City Attorney's Office vs. People of Mission Beach
Of course our City Attorney doesn't want to be painted like the egotistical narcissistic person he is. Besides that, it's not his money he's wasting. If it was HIS money, then cases like this one, and the infamous chalk on the sidewalk caper, would never see the light of day. Thank heavens for term limits and citizen's initiatives. The taxpayers can only afford these fools for so long. The decisions of OUR attorney or proposed ridiculous ordinances by OUR council representatives have consequences. But they rarely, if ever, are held accountable for. Voters have finally had their fill of these people who see themselves, AND believe they are, elites. Congratulation to this group, and their attorney, for taking on the fight for what was, and is, right. Finally, the citizens of San Diego MUST carefully examine any proposed Charter revisions which may take authority or power from its citizen in favor of the so-called elites.— March 11, 2016 8:25 a.m.
City lacks street smarts
Excellent observations! Sadly San Diego has a long and illustrious history of talk and little action.— March 4, 2016 10:51 p.m.
Who wants a new Mission Beach lifeguard tower again?
Sadly, there is nothing new, or surprising, in the actions of the City, the Council or City Attorney's office. You taxpayers don't know what's best. We, your duly elected representatives, will tell you what's best. WE already have your money and WE will spend it anyway WE want. WE make rules for you to follow, not US. WE really could care less about you and some lowly trial Judge think about it. WE have friends who sit on the appeals bench who will tell you WE are correct.— February 28, 2016 8:04 a.m.
Local lawyers speak on Scalia's death
Sadly, there could be some truth in that headline. As with any "battle" a toll is always taken in one form or another.— February 14, 2016 3:45 p.m.
Local lawyers speak on Scalia's death
30+ years on the Supreme Court may have taken its toll on his physical health. An autopsy may shed some light on the cause(s) of his demise. I believe stress, in an environment where adversarial arguments is the norm, took Justice Scalia prematurely.— February 14, 2016 8:46 a.m.
San Diego overcharged FEMA $1.2 million for disaster
Penny wise pound foolish? Or is it? It's either the City's cheapness in not having employees experienced with FEMA rules and regs. Or City leaders trying to pull one over the Feds. If it's the latter, it's just another indicator of corrupt gov't. If it's the former it's another indicator of POOR leadership where no one is ever held accountable.— February 3, 2016 2:28 p.m.
Chargers chatter with Ron and Kev
If our Mayor choose to bypass the electorate on a new stadium vote he will run afoul of the City Charter and 1998's Prop E passed by the voters. While some claim the Charter section is "vague" the intent of the voters was clear as well as the spirit of the law. I suspect if a new stadium does come to fruition and a vote is not held, then you can count on the matter being litigated.

Chargers chatter with Ron and Kev
With the stock market having its worse yearly start since the 08-09 melt down, and last year's returns well below expectations, this coming fiscal year's pension annual REQIRED contribution for both the City and County's systems will be substantially larger. Combine that with all of the deferred maintenance needs of both and it's hard to see where Mr. Roberts AND Mr. Falconer would find the money to subsidize a billionaire owner's football team. Maybe the more appropriate question is WHY should the taxpayers of San Diego, the ones who need the services, and the roads that government is suppose to be providing... Why should we be subsidizing a privately owned business. And, according to Forbes Magazine, the owner and most of his peers are billionaires?— February 1, 2016 2:01 a.m.
Spanos commits!
Agreed. As a former season ticket holder, in a preferred area of the ballpark, the costs ultimately outweighed the benefits and then the team tanked.— January 30, 2016 11:35 a.m.
Spanos commits!
In a statement Friday, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said: "We are very supportive of the decision by Dean Spanos to continue his efforts in San Diego and work with local leaders to develop a permanent stadium solution. NFL ownership has committed $300 million to assist in the cost of building a new stadium in San Diego. I have pledged the league's full support in helping Dean to fulfill his goal." I'm just wondering...What is Dean's "real" goal?— January 30, 2016 7:47 a.m.
