If you can stick through and not abandon hope, Annie, the rest of us sure can!

Shirleyberan, it must have taken quite some courage to come forward. Thank you for joining the conversation.

UT San Diego hopes to add four new buildings to Mission Valley property, including a 23-story residential tower

"improving public access to the San Diego River?" It's a flood control channel. It's also pretty darn close to the contaminated soil under the Stadium. The area floods pretty much every year...most buildings already have pumps in their basements to help clear the water. Where's the closest fire station? Who is going to foot the bill for the public facilities needed to support this development, when Mission Valley has been overgrown compared to the public services for at least 20 years. What could possibly be wrong with all these big shot plans?

New Sweetwater Union financial officer has controversial past

Well, I, for one, would be willing to hear about the "other side" of the fraud allegations. Can you provide any insight? People who are interested in serving the public should be willing to submit to a heavy level of scrutiny. How much of his past is he ashamed of? Why isn't it the public's right to know what he has done? This indicates his character. And his habit of saying "Oh, gee, yeah, I guess I didn't do the right thing, let me "do it over..." Isn't exactly showing a great example for the students in the district...remember, all these positions are supposed to be for people with the "students' best interests at heart...." It seems like he is up front, sure, once he is busted.

Interesting. Let's see how you land on this one. Your support of Brand has me doubting your sincerity.

Cate, can you maybe help us understand why Alt and Brand are so interested in public school administration, when they so clearly indicate by their own educational choices, that they have no respect for public education? If they go the easy route like this, and patronize and try to bring in these shaky "educational" diploma mills, how are they going to encourage students to follow the traditional educational paths and do credible research? If Mr. Alt were innocent of the charges, why did he do time? How "one-sided" is that?

How could they overlook the fact that he had served time for fraud?
