San Diego universities botch sexual assault investigations
Nostalgic and Visduh. I completely agree about the underlining issue of alcohol consumption in regards to sexual assaults on campus. When conducting research for this article, alcohol was present in most cases. Just an opinion but it seems as if law enforcement agencies and colleges are aware of this. It's likely the reason schools have the authority to conduct these types of investigations in the first place. Otherwise, local law enforcement agencies would be stuck trying to decide which allegations are real and which ones are a result of poor decisions/regrets while under the influence. It's really a tough position for students and colleges and is a difficult problem to solve. They know they can't stop students from drinking and partying. -dH

University offers to foot the bill for Ché Café repairs
Not that you need to hear it but my two cents: I appreciate reading what some commenters, anonymous or not, have to add. They always provide a different viewpoint, regardless of how far off that may be. I also have to say that Visduh, whoever that is, usually leaves thoughtful and informative comments that have added to the discussion. I'm not referring to the Che comments in particular, just thought I'd add my opinion as a fellow writer. Anyhoo, good work on the issue. I'm glad it turned out the way it did.-dH

A mugshot is what they seek
That's interesting. My reading is that the AG requested documents from SDOG because they "may" be a charitable trust. That "may" was determined to be an "is" in March 2014 and was then rectified. There was no mention of any suspension, not from the documents listed on the AG's website. And yes, I am not trying to help anyone. I am doing my job. If you disagree with what I reported then I suggest you go back and reread iNewsource's account, rather accounts plural, to make you feel better. Thanks. -dH

A mugshot is what they seek
Mr. Flannery, thanks for the question. First, I am not trying to help Briggs out. The article started with the accusation that Briggs is not signing declarations. It then addressed a claim that SDOG did not file state and federal paperwork for five years. According to the AG website, SDOG did register, after AG contacted them about its "charitable trust" status. Then two years later the determination was made they are a "charitable trust." After that, the fees and the RFF's were filed to come into compliance with the Attorney General's designation. As for the issue of standing, I agree that is a larger legal question, one I am sure Briggs will have to answer in court, and one that Goldsmith will undoubtedly raise. That is for a judge to decide. Again, the article was not about the issue of standing but was about whether claims that SDOG did not file paperwork for five years was accurate. It is not. It did in 2011 and then again in 2014. If this issue over paperwork means they have not had standing in these cases, then that will be covered by media outlets, including this one. Thanks for the comment. -dH

A mugshot is what they seek
WIWTW: Sorry for not including the link. There were a few months when SDOG did not respond within the 30 days, thus the two similar letters in March and May 2011. After that things appeared resolved. Then in Nov. 2013, the AG again wanted to see if SDOG should be considered a charitable trust. In March it said it was one. SDOG then submitted all necessary paperwork and fees. In a way, Brad Racino was correct that SDOG didn't pay and submit all necessary paperwork until 2014. The part they left out was they did so less than one month after the Attorney General made the final determination. Not sure where the crime is there.

A mugshot is what they seek
Thanks for the comment. Here's a nifty timeline straight from California Attorney General's website. For anyone else that wants to follow along, here's a link...type in "San Diegans for Open Government" in the field labeled: "organization name." --In Dec. 2010, two years after SDOG is created, the Attorney General sends a letter asking for more information to see whether group should be classified as a charitable trust: "We have received information indicating that this organization MAY be subject to the registration and reporting requirements of the Supervision of Trustees and Fundraisers for Charitable Purposes Act (Government Code sections 12580, et seq.)." --Feb. 2011 AG sends another letter requesting more information before determination is made. It wants, among other things, registration form and fees to start trust. --In March and May 2011 AG sends the same letter again. --July 2011 SDOG sends in their initial registration form. --In July 2011 AG sends another letter not asking for registration form or money as in previous letters but for amended article of incorporation. This is taken to mean that previous demands were addressed. --Fast forward to Nov. 2013. AG send a letters saying unsure whether group is a charitable trust. Requests additional information, much of the same in earlier correspondence. --March 2014, AG designates group as charitable trust. Requests registration, fees, and other documents be submitted. --April 2014, SDOG submits all necessary paperwork to be classified as a charitable trust. So, yes, you are correct. The stamps all say April 2014, one month after AG makes the final determination. I don't expect any tweets or corrections. Maybe next time, do some thorough research and save me time from having to.

