Texas oil funds San Diego hit spots
The two democratic candidates could not have records more different. For example, Saldaña wrote the law that ended open carry of handguns in California and Fletcher voted against it. Saldaña got a 7% rating with the NRA and Fletcher got a 93% rating with the NRA. Saldaña voted pro environment. Fletcher voted anti environment. The best indicator of a candidate is how they voted in the past. Saldaña’s votes have clearly supported the people of San Diego and Fletcher’s votes have supported his big money donors.— May 26, 2018 4:03 p.m.
Texas oil funds San Diego hit spots
The reason Nathan Fletcher needs all this outside lobbyist money is because his record is dismal. The reason all these outside lobbyists are funneling money into Nathan Fletcher’s campaign is they know what they are buying. They know his record and they can expect more of the same even though Fletcher is no longer running as a Republican. The reason the Democratic establishment has endorsed Fletcher is because he married into a power broker. The corrosive power of money is not limited to Republicans. http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2018/m…— May 26, 2018 3:38 p.m.
Nathan's spousal support
It is clear Fletcher is owned by fat cats and corporations. His voting record from his 4 years in Sacramento shows he is in the pocket of his big donors.— May 11, 2018 9:11 a.m.
High stakes for Lorena and Nathan
If you check Nathan Fletcher’s record, you will see by his votes he is pro-gun & anti-environment. Lori Saldaña’s record is for sensible gun control & pro-environment. You can see for yourself Nathan Fletcher's 93% “A” rating with the National Rifle Association (NRA) at: https://votesmart.org/interest-group/520/rating/8… and all his votes, including Nathan Fletcher's anti-environment votes at: https://votesmart.org/candidate/key-votes/104432/… votesmart.org is my favorite tool to check on any candidate that has held national or state office because a politician’s record is more revealing than paid ads or endorsements.— March 27, 2018 1:44 p.m.
Shopping Plaza Owner and One Paseo neighbor spends $10,000 to lobby against project
I collected signatures from other Carmel Valley residents who are opposed to this mega-development. Myself and all the others volunteered our time because we care about the quality of life in our community. We are grassroots and we are growing as more people wake up to all the negatives that come with development too big for the roads and infrastructure to handle. This big LA developer likes to emphasize their new reduced plan even though it is still nearly 3 times the size allowed by current zoning. Our roads cannot carry that much more traffic. The effects will reach well beyond Carmel Valley. Congestion will extend to highway 5 and all of San Diego will be get a taste of LA style traffic.— February 9, 2013 6:18 p.m.
Councilmember Sherri Lightner's Campaign Receives Thousands From One Paseo Developer
The City Council opposing candidate has also taken this developer's money. Everyone (except the Supreme Court) knows money corrupts. I asked him a few times for a definitive statement about his position on One Paseo and only got the usual weasel words from him. I also talked to our City Council Representative a few more times and I feel she will vote against this development if the Planning Board recommends against it. So it is up to we the people to let our voices be heard.— June 25, 2012 10 p.m.
Councilmember Sherri Lightner's Campaign Receives Thousands From One Paseo Developer
Regarding the bogus "Smart Growth" award: There is nothing smart about this growth but the award ploy is clever. They have created an organization that appears to be environmentally based and packed it full of pro-development hacks. Then they give out awards to their clients under the banner of smart growth. The award also provides cover for politicians who have sold their vote. They can point to the award as a reason for voting against the interests of their constituents.— May 3, 2012 10:11 p.m.
Councilmember Sherri Lightner's Campaign Receives Thousands From One Paseo Developer
It certainly looks like our City Council Representative has sold us out. When I asked the Carmel Valley representative where she stood on the One Paseo proposal, I got the usual weasel words politicians use when they want to avoid taking a position. Since Sherri Lightner has accepted all these "donations", she needs to prove the developer has not bought her vote.— May 3, 2012 9:45 p.m.
