Trash Talking: Allied Seeks to Expand Sycamore Landfill
Todd Gloria is in everyone's pockets (Unions, developers, special interests, gays, gay-bashers) He's an equal opportunity crook.— October 28, 2008 10:31 a.m.
CCDC Kills 7th and Market Project; Chairman Maas Says Related Group May Be Victim, Attacks Local Developer
The CCDC and SEDC are simply a way for developers/builders and bankers to get a foothold into the decision-making process of the city, where they dont belong.— September 10, 2008 12:53 p.m.
CCDC Kills 7th and Market Project; Chairman Maas Says Related Group May Be Victim, Attacks Local Developer
CCDC (and SEDC) should be disbanded. Handle all development through the City of San Diego Development Authority, which handles much of the work in other areas already. http://www.sdcounty.ca.gov/grandjury/reports/2007…— September 10, 2008 12:51 p.m.
Realtors Hold Post-Election Fundraiser To Help Mayor Sanders Pay Back His Debt
Susan Lew is on the board of the same bank (1st Pacific) that Ronne Froman was (Froman resigned from the board when she became city COO). They happen to make a lot of loans to developers and builders and their "Advisory Board" has many developers and builders.— June 12, 2008 12:45 p.m.
Realtors Hold Post-Election Fundraiser To Help Mayor Sanders Pay Back His Debt
Sanders nominal salary is not the prize. Its the power and ability to direct city dollars, pave the way for developers, etc. In exchange you can be sure that he has many favors built up for future jobs for himself, family and friends. Plus do you think the job is that difficult? Lots of paid for lunches, dinners, car allowance, functions like U.S. Open, Padre games, Charger games, fundraisers, etc.— June 12, 2008 12:39 p.m.
San Diego Housing Prices Plunge 20.5 Percent in Last Year, 25.9 Percent from 2005 Peak
Well some areas are well above 26% (South County, East County) while some havent dropped much (La Jolla, Coronado, Encinitas). Just shows where the concentration of liar and teaser loans were made. (Not to mention where the concentrations of uninformed borrowers and unscrupulous mortgage brokers).— May 28, 2008 11:06 a.m.
San Diego's Prop C, a way to silence the auditor
The damage in Sanders 4 years far outweighs FINALLY getting a rating from a dubious agency.— May 16, 2008 11:51 a.m.
Sanders Claims City Can Return to Bond Market. Oh? That Will Be Up to Investors. Bond Rating Agencies Suffer from Bad Reputation
S & P is a joke. The rating agencies have been behind the 8 ball on subprime and many other financial debacles. We should check the S & P ratings of Orange County before they filed BK. In related news, the gravy train paid off well for one of the ringleaders of the SD crisis: The condo at 7151 Fay Ave , Unit #18, La Jolla, CA 92037, was sold on 05/07/08 at a tax value of $1,625,000. Sold by Ulla B. Hamilton and Philip H. Thayer, trustees, to John R. McGrory. 351-174-21-18. Publish Date: 05/16/08— May 16, 2008 10:53 a.m.
Why You Don't Get Accurate Information on San Diego from U-T Editorial Page
If DROP is such a money saver for the city, every private employer would offer it. The fact is that double dipping costs money up front. In addition, they have an earlier retirement age compared with private sector (401k's, IRA's, SS). And remember the pension payments are for life, while defined contribution plans like 401's and IRAs can run out. So a FF retiring at age 55 who lives to 80 has 25 years of payments, while a private sector employee who cant retire until age 65 and who lives to 80 has only 15 years of payments (not to mention only enjoying 15 years of retirement.— April 30, 2008 9:28 a.m.

Spend now, pay later. Politicians will try and do that because they know in 6-8 years they will be gone anyway.— April 28, 2008 10:26 a.m.
