Nathan's spousal support
A “couple” of corrupt sleazy politicians. Nothing to see here, move along. Another pair who want line their pockets with campaign cash and life long employment doing actually nothing, but taking credit for everything.— May 8, 2018 10:34 p.m.
DeMaio looking beyond the gas tax repeal
If he’s willing to go after these ***RIDICULOUS*** sanctuary policies and laws I say more power to him.— May 7, 2018 3:39 p.m.
DeMaio looking beyond the gas tax repeal
DeMaio would be giving up a very lucrative salary as a radio talk show host just to run for Mayor, let alone winning the position. His action on the gas tax initiative seem to indicate he is more than just a one trick pony. Let see how this ballot measure goes before getting behind DeMaio further. When he first came to San Diego years ago, I too thought he was an East Coast carpetbagger. However, over time he’s brought issues forward that truly are looking out for the taxpayers. That alone is refreshing in a politician!— May 7, 2018 3:36 p.m.
Mike Schaefer, 80, running for office again
Diploma mill or not, you still have to pass the Bar exam...and he did. That neither a cakewalk or beauty contest. Is Schaefer nuts? Who knows.— May 6, 2018 3:27 p.m.
Mike Schaefer, 80, running for office again
The De La Fuente Cadillac dealership at the I-5 South and Mission Bay Park is gone. A huge construction project is underway at the old site.— May 5, 2018 8:24 p.m.
Mike Schaefer, 80, running for office again
Schaefer doesn’t have the common sense that God gave chickens. He is a character with a huge ego though. Guess he’ll be a perennial candidate for “something” until the day he dies. And if that floats his boat, they are his filing fees to waste.— May 5, 2018 2:29 p.m.
Times zooms in on San Diego in utility fight
Even with the ridiculous SDGE charges for delivery, natural gas is still a bargain for heating and cooking compared to the cost of doing the same with electricity.— May 2, 2018 4:31 a.m.
Times zooms in on San Diego in utility fight
All I can say is - thank the silicon gods! I’m NOT referring to those who live and work in the SF Bay Area. You know the ones trying to control every aspect of our lives. I’m referring to those who created the photovoltaic panels passively collecting the Sun’s solar energy on my roof. With my investment, and the government’s 33% tax credit, my 19 rectangular money making panels account 98% of the cost of my annual electrical energy needs. If I added some storage batteries I could be free of SDG&E’s electrical shackle. I also support the *Community Choice Aggregation* or the *CCA* concept. It’s working elsewhere, it can work here except for the greed of a “choice” few who control San Diego’s energy monopoly. Here’s proof. My natural gas “provider” is ***NOT*** SDGE. Sadly, however, I’m stuck using SDGE’s pipes to deliver the commodity to my home. My monthly bill from SDG&E for the use of their network of pipes is ***more than DOUBLE*** the cost of the natural gas I burn in my home. In addition my provider gives me a *choice* of three contracts for the purchase of natural gas. My *choice* is to lock in the price of gas for a year at-a-time. This way I can budget for the cost knowing my history of usage during the year. Over and over we know fair competition is good for consumer. We also know how corrupt regulators twist the truth to serve their corporate masters. Having a *CCA* can only bring competition to this utility monopoly and that’s good for all consumers!— April 30, 2018 10:36 a.m.
Bruce Henderson sues City over his firing
Full disclosure: Due to the way Councilpersons of that era were granted pensions, Mr. Henderson has been collecting his pension AND his Dep. City Attorney salary for many years. His four years of service on the Council earns him less than $10K a year in pension benefits. After taxes, substantial less than 10k. For the Councilman who really did lead the fight against the EPA’s extortion, he not only earned it, in my opinion, he deserves it.— April 27, 2018 2:51 p.m.
Bruce Henderson sues City over his firing
When Henderson was on the Council (87-91) the EPA was trying to extort billions from the City for secondary sewage treatment and Mayor O’Conner was ready to cave. Henderson’s leadership as well as some of our local scienctists argued secondary treatment was unnecessary. In doing so, Henderson saved the taxpayers millions, maybe a billion dollars.— April 26, 2018 12:52 p.m.
