Nudie Bar Opens Across Street from Chula Vista’s Bayfront
Maybe mayor Cox will declare this still another Chula Vista attraction. Not sure if it will rank above or below the toll road.— October 8, 2012 10:39 p.m.
Nudie Bar Opens Across Street from Chula Vista’s Bayfront
Seemingly overnight, ex-Anthony's Fish Grotto becomes EyeCandy, and no one in the city government was aware. No moral judgement here, at all. However, something is a little bit "fishy" here.— October 8, 2012 7:54 p.m.
Chula Vista Project Raises Ethics Questions for Council Members
All good points. Also, aren't we supposed to be short on water? Doesn't sound like very good planning. "Stupid is as stupid does."— October 4, 2012 10:56 a.m.
Sweetwater School Board Awards 2-Year Contract to Ed Brand
I think this might've already been asked, but does anyone know who wrote this contract, and did the taxpayers pay for Brand's representative's services?— September 26, 2012 5:07 p.m.
Sweetwater School Board Awards 2-Year Contract to Ed Brand
Why did the public have to wait until the wee hours of the morning for this? What was the need for negotiating through dinner, and a half a normal night's sleep? Couldn't the board have passed out the proposed contract to the public, recessed, and returned another day to receive input as well as give themselves a fresher look at the proposal? The answer is this school board has absolutely no respect for the public, and the deal was probably done from the start. It is really a shame that these three board members -Cartmill-Ricasa-McCann- are not up for re-election in November. If they were, they certainly wouldn't have so boldly shown their contempt for the people they are supposed to represent.— September 25, 2012 3:42 p.m.
Sweetwater Interim Superintendent Ed Brand Resigns
Let's not forget that Quinones outright lied to the press following the last school board meeting. ...When asked point blank, however, board president Pearl Quiñones said, “No, Brand has not resigned.” (SDReader Sept. 11, 2012)— September 24, 2012 3:40 p.m.
Sweetwater Interim Superintendent Ed Brand Resigns
On Sept 22, bvagency commented: "... I believe this district can run without a superintendent for 6 to 8 months while a national search is conducted for a new Superintendent..." He's right. We really don't need an interim, and especially anyone with local political connections that is already receiving a state pension (been there-done that). It is a totally unnecessary step. One thing Brand's quitting did was demonstrate that Sweetwater can operate without a grossly over-compensated CEO.— September 24, 2012 8:41 a.m.
Sweetwater Interim Superintendent Ed Brand Resigns
Sjtorres: The unions wanted Gandara out too. By your logic he must have been doing something right. Really?— September 22, 2012 7:52 a.m.
Sweetwater Interim Superintendent Ed Brand Resigns
Visduh, you are right on.— September 21, 2012 8:31 p.m.
Sweetwater Interim Superintendent Ed Brand Resigns
The SUHSD school board will more than likely be changing hands soon. It would really be a shame if the present board gave Brand a contract at all, but worse if it contained a severance package. I don't care if it is common practice or not in most districts, these are exceptional times, and a buy-out clause would be setting the taxpayers up, once again, for yet another fleecing. Remember, this man has already quit his job, why should we guarantee him a "package" if and when we fire him?— September 21, 2012 6:46 p.m.