Two lawyers walk into a swamp...
WIWTW- I should clarify that Cacciatore's attorney, Marco Gonzalez, was the one to give the transcript to Inewsource. They did so as the City Attorney was trying to get an expedited hearing needed to release the official one. The hearing was cancelled after the transcript was handed over. Briggs has said that the amended transcript is currently sealed and cannot be released. Thx-dH

Still, fewer pages than Hillary
Rasa, the city pays to retrieve/collect public documents and then charges the person for copying costs. In this case, the city will likely have to pay for collecting,compiling, and attorney's fees.-dH

Two lawyers walk into a swamp...
UPDATE: Cacciatore had the following to say in regards to her testimony that she had not worked on any projects that Briggs had sued over: ***"I said I hadn't worked on any projects Cory sued over because I did not know he had sued over any of them and I had left Helix by the time the lawsuits were filed. Plus, he and I did not share specifics about his work and my work. It was not until Inewsource and Goldsmith falsely claimed I was Cory's VP in order to go after him that I learned of the overlap."***

Going off the rails on a gravy train?
DanFogel, you found me out. I am a male, a very good looking one at that! I suspect that exchange about me having to disclose it was an inside joke between the Dwbat and ShirleyBeran. I didn't feel the need to interject. Thx -dH

San Diego universities botch sexual assault investigations
Nostalgic and Visduh. I completely agree about the underlining issue of alcohol consumption in regards to sexual assaults on campus. When conducting research for this article, alcohol was present in most cases. Just an opinion but it seems as if law enforcement agencies and colleges are aware of this. It's likely the reason schools have the authority to conduct these types of investigations in the first place. Otherwise, local law enforcement agencies would be stuck trying to decide which allegations are real and which ones are a result of poor decisions/regrets while under the influence. It's really a tough position for students and colleges and is a difficult problem to solve. They know they can't stop students from drinking and partying. -dH— September 8, 2015 10:36 a.m.
University offers to foot the bill for Ché Café repairs
Not that you need to hear it but my two cents: I appreciate reading what some commenters, anonymous or not, have to add. They always provide a different viewpoint, regardless of how far off that may be. I also have to say that Visduh, whoever that is, usually leaves thoughtful and informative comments that have added to the discussion. I'm not referring to the Che comments in particular, just thought I'd add my opinion as a fellow writer. Anyhoo, good work on the issue. I'm glad it turned out the way it did.-dH— September 7, 2015 9:30 a.m.
A mugshot is what they seek
That's interesting. My reading is that the AG requested documents from SDOG because they "may" be a charitable trust. That "may" was determined to be an "is" in March 2014 and was then rectified. There was no mention of any suspension, not from the documents listed on the AG's website. And yes, I am not trying to help anyone. I am doing my job. If you disagree with what I reported then I suggest you go back and reread iNewsource's account, rather accounts plural, to make you feel better. Thanks. -dH— June 2, 2015 5:57 p.m.
A mugshot is what they seek
Mr. Flannery, thanks for the question. First, I am not trying to help Briggs out. The article started with the accusation that Briggs is not signing declarations. It then addressed a claim that SDOG did not file state and federal paperwork for five years. According to the AG website, SDOG did register, after AG contacted them about its "charitable trust" status. Then two years later the determination was made they are a "charitable trust." After that, the fees and the RFF's were filed to come into compliance with the Attorney General's designation. As for the issue of standing, I agree that is a larger legal question, one I am sure Briggs will have to answer in court, and one that Goldsmith will undoubtedly raise. That is for a judge to decide. Again, the article was not about the issue of standing but was about whether claims that SDOG did not file paperwork for five years was accurate. It is not. It did in 2011 and then again in 2014. If this issue over paperwork means they have not had standing in these cases, then that will be covered by media outlets, including this one. Thanks for the comment. -dH— June 2, 2015 3:19 p.m.
