Spanos and SD's sweetheart Chargers Park deal
Does this surprise anyone? Considering the all the illegal and questionable acts done with the Pension Fund, and retiree medical costs, and the secret slush fund monies laundered through San Diego Data Processing Corporation, and on and on and on. The real question is where, during all those and these years, was the District Attoney's Public Integrity Unit?— January 12, 2017 8:32 p.m.
City to block mayor's testimony in accident case?
This a very sad case, especially for the Aavang family. It's also sad for the community. The city's solution was too install a new signal light with a pedrestrian crosswalk control for the sweeping right fork in the road from Catalina onto Cañon, install some new signage and re-stripe / re-align portions of the approaching roadway. ***The problem however, still exists.*** The light, a green arrow for the right sweeping fork to Cañon, is green 99.9% of the time and has conditioned drivers to expect a green. In addition, the overhead signal light head is camouflaged by the backdrop of a eucalyptus tree behind it from the driver's perspective. I've witnessed many drivers fly right through the red never noticing the red arrows. The partial re-alignment has improved sight-distance, but speed remains an issue. A more effective soulution to slow down traffic N/B onto Cañon from Catalina would have been to reconfigure the intersection the same way the city reconfigured the nearly identical intersection of Catalina and Chatsworth years ago. There, the city removed the right hand sweeping fork in the road with a traditional right hand turn, thus the reducing speed of cars especially with the proximity of pedestrians at Silvergate Elementary less than a block away. With the reopening of our local market store, Jensens, there are additional pedestrians crossing the road. The city should reconsider the matter. In my opinion, one that has qualified as an expert, the minimum enhancement would be the addition of LED pedestrians flashers, to startle complacent drivers, like the ones just installed at Catalina and Orchard, which in adjacent to Silvergate Elementary. My sincere condolences to the Aavang family.— January 12, 2017 4:40 p.m.
Today the saddest day ever for Chargers fans
With the Chargers in LA he can become the newest sports stringer for the Times. They're both owned by TRONC.— January 12, 2017 3:34 p.m.
Man struck by police cruiser gets day in court
Well it turns out the City ultimately offered to settle the case for $50K but the greedy plaintiff and his lawyer declined. The case was tried and the jury awarded $30K. So the City Attorney's office evaluation of the case was correct.— January 12, 2017 2:33 p.m.

I see Mayor Faulconer has the spin cycle in overdrive. [link text][1]. He'll do and say **ANYTHING** not to be saddled with the title of the Mayor who let the Chargers get away. His future political opponents will bask in it, proving, once and for all, he's a nice guy who doesn't really lead and can't close a deal.

Today the saddest day ever for Chargers fans
Well for those who would resort to violence over the loss of a sports team, with a long history of losing, as well as ownership who really only cares about profits and lining their pockets with the taxpayer's hard earned dollars, the prospects of jail awaits them. Remember, loyalty goes both ways, just not with the Spanos family. While the failing U-T will most likely trim the sports desk, the likelihood of job losses will not materialize. If our elected leaders start addressing San Diego's real needs, good paying jobs are in order. Not temporary concession hawkers peddling crap food and enormously overpriced beer and soft drinks.— January 12, 2017 1:13 p.m.
Today the saddest day ever for Chargers fans
Two thoughts: ***FIRST*** Well it's the end of an era of 'San Diego Charger' football and the endless drama regarding the fleecing of the taxpayers by weak kneed politicians. It also means it's the beginning of something good for San Diegans! Now is the time for our elected leaders, who were promising hundreds of millions to a private entertainment business, owned by a billionaire, to put forth a ***real plan*** to fix our infrastructure needs. ***SECOND*** I realize this is wishful thinking, but Mr. Kronke did buy the land and is paying for his own facility, maybe the tide is turning on the fleecing of taxpayers.— January 12, 2017 12:02 p.m.
SDG&E again asks for 2007 fire cost reimbursement

SDG&E again asks for 2007 fire cost reimbursement
Don: Visduh should take those profits from his stock and install some solar panels. After the electricity portion of my SDGE bill climbed above $300 a month it was time to do something. I live along the coast, installed 19 panels on my roof. Now I have a zero electricity bill and that includes my lap pool. With the Fed's 30% tax credit my ROI will be 💯% in about eight years. Of course that's not counting any SDGE rate increases which only accelerate my return.— January 11, 2017 10:20 a.m.
