. Felder should have sued Duke. He's the real culprit. That damn Duke! http://www.ca10.uscourts.gov/opinions/12/12-4154.…— June 23, 2014 8:48 p.m.
Adiós, Ché?
The building that houses the Che Cafe appears to have historical significance as the last remaining building from what was Camp Matthews, a WWII Marine Corps base. That's why UCSD overlords fear the Che Cafe and want the building torn down ASAP. They are afraid they won't be able to tear the building down if it receives an historic designation. That's the way to save the Che Cafe: stress the building's historic significance as the last remaining building from WWII.— June 18, 2014 10:44 p.m.
Because 1 billion is not enough
Bob Hudson is right. Bill and Hillary set up GRATs to dodge estate taxes. I am shocked. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/after-touting-estate-…— June 17, 2014 9:33 p.m.
Super Bowl "wish list" items are requirements
Nick "keep the cannoli" Canepa's column may be an opening salvo in Papa Doug's push for a tax increase to pay for all the goodies. It's clear to me that taxes must rise to pay for AG Spanos Stadium and other projects. Papa Doug probably realizes that new tax revenue is needed to bring his pipe dreams into fruition.— June 15, 2014 10:53 p.m.
Construction falters when empty nest refills
Butterball brand turkeys are processed in China. It's a lot cheaper to process the turkey in China and not have to pay for sanitation or health inspectors. George Bush II made this possible. One of his first acts as President was to repeal federal regulations that required food processors to disclose the country of origin on food packaging. Do you like to eat pickles? Pickles are made in either Vietnam or India with the country of origin missing from the label. Some food processors try to fool consumers by claiming the food "is packed in the USA." That means they import the food from China in 50 gallon oil drums and can it in the US. I don't eat anything if it is not grown or made in the US. I don't eat in restaurants because I don't know where the food comes from. I verify the origin of the food before I buy it by writing to the food processor and asking for confirmation.— June 13, 2014 11:15 a.m.
Painful and suffering lawyers
Schenck should get her teeth fixed. There are many dentists who advertise in the Reader who could help her out. She could save money with one of the specials.— June 13, 2014 10:31 a.m.
Construction falters when empty nest refills
San Diego employers don't want to hire post-teens for entry level jobs except of the most menial category. For example, if employers want to hire computer support technicians to maintain computer networks, employers will not interview recent SDSU graduates for positions to avoid training costs. Employers recruit transplants from outside the area (usually from Michigan) who already have experience. That's why the population continues to swell while many post-teens who were born and raised here cannot find good jobs despite having degrees from SDSU and UCSD. The only chance these post-teens have of obtaining a decent job is to join the military and obtain hiring preferences for employment with the federal government. There are more federal jobs that require college degrees than there are veterans with college degrees to fill them.— June 13, 2014 10:22 a.m.
Ponzi is never pretty
It makes more sense for local DA's to prosecute investment fraudsters. The SEC could then piggy back off the local DA's prosecution and discipline fraudsters for criminal convictions. Sample stole at least $300,000 from his investors. This situation is like the DA obtaining a civil injunction against a bank robber prohibiting him from robbing banks in the future in lieu of prosecuting the thief for previous bank robberies. I have never been able to find out why investment fraudsters are seldom prosecuted for their crimes. If Sample had known that he would be prosecuted and sent to a real federal prison, a prison in which prisoners are routinely stabbed, beaten up and raped, it's likely that he would not have robbed his investors.— June 7, 2014 6:45 p.m.
$6 million glass home for sale
I meant "paying for it" in the sense that Tony McCune paid for it.— June 7, 2014 5:16 p.m.