A mugshot is what they seek
WIWTW: Sorry for not including the link. There were a few months when SDOG did not respond within the 30 days, thus the two similar letters in March and May 2011. After that things appeared resolved. Then in Nov. 2013, the AG again wanted to see if SDOG should be considered a charitable trust. In March it said it was one. SDOG then submitted all necessary paperwork and fees. In a way, Brad Racino was correct that SDOG didn't pay and submit all necessary paperwork until 2014. The part they left out was they did so less than one month after the Attorney General made the final determination. Not sure where the crime is there.— June 2, 2015 2:36 p.m.
A mugshot is what they seek
Thanks for the comment. Here's a nifty timeline straight from California Attorney General's website. For anyone else that wants to follow along, here's a link...type in "San Diegans for Open Government" in the field labeled: "organization name." --In Dec. 2010, two years after SDOG is created, the Attorney General sends a letter asking for more information to see whether group should be classified as a charitable trust: "We have received information indicating that this organization MAY be subject to the registration and reporting requirements of the Supervision of Trustees and Fundraisers for Charitable Purposes Act (Government Code sections 12580, et seq.)." --Feb. 2011 AG sends another letter requesting more information before determination is made. It wants, among other things, registration form and fees to start trust. --In March and May 2011 AG sends the same letter again. --July 2011 SDOG sends in their initial registration form. --In July 2011 AG sends another letter not asking for registration form or money as in previous letters but for amended article of incorporation. This is taken to mean that previous demands were addressed. --Fast forward to Nov. 2013. AG send a letters saying unsure whether group is a charitable trust. Requests additional information, much of the same in earlier correspondence. --March 2014, AG designates group as charitable trust. Requests registration, fees, and other documents be submitted. --April 2014, SDOG submits all necessary paperwork to be classified as a charitable trust. So, yes, you are correct. The stamps all say April 2014, one month after AG makes the final determination. I don't expect any tweets or corrections. Maybe next time, do some thorough research and save me time from having to.— June 2, 2015 12:32 p.m.
Two lawyers walk into a swamp...
WIWTW- I should clarify that Cacciatore's attorney, Marco Gonzalez, was the one to give the transcript to Inewsource. They did so as the City Attorney was trying to get an expedited hearing needed to release the official one. The hearing was cancelled after the transcript was handed over. Briggs has said that the amended transcript is currently sealed and cannot be released. Thx-dH— April 27, 2015 12:23 p.m.
Still, fewer pages than Hillary
Rasa, the city pays to retrieve/collect public documents and then charges the person for copying costs. In this case, the city will likely have to pay for collecting,compiling, and attorney's fees.-dH— April 25, 2015 10:55 a.m.
Two lawyers walk into a swamp...
UPDATE: Cacciatore had the following to say in regards to her testimony that she had not worked on any projects that Briggs had sued over: ***"I said I hadn't worked on any projects Cory sued over because I did not know he had sued over any of them and I had left Helix by the time the lawsuits were filed. Plus, he and I did not share specifics about his work and my work. It was not until Inewsource and Goldsmith falsely claimed I was Cory's VP in order to go after him that I learned of the overlap."***— April 23, 2015 7:24 p.m.
Going off the rails on a gravy train?
DanFogel, you found me out. I am a male, a very good looking one at that! I suspect that exchange about me having to disclose it was an inside joke between the Dwbat and ShirleyBeran. I didn't feel the need to interject. Thx -dH— April 22, 2015 11:02 a.m.
