The current Sunroad blowup shows rank hypocrisy
Don- We do know that he DIDN'T intend to put it in his pocket. The money went to two different charitable projects: The Ocean Beach Veterans' Plaza and the Ciclos Dias event in August. We also know that once he issued the veto of the City Council's vote, Sunroad's Tom Story contacted the mayor's office to see how they could "remove the wrench" and proceed with what the City Council had already agreed with, i.e. undo the veto. That's when the $100k donation was offered up. This was merely a (very) clumsy effort on the part of Filner to make sure that the City wasn't giving away something of value for nothing, as City Council's past and present have been wont to do.— July 1, 2013 6:03 p.m.
San Diego city council to appeal $1.1 million religious school verdict
Little late to this party, but here goes: Visduh, your comparison of OLP (and by extension their brother school St. Augustine) to Cathedral and Mater Dei is interesting, but incorrect. Totally and completely incorrect. Mater Dei Catholic and Cathedral Catholic are both part of the Diocese. Thus, they have access to the resources of the San Diego Diocese. The Diocese built both campuses (and you are correct, they are both very, very nice!). But OLP and Saints are Augustinian schools. They are NOT part of the Diocese, and they do not get access to the funding the Diocese can provide. They operate differently, independently. They have to fundraise like crazy just to compete. So no, this is not a case of the Diocese looking to make a ton of money off of OLP's increased enrollment. The Diocese doesn't give them a dime, and doesn't get a dime in return.— February 28, 2013 2:51 p.m.
Filner Talks About His Alternative to Prop B
Hey Dave: Thanks for the shout out. Just one minor correction: Filner says that those city employees who have the six figure pensions are *all* management types, while the average city pensioner draws around $29k per year. And the $550 million he says will be saved in the first 10 years was attributed to the refinancing component only. More will be saved via renegotiating labor contracts for a five year term (it will work similarly to the Prop B salary freeze, with a smaller pay increase than is currently called for in the contracts instead of a complete freeze), but he didn't pin down a figure on that.— April 24, 2012 5:53 p.m.
