Filner imbroglio is all about greed
Thank you for agreeing that the 21+ year Civil Rights, the Fair Housing Act, and the HEARTH Act Violations need addressing. The first thing you can do is support Mayor Filner as he moves the $1 Billion in assets including $100 of million in cash, bond proceeds, and the annual @ $200 million is to get the City Council behind the proposal to move money from downtown into our Neighborhoods for infrastructure and quality of life projects. Mayor Filner has effectively saved taxpayers $1 Billion by a 5 year pensionable pay freeze negotiated this June 2013. The seal lions and shore birds no longer stink at La Jolla Cove, the Children's Pool Seal Rookery has a nighttime video camera to discourage harassments of Pregnant harbor seals, and their cute pups.— August 2, 2013 1:54 p.m.
Filner imbroglio is all about greed
Agreed Two Separate Issues. Mayor Filner deserved the public shaming and Intervention by Donna Frye, Cory Briggs, and Marco Gonzalez. No one should be intimidated. However this discussion thread is specifically about Following the Money in Successor Agency assets and annual revenue under operational control of Civic San Diego staff, the former CCDC, City Council President Gloria, the IBA, City Attorney Goldsmith, and members of Mayor Filner's financial staff. Mayor Filner's financial staff promised the City Council to bring forth the Non-Housing Due Diligence Report (DDR), $1 Billion in Assets, and $100s of millions in annual revenue including leases, parking districts, agreements, unspent bond proceeds. The issue is Sexual Harassment in the Office versus Life and Death of over 60+ San Diegans a year. The conspiracy of the City Attorney, City Council President, Civic San Diego, the former CCDC, and some of Mayor Filner's staff are continuing to Violate the Civil Rights of children, mentally ill, poor, homeless, etc. by Fraud and Misappropriation of Public Funds of the Successor Agency of the former RDA. In comparison, this fraud is kind of a big deal. Financial and social discrimination of classes of people. Certainly immoral. It started in 1992 when Mayor Filner left for Congress. The State Attorney General Kamala Harris and Governor Jerry Brown can confirmed that RDA Tax Increment (TI) was allowed to be used for Homeless Emergency Shelters and associated social services of the Regional Continuum of Care Council (RCCC), and Affordable Housing project citywide. Instead of only in RDA Project Areas.— August 2, 2013 1:12 p.m.
Filner imbroglio is all about greed
The intimidating behavior is oppressive. Everyone should feel safe at the work place. Separate Issue: Mayor Filner is fighting for the Civil rights of poor and homeless. San Diego City and County are in violation of the Federal Fair Housing Act and HEARTH Act . How about an independent investigation if the $1 Billion in assets (as of June 30, 2012) of the former Civic San Diego, CCDC Redevelopment Agency (RDA) will be unfrozen by the State Department of Finance later this summer 2013? Or why the Successor Agency Non-Housing Due Diligence Report (DDR) was approved by IBA and Civic San Diego Staff and bypass public hearings at both Civic San Diego Board of Directors and City Council approval. Mayor Filner's financial staff promised the Non-Housing DDR approval would be brought back to the City Council for approval by June 2013. Or the annual @ $200 million in new revenue streams including lease revenue, downtown park district revenue, over $100 million in unspent Bond Proceeds.— August 2, 2013 12:13 p.m.

There is hope that the City Council will back the easy solution. If the mayor resigns than by law our City Council President Todd Gloria would retain operational control of the former RDA assets and ongoing new Revenue streams. The status quo will remain.— August 1, 2013 10:15 a.m.
No known witnesses yet in Jackson lawsuit, says Filner's lawyer
The simplicity of the solution of that Mayor Filner, without the need for legal approval by the City Council, Civic San Diego, and City Attorney Goldsmith [CCCSDCAG], can stop Homelessnes today and redistribute the $1 billion in assets (as of June 31, 2012), and new Revenue sources. He has yet to ask for an Independant legal opinion by our State Attorney General Kamala Harris if Redevelopment Agency (RDA) Tax Increment (TI) is a legal use for Homeless Emergency Shelter and associated social services, and Affordable Housing. Citywide instead of just in Redevelopment Agency (RDA) Project Areas (PA). If confirmed, than since 1992, when Mayor Filner was elected to Congress, the Civil Rights of children, seniors, mentally ill, etc have been Violated. Also the City and County are in Violation of the Federal Fair Housing Act and the HEARTH Act.— August 1, 2013 10:10 a.m.

Follow the money. Specifically the $1 Billion in former Redevelopment Agency (RDA) Tax Increment currently under control of City Attorney Goldsmith, City Council President Todd Gloria, and the private Civic San Diego. http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2013/jun/19/ci… Mayor Filner is trying to gain control of the new source of ongoing funding including lease revenue, the downtown parking district revenue, cash, future bonds proceeds, properties, that can be leveraged for public infrastructure citywide instead. It is good that Donna Frye, Cory Briggs, and Marco Gonzalez gave the mayor a public Intervention. No one should feel intimidated at work. Every San Diegan deserves to feel safe including children, battered women, mentally ill, drug/alcohol dependent, etc. Mayor Filner is the ONLY politician who puts the poor and homeless first.

Laura Fink's campaign role with Todd Gloria
Just came back from beautiful Yosemite. www.tinyurl.com/20130612 Thank you Christine for the kind words. Linked above is our solution for Mayor Filner to use the Strong Mayor form of Government to increase our Quality of Life, and save the Veterans Tent from closing down. Mayor Filner is responsible for his own bad, rude, and immature behavior. As our Strong Mayor, Mayor Filner does have a GREAT deal of power to help children, battered women, the poor, mentally ill, sick, etc. while bypassing the City Council and City Attorney by moving the $1 Billion in former CCDC Redevelopment Agency (RDA) assets into the General Fund. This would fulfill Mayor Filner's campaign promise to move money from downtown into our Neighborhoods. The timing is shady. Specifically the time since the start of Fiscal Year FY-2014 on July 1, 2013, and the release of the remaining assets of the RDA later this summer 2013.— July 27, 2013 12:19 a.m.
