More Chula Vistans Gather to Fight Lake Pointe Project
also pay attention to the state. they are recreating redevelopment using the term "sustainable communities". this time there is no blight requirement. So they will getting billions in subsidies as soon as Cap and Trade auctions begin. No one ever pays attention to the state and how developers are gaining power. they also keep destroying CEQA which we need to have reinstated and get rid of all the exemptions they have received.— October 24, 2012 5:53 p.m.
More Chula Vistans Gather to Fight Lake Pointe Project
we need a ballot measure to take power away from developers. SD has no more water for any new development which is why they are forcing every1 to conserve by jacking rates sky high. That way they can keep developing. We need a ballot measure forcing developers to pay more for using water which effects all our rates. Now we subsidize all new development.— October 24, 2012 5:51 p.m.
California Prop 30 ends the Brown Act Open Government laws
I am interested in your research. Please share with me how Brown Act would still be enforceable if this were passed....I just dont trust anything in the language of this proposition. If it says the state doesnt have to fund the Brown act. Then can the cities say they are broke and not pay for it? What legal language makes it enforceable w/o being funded?— October 24, 2012 3:28 p.m.
California Prop 30 ends the Brown Act Open Government laws
A continuing stream of revenue to local governments A restriction of the State’s authority to expand program requirements A requirement that the State share the costs of some unanticipated program expenses An elimination of mandate funding liability An elimination of State reimbursement for Open Meeting Act Costs It says NOTHING about ensuring the Brown Act is enforceable w/o reimbursement from state— October 24, 2012 3:08 p.m.
California Prop 30 ends the Brown Act Open Government laws
Francke...really? that sounds like a fancy way of saying the state doesnt have to enforce the Brown Act if its broke and it will ALWAYS be broke.— October 24, 2012 2:47 p.m.
Proposition 39 opposition : "green energy" is not as green as it seems
I know ALL about Prop 39...sounds like you have a financial stake in this proposition by your rhetoric. "Energy efficiency" does NOT equal green. "retrofits" mean vinyl windows and siding. Do you understand the magnitude of the environmental impact of poly vinyl chlorides? they are BEYOND toxic...so toxic NYC passed a law outlawing the use of PVCs in govt buildings but here in CA we will subsidize the use of PVCs. "Energy efficiency" is SUCH a dangerous term . Its used to demolish buildings and throw them into landfills, its used to subside toxic tech. Not to mention Im sure this will pay for mercury filled flourescent lightbulbs. "An oversight committee"?! PUH---LEASE!!!! do you expect taxpayers to buy that. Steyer is a FRAUD!!! Why does he have so much of his money in the Cayman Islands? Why does he have so much invested in BP? Does someone who cares about the environment support BP?— October 10, 2012 6:56 p.m.
Before you vote for tax hikes California consider this.....

Before you vote for tax hikes California consider this.....
Mindy you are awesome! love your comments! Yes Obama is not at all what he claimed to be. I didnt vote for him because he oozed betrayal to me. Pretty much just start w/ the assumption that whatever you are being told is the opposite of what it is. I just researched prop 39 the Clean Energy Jobs prop and its another giant giveaway to energy comps and developers.— September 18, 2012 10:52 p.m.
DeMaio's Apartment Association Endorsement: Move Toward or Away From the Center?
anyone who supports the corrupt affordable housing ring does NOT have my vote. Affordable housing is the biggest scam in town. there is an 8 year waiting list for vouchers yet the city only keeps building when we have the largest glut in history. Ill your doing is continuing to depress the economy by adding to the glut. Im disappointed in Filner. he LOST my vote for sure.— September 13, 2012 9:14 p.m.
Biggest Prop 30 tax burden would fall on wealthiest 1%
How bout that quarter % sales tax hike...pretty sure that falls on ALL of us!! Also these hikes are for 7 years. if the dollar crashes or we have inflation a couple making $250k will be middle class at best and we are stuck w/ those hikes. Hell no on tax hikes!!! Google the city or Hercules. see the story today about the 50 million dollars a politician stole in redevelopment dollars.— September 13, 2012 9:08 p.m.
