Susan Luzzaro
There are simply NO words in the English language to properly describe the sadness I feel in loosing such a DEAR FRIEND. Susan was loved by so many in the So Bay as she dedicated herself to reporting REAL NEWS, FACTUAL NEWS. She took pride in her approach to investigative reporting. The So. Bay was made better because of Susan. She pulled back the curtain which led to the 'Largest Corruption Case in San Diego History' - the students, taxpayers and teachers are better because of her. For years we down here south of the 8 would consistently turn to The READER because of Susan Luzzaro. But enough about Susan, the investigative, factual reporter. She and her husband Frank shared a love few will ever know. They really liked each other you know. Rarely did you see her without "MY Frank", as she referred to him. Her family meant everything to her - I can still hear her sharing fun stories of her loving children and Grandchildren and their fun get togethers. Little did I realize the impact this petite woman with the silvery hair would have on me. I am comforted in my belief that this is not the end - that I will see her again in the next life. Few I have come to know in my life have influenced me so. I am better for simply knowing her, because she had a way of helping me to see things as they were, not simply the way I wanted them to be. REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND - THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!— May 9, 2017 9:58 p.m.

Arrested trying to withdraw inheritance money from Pt. Loma Wells Fargo
Based on the information presented it boggles the mind that any customer would be put in such a position for simply wishing to withdraw THEIR OWN FREAKING MONEY!!!!!!— May 5, 2017 4:15 p.m.
Poway Unified School District in crisis?
The state of far too many Districts is one of crisis. And what of the hard working District employees - What of the students and their tax paying parents - all of these entities give and give and give. Yet what do they get in return - used and deceived.— July 14, 2016 11:02 a.m.
Queen Mother
What a great story - far too often the tax paying oublic loose sight of those whose hard work 'behind the scenes' keep our School Districts running. How wonderful it is that you have such a wonderful mother and mentor. Thank YOU for sharing!— July 13, 2016 5:11 p.m.
San Diego Unified stonewalls Sally Smith
Those who have nothing to hide - HIDE NOTHING! The issue, is quite simple, taxpayer funds are being used to pay these legal bills - which in essence makes us the owners. I understand 'confidential' redaction - however, it is appearing there is information the District does not want the public to know. I would recommend others begin asking the tough questions relative to legal fees. Just how many legal fees are residents dollars paying for annually? Do a PRA - and ask that they be broken down per category.— May 27, 2016 4:55 p.m.
Cardiff school board proposes $22 million bond measure
The amount of proposed new BONDS in the State, City and County borders on incredulous. We have BOC's (Bond Oversight Committees) trying to look out for fiscal responsibility and integrity as our Representatives - however, far too often their efforts and expertise simply ignored. We have SD Taxpayers Association Representatives attempting to also represent our best interests - in many cases, to no avail. Far too many cases of corruption, fraud, inside dealing and misrepresentation have plagued our Bond Funds from No California to So California - and yet each new Board smiles and with a straight face asks us to trust. Those of us who pay the bills are more in line with the process of "Trust, but Verify". While ALL students are deserving of a School Campus they can be proud to call theirs, in turn, we the taxpayers are deserving of accountability. Lobbying efforts against AB1342 was a major indicator that there continues to be 'certain entities' who choose to waste millions of dollars ear marked for quality campuses - stealing from students, does it get any lower? *****just my opinion— May 16, 2016 10:38 p.m.
Accused gambling scofflaws get day in court
oskidoll - is this the same Remer allegedly associated with the recent unsanctioned telephone survey taking the pulse for yet another SUHSD BOND? ****while the survey was not sanctioned/authorized by the SUHSD Board, it appears Ms. Hall thought using the questionable results might be a good idea - ?????????????— April 24, 2016 10:51 p.m.

Retirement suits Chula Vista Elementary administrator well
I understand the need for progress as it rekates to Programs addressing Education, however what I have difficulty with are PROGRAM CHANGE DECISIONS that are NOT based on the facts that show they are worth the millions we spend on them. No matter how much money you throw at a Program - ITS NOT GOING TO WORK UNLESS PARENTS ARE WILLING TO TAKE ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ASSISTING WITH THEIR CHILDS EDUCATION. Sending Martha off to school with expectations Ms. Crosby can do it all is INSANITY!!!! *****Ms. Crosby, the best retired Kindergarten teacher I ever had the pleasure of knowing. She was a blessing to all of my children!!!!!!!— April 3, 2016 8:10 p.m.
