City attorney Goldsmith boasted how he worked on Filner ouster for 8 months
Oh, but Don, the Downtown establishment will be absolutely crushed if we don't burden the taxpayers (the great "unwashed") with the cost of a new football stadium and the expansion of the convention center. However, (and I confess to being a dreamer), I would support the enlargement of the convention center IF the revenue generated was used to, directly, reduce our local tax burden (for example;, I pay a LOT of school taxes and am an old curmudgeon with no children in school). There's no doubt that San Diego is a highly desireable convention site. Unfortunately, BIG groups are forced to use Las Vegas who have the hotel space to accomodate the large organizations (i.e Consumer Electronic Show, etc.). So, that might give us a clue to the awesome contributions from the real estate and hospitality industries to our illustrous mayoral candidates. A bigger convention center means big dollars for this group -- additional hotels would be a must. The tourist/conventioneer revenue boggles the mind. Hey, if they could, somehow, declare downtown as Native American Territory, we could bring casino gamling in, too!! Is there no end to the possibilities??? Remember, it's better to laugh once-in-awhile than cry all the time. http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/o…— October 21, 2013 4:27 p.m.
City attorney Goldsmith boasted how he worked on Filner ouster for 8 months
If it is true: *Thus, the city attorney worked for eight months in an ouster did that not permit the mayor due process.*, Goldsmith should be removed from office forthwith. To deny ANYONE due process is more heinous than the perpetrator, in this case, Filner. Perhaps Goldsmith was invoking either the Patriot Act or the National Defense Authorization Act and claiming that Filner was a "person of interest". Under this legislation, Filner could have simply been spirited away to Gitmo -- case closed. The irony is that Filner voted for both of those unConstitutional laws. Yes, Goldsmith will cling to the old "expedency and cost savings defense" while violating his oath of office as a public attorney. "So, what's new in San Diego -- the land of the rich and powerful and influential".— October 21, 2013 4:04 p.m.
Pro-Kevin Faulconer committee receives $110,000 from Building and Restaurant Industry PACs
A STORY OF THE THREE BIG PIGS Here we go, again ... or ... same 'ol, same 'ol ... the BIG money will decide ... the developers ... the labor unions ... The Chamber of Commerce ... even Qualcom has a horse in the race. But who represents US ... the so-called "little people"; often referred to as the "unwashed" or "uninformed voters"; the TAXPAYERS. The answer is NOBODY. I reside in Faulconer's district. Getting him to do ANYTHING for the "little people" has been impossible -- he has bigger fish to fry. His landmark achievement is the preservation of the fire rings on the beach. Massive potholes are another issue. The other leading candidates are no better; most have been feeding at the public trough for decades. So buckle your seat belts, get your checkbook out and prepare for more of the same. Bob Filner's crowning achievement was getting rid of the "rip-off red-light-camera entrapment program. Will the new mayor bring them back??? http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/o…— October 21, 2013 3:12 p.m.
