"Independent" Analyst Swayed National Expert To Soften Position on Appointed Auditor
The sky is falling! The sky is falling! San Diego has weathered worse and still survived. I say thars nut'n wrong with a little belt tightening from time to time. As long as we rid ourselves of all the chicken littles...— January 15, 2008 12:19 p.m.
A Giant Day of Football
Can't you all see it's just an NFL conspiracy? Send the Chargers to the Super Bowl, and San Diegans will be so drunk with itself, stumbling over itself to go $1 billion into debt for Spanos and Company on a new stadium. Don't think they can't rig this entertainment for the good of the whole. If the Patriots loose, you're watching them "take one for the team." The team being the NFL. Watch the officials, that's were the game can be rigged.— January 14, 2008 8:58 p.m.
"Independent" Analyst Swayed National Expert To Soften Position on Appointed Auditor
Right On Post #1. And Francis (who I wrongly opposed as being a carpetbagger from Las Vegas last election cycle) gives every indication he CAN and WILL work cooperatively with Aguirre. Time to get rid of this fraud Sanders.— January 14, 2008 6:37 p.m.
A Giant Day of Football
I left San Diego in 1989 to return to the Pacific Northwest. I remained a Charger fan, this was sorely tested when Junior Seau left the team but I persevered in the face of the "you have to be a Seahawk fan because you live here" pressure. I won $40 yesterday but betting on my boys: Go Chargers--well done!!!!!— January 14, 2008 1:28 p.m.
U-T News People Get Pep Talk, but Little News
You should also mention that many of the owners who originally owned the land on which those downtown condos were built had the land stolen out from under them and were forced to sell their properties to redevelopment agencies at fire sale prices. Including the Frost family, who was forced to sell their square block lumberyard for pennies on the dollar to a politically connected developer so he could cash in.— January 13, 2008 10:50 a.m.

You also wrote several columns that stated using taxpayer money to build stadiums never results in any economic benefit for the surrounding community and is often a drain on the economy/tax base. Why would UT management allow such columns to be published? It appears that UT management had some tolerance for opposing opinions as evidenced by your columns.— January 12, 2008 9:56 p.m.
U-T News People Get Pep Talk, but Little News
I can't understand the rationale for your suspension. You wrote many columns agruing against the new ballpark, the Charger subsidy, and corporate welfare in general. I always thought that UT management published your columns out of fairness, to counterbalance the postive spin the paper put on the sports and redevelopment deals in general.— January 12, 2008 9:50 p.m.
U-T News People Get Pep Talk, but Little News
It's too bad, Don, and reflective of newsies in general, that after 30 years in management at the UT you have no reliable contacts in the larger organization. There are people who know exactly what is going on -- be they in HR or accounting. Instead, the insular newsies consult their tea leaves and crystal balls to figure out what is happening all around them. I do recall two funny events when you came onto the HR radar screen: newsdoll Karin Winner came to complain that you were notorious for sharing off-color jokes in your office. Whatever could she do, she asked. She was told point blank to tell you point blank to knock it off. Another time, with typical lack of nerve, la Winner suspended you for a week over some issue with the ballpark, but then stayed the execution. Refresh my memory on that.— January 12, 2008 7:58 p.m.
