San Diegans for City Hall Reform pushes more authority for mayor
RE: Post 7; Don, you say in this post; "Public sector pay and pensions are far too high compared with the private sector, and far too high for the municipalities to afford to shell out the money for them." Before making such a statement lets define who "Public Sector Employees" and "Private Sector Employees" are. "Public Employees" include; Judges (Supreme, Federal, State, Appellate), Politicians (Congress, Senate, Federal, State, Local), College Professors, Military, Police, Fire, Government workers (City Hall, State Capital and Federal Office employees) to name a few. "Private Employees" include; retail, service (Hotel/Motel, food service), private companies (Only the Top Executives make real money), construction trades, doctors, nurses, self employed. Take into account the cuts to the American worker and the number of jobs shipped off shore and the rate of unemployment and the numbers are skewed. Per capita comparisons do not work here. Your top CEO of any Fortune 500 company makes more money than ANY "Public Sector Employee" will ever make. The fact they pay minimum wage to their employees should not be used to argue "Public Sector Employees" pay and benefits. This is the reason the City adopted the "Living Wage". Your argument is what is wrong with San Diego. They want it all and do not want to pay for it. We have the lowest TOT; pay for fewer services (trash collection to name one); and pay at a lower rate than every other City in the State for the services received. Vallejo's problems are not the same as San Diego's.— February 20, 2008 9:44 p.m.
San Diego's Police State: Blogger Flannery Booted Out of Dumanis Press Conference
Don, why do you not address Johnny Vegas in post 12? He is so far off the page and you remain mute? This press conference was not in a public place; she had nothing to do with Norman being removed from the venue; there is no 1983 action (Thomas Jefferson Law? Really?); 4th amendment violation? You are kidding right?; "the public has a right to attend" where did this come from?? Come on Don. I thought better of you. Why do you allow this kind of post without setting the record straight?— February 20, 2008 9:15 p.m.
