It is always about the public's money. In this case the $1 Billion in Successor Agency assets of the former CCDC Redevelopment Agency (RDA) under operational control of Civic San Diego and Council President Todd Gloria.
http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2013/jun/19/ci…
Since the end Redevelopment, our $293 million (2010) in unspent and hidden Affordable Housing assets should have been transferred into the City General Fund Reserve, and then into the San Diego Affordable Housing Trust Fund (HTF) under control of the San Diego Housing Commission.

Linked above is our solution to the problem which requires our Strong Mayor Filner to bypass the City Attorney and City Council through a Mayoral Executive Order to move all $292.9 million is Successor Housing Entity assets into our San Diego Affordable Housing Fund and/or the Housing Trust Fund (HTF). This will move operational control of our housing assets to the San Diego Housing Commission (SDHC) from Civic San Diego's self-serving administration. Then Mayor Filner will need State approval from Sacramento, instead of hoping Goldsmith's several legally flawed RDA lawsuits filed in our capitol will prevail.
Currently the remaining $700 million (2010) in non-housing assets are still being frozen by the Department of Finance (DOF). By law the non-housing former RDA assets should be deposited into the City's General Fund Reserves.
But starting on January 1, 2014, Civic San Diego and Council President Todd Gloria will have unlimited access to these public funds by keeping the money separated. — July 12, 2013 9:43 a.m.
Saldana says Filner's actions not illegal
Mayor Filner always supported the Convention Center Phase III Expansion. The last time Mayor Filner spoke on increasing public Hotel Taxes by a vote of out-of-town Hoteliers was Unconstitutional. Mayor Filner has no choice except to let the legal system to work. Nothing was given up. http://www.tinyurl.com/20130117 However, the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Convention Center Phase III Expansion Also Includes a Port Master Plan Amendment (PMPA). All Government Agencies have still failed to Confirm or Deny Active Faulting from the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal north to Laurel Street. Instead only a preliminary fault investigation was performed for the 5 acre Convention Center Phase III Expansion Footprint. Bad Engineering. Stupid Planning. San Diego needs help and professional guidance from the State Geologist, Caltrans, the US Army Corps of Engineers, and local land use leaders— July 19, 2013 2:36 a.m.
Ignoring friends' advice got Filner into trouble

Ignoring friends' advice got Filner into trouble
Our advice to Mayor Filner is to go to the two Homeless tents and apologize for his aggressive immature behavior. The poor and Homeless need a direct apology by the Mayor, and assurances that the $25 million not saved from the 5 year pensionable pay freeze for the General Fund will not have any effect on San Diegans needing hope. Everyone needs to feel safe.— July 16, 2013 5:54 p.m.
It's a lynching until proven otherwise
Mayor Filner has many loyal supporters. http://sandiegofreepress.org/2013/07/things-fall-…— July 15, 2013 8:45 p.m.

Constituent says Mayor Filner sexually harassed her at monthly meet and greet event
The women would never be mocked. There is nothing to fear. The only person being scorned as a slut and shamed is the Mayor for inappropriate behavior. If sexual harassment occurred or is occurring please call 911 and file a criminal complaint with the Police. If lessor harm has come to women, please fill out a Civil complaint with the Office of the City Attorney.— July 14, 2013 11:18 p.m.

Water Authority considering hydroelectric power at San Vicente
Good news. When the Sunrise Powerlink was detoured out of its way to the San Vicente dam face, SDG&E stated the unusual 50% longer, sinuous Powerlink route was not related to a future Hydroelectric Power Plant. That would be constructed after the dam raising project.— July 9, 2013 5:35 p.m.
