Sex scandals that preceded Bob Filner
If everything is great, if the most incredibly sleazy episode in memory is OK with everyone, why not let the downtown crowd keep running things. But we've been told first of open sex in City offices, then we're told it didn't happen. We've been told that the Mayor did crime for Sunroad to steal parkland, then we're told the vote for the giveaway, which involved dozens, was perfectly fine. The're trying to say that the sleaze in San Diego politics starts and ends with Filner, if Michael Aguirre will let them get away with that, he's another crook. I believe in him, but if he can't jab anymore, he's got to leave the ring.— September 20, 2013 4:04 p.m.

If I were Aguirre, I would wear my readiness to fight as a badge of honor, he can only reinvent himself so much. He should make clear that he intends to clean up the crookedness in the City. He's got to attack. Alvarez and Faulconer voted for a series of crooked schemes, they should be attacked for it. Fletcher must be denounced as a jellyfish floating on the tide of money pouring into Irwin Jacobs' bizarre schemes. I wish Aguirre had what it takes, but this vague talk about infrastructure isn't going to win. He must play to this strengths, to the theme that made him City Attorney. He's the honest guy fighting crooks, the City Government has reached a new low in sleaziness, the present council has betrayed the people who elected it. I could go on and on, but I'm preaching to the Choir, let's turn the Hymnal to number 2013, and sing: *Onward honest soldiers marching as to war..*.......— September 20, 2013 10:31 a.m.
Driver took the blame for cops shooting his passenger
There is more we don't know, but the bizarre legal theory, that the defendant was responsible for police violence far out of proportion to the parole violation that supposedly started the incident, comes from the insanity that is our DA's office. The police can pin this on someone, but they are the killers, make no mistake.— September 16, 2013 11:41 p.m.

I can't like Alvarez after his votes over the last year, I don't know his position on Stadiumcon, which is a deciding issue for me. I'm more open minded about Convention Center proposals generally, Stadiumcon is an elephant grafted to a giraffe, and all proposals so far seem stupid and ugly, but if it were a cluster of theaters designed for arts festivals, or anything that would serve our community with some new, not just bigger, feature. I would consider the proposal and the cost and benefit. There's no benefit to Stadiumcon.— September 15, 2013 2:43 p.m.

Alvarez no longer supports the Balboa Park on ramp, if he will follow the Filner line, and refuse taxpayer money for Stadiumcon, I will consider supporting him. I like our current Stadium, and I'm certain no one would pay money out of their own pocket for something so stupid as a retractable roofed stadium in San Diego. Lori Saldana has also filed papers to run, I like her energy, and supported her for Congress. I don't know her stand on City issues. She hasn't voted with the Kleptocrats like Alvarez.— September 14, 2013 8:16 p.m.

Alvarez has some disquieting votes on record for the Balboa Park freeway ramp atrocity. and the Sunroad land giveaway. He may also support Stadiumcon, for me that's a deal breaker when combined with his sadistic and cowardly votes on the Filner matter. I vote Democratic, but we have to fight theft. Alvarez seems to be one of the crooks in on the scheme to drop a cool billion on the stupidest piece of architecture ever proposed in this city. Bruce Coons is the lawyer and leader of Save Our Heritage who won the court case to stop the Balboa Park on ramp. He's a hero, but he's got only 60 days to make a name for himself.— September 13, 2013 10:54 p.m.

Aguirre didn't get the word out, I didn't know he was holding an event. Fact is, this City is like Egypt, the media is tightly controlled. We can beat Stadiumcon and the higher taxes and busted pipes it means for the City, if we use social media and protests. The hot language of Michael Aguirre is not bad for this, but he needs to move quickly.— September 13, 2013 3:56 p.m.

Unless there's evidence not yet presented, I'm not sure there's enough for a trial. Ms. McCormack J. should have registered her complaints at some point, apparently she didn't. As of yet, she hasn't even signed Allred's lawsuit. The more I smell the worse it stinks.— September 13, 2013 12:24 a.m.

The powers that got Filner were trying everything. Sooner or later they would have found a way to destroy him. From my distant perspective, Filner's girlfriend problems, combined with betrayal by untrustworthy individuals who had insinuated their way into his confidence, induced a nervous breakdown that normally could have been hidden from the public. He wasn't merely paranoid, in truth many he trusted had turned against him, many had been plotting against him for years secretly, they confess this. Any sane person in his situation would doubt their sanity and seek help. Filner's apology seemed political suicide, but face it, he had been assassinated long before. I wish he had more fight in him, but he fought longer and harder than anyone for the underdog in this town. We didn't deserve him.— September 12, 2013 3:19 p.m.

There is still no sex in the Filner scandal, honestly, like everyone else I assumed there would be after so much teasing in the media, and so much vague talk from those I once respected. No complaint alleges sex actually.— September 12, 2013 12:56 p.m.
