San Diego mayor Jerry Sanders says he's a big fan of privatization of vital city services, but so far hasn't done that much about it. Now comes a report that suggests expanding the concept to Balboa Park and perhaps raising taxes to boot.

"Finally, there is a role for the private sector to provide services that are not central to the core mission of the Park, increasing the overall resources available for investment in new and improved facilities and providing for adequate maintenance. Although daunting, the Park’s financial condition is not unsolvable. Hard times call for hard choices but a sufficient number of options exist to develop a workable financing plan.
