Donna Frye muses on San Diego strong mayor and district elections
A few years ago, I wrote a story for the READER on my local branch library in North Clairemont. It was a love letter, really, and an expression of gratitude to the city and to my local librarians. However, when I contacted the Information Officer of the San Diego Library System-- the Information Officer!-- she had been forbidden to talk to me by the Mayor's Office. I called Donna Frye, my city councilwoman, for an interview, and within minutes, her Press Secretary had relayed my request and Donna called me back. Donna Frye's willingness to talk to me (as reporter AND taxpayer), to answer questions, and to reveal what she knew about library funding skullduggery forever sealed my admiration of her commitment to the city and her representation of its citizens. Thank you, Joe Deegan, for reminding me that San Diego is capable of producing honest,qualified leadership.— February 2, 2012 9:14 a.m.
