Downtown San Diego Partnership Pushes For Renewal of Assessment District
Perhaps they should all read your columns in the Reader. Like, the ones with data on the legality of what they are doing.— August 9, 2012 7:59 a.m.
Strong-Arming Tactics Not New For U-T San Diego CEO John Lynch
Is the car museum to be open to the public? This is all very mysterious. Who is known to own all these classic cars? Manchester? Lynch? As always, we don't know.— August 8, 2012 7:33 p.m.
City Issues Partial Refunds To Residents in Greater Golden Hill
If taxpayers had DELAYED their tax payment instead of paying on time, they would get their refunds, since they would be INSIDE the Statute of Limitations window, not OUTSIDE. But I agree, FunHater, you do have to pay whatever is on your tax bill and no matter who voted for it. That IS the problem.— July 31, 2012 3:52 p.m.
City Attorney Warns City Against Formation of Assessment Districts
The city was told in 2008 that their implementation of State Law was illegal. Note that the city always says "must spend time and money defending against lawsuits" or "determined to be insufficient by a court." Will somebody, some day say "The City of San Diego respects the law." Or how about, "If it's illegal, the City of San Diego won't do it." Adding, interested parties who want to form a private business association, don't have to record a lien against their property. They can just join. It's that simple. Then, the city can give them a grant, and they are back in business. Already Happened. (SPBC).— July 31, 2012 3:12 p.m.
City Issues Partial Refunds To Residents in Greater Golden Hill
The City delayed so that they could invoke the Statute of Limitations to avoid payment, even when they said it wasn't applicable. This is how the City treats its citizens--the people who PAY all of those other taxes, in addition to special assessments. It is fun for them, because it is a game they can always win. For the short term. Had they obeyed state law to begin with, none of this would have happened.— July 30, 2012 3:58 p.m.
Council To Vote To Expand Downtown Property-Based Improvement District
This will, of course, enable the new funds to be co-mingled with the old funds. So the $353,080 of services may be $600,000, and help to pay for more consultants along the way. Just so you know how it works.— July 29, 2012 5:38 p.m.
Density Increase Planned For North Park: Thousands of Single-Family Homes Will Vanish
You have seen it before and you will see it again. It won't hapen in La Jolla or Point Loma. Your community activists elsewhere prefer Community Gardens and Farmers Markets as their brand of activism, not property use. The Golden Hill corner at 25th Street North of Highway 94 is your picture of the future.— July 25, 2012 3:37 p.m.
No Means Yes: Developer Declares 'No' Vote By Local Planning Group A Victory
What was the motion for the 8-7 vote? "We vote to make no recommendation"? Since Anthony Wagner didn't see it as a majority vote, I wonder what is required.— July 21, 2012 5:27 p.m.
Downtown San Diego Partnership spends taxpayer dollars on a consultant
One of the problems with these non-profits is that they are not non-profit for everybody, certainly not in terms of salary. The people who sit in the offices and manage the people sweeping the trash (whom they never see) is not a number you can find in the audited scheme of things. Probably the non-profit manages the contractor (outsourcing), who has a manager, who subcontracts the sweeping, which is then managed. How many people does it take to manage the guy with the broom in your picture? You will never know.— July 18, 2012 12:56 p.m.
What The Mayoral Candidates Say About Open Government
Anything that brings Donna Frye back to city government is a wonderful thing. She also has good manners with the public. Perhaps she will be "Miss Manners" to Carl DeMaio - does he remain on the City Council if Bob Filner is elected mayor?— July 17, 2012 5:28 p.m.
