San Diego Unified suffers another legal setback over installation of stadium lighting at Hoover High School
Dorian - Could you do some investigation to find out what became of Prop MM funds - have they been completely spent, and exactly what on? When will Prop MM, and all subsequent school maintenance bonds, such as Prop S and Prop Z, be paid off?— August 8, 2013 11:25 p.m.
Ax the Tree, Grow the Branch
The city would cut down 100 year old trees to expand a library that is a mile and a half from the big new library in City Heights? What, do we have money to burn? Or is Kensington so special they get to have two libraries?— March 2, 2009 2:59 p.m.
Gloria's Hit Piece: "No Backroom Deals", Backfires
"Whitburn has yet to answer where this money is coming from." My god, you are as senile as John McSame. Whitburn and his spokesman, Sean McWherly, have both covered that territory repeatedly, everytime you and your minions bring it up. For free spending playboys like Todd and Jason, who spend their six figure salaries on Armani and cocktails, the thought of saving enough money to finance a run for City Council over 26 years of employment is too much. Come to think of it, Stephen's been in the workforce since Todd was 4 years old. Todd would have had to have saved his tooth fairy money to be able to finance his campaign, I guess. So I suppose we have to forgive him for taking all those thousands from every developer and lobbyist in town. The problem with Todd is that he's such a pleaser and won't know how to say No to his patrons, to whom he now owes so much.— October 31, 2008 11:51 a.m.
Trash Talking: Allied Seeks to Expand Sycamore Landfill
Perhaps, Matt, instead of just reviewing the donations from waste management companies to Gloria's campaign, you might want to look at Housing Commissioner Gloria's votes on contracts between the Housing Commission and those same companies. Then you might want to call Gil Cabrera at the Ethics Commission to see if he has anything to say about Mr. Gloria.— October 24, 2008 9:29 p.m.
Why do People Under Federal Investigation Love Todd Gloria?
And I might add, "Stephen Davis", that on Sept. 9th at a Hillcrest Town Council candidates' forum, Whitburn said he wished "he were fortunate enough to be from San Diego, but said his background as a journalist covering different cities around the country has afforded him knowledge of the inner workings and contrasting approaches of city government." That was reported in the Reader in an article on the 12th, and you provided a comment on that article. So you can drop the baloney about Whitburn saying he's from San Diego. He's never said that; it's only you saying that. You are also the only person claiming that Whitburn is financing his money from a) trust fund money, or b) mysterious sources, which in your mind can't possibly include his own savings account. Since Todd is pulling down a 6 figure salary working for Susan Davis, and lives with his partner, an attorney, I figure if he wasn't blowing his money on those Armani suits, he, too, could finance his campaign instead of taking all those bundled donations from the BIA and the Chamber of Commerce and the McMillin Company and the Sudberrys and the Baldwins and every Republican player in town. Someday that bill is going to come due, and Todd boy knows how to pay it - just like his mentor and predecessor, Toni Atkins has been paying it - one vote at a time for every infill development project that comes before the Council.— October 22, 2008 9:44 p.m.
Why do People Under Federal Investigation Love Todd Gloria?
Wow, I've never heard Stephen Whitburn say he's "from San Diego." In fact, he will tell you about living in Chicago, Texas and Albany, New York. As far as taking a campaign contribution from an out-of-stater, how does that compare to all the money Todd has taken from the entire Baldwin family of developers who live in Orange County, or the dozens of people who reside in the environs of Wshington, D.C,? Why do those people care who gets elected to our City Council from D3? Just in the last quarter filing statements along, Todd had twenty registered Ciy lobbyists, all with developer clients, donating to his campaign. Whitburn had Marco Gonzalez, the guy who lobbies for Surfrider and Coastkeeper. Todd's lobbyists represent 301 University, Sunroad, Kensington Terrace, Our Lady of Peace, Sudberry, McMillin, you name it.... There is no comparison. Todd gets his money from developers; Whitburn got his by earning it and by being frugal, living in a one bedroom rented apartment and driving an old car. And Todd heard Stephen say publicly that he saved that moeny for a time when he wanted to do something important. So either come up with some real facts that counter that false accustation, or shut up.— October 22, 2008 3:31 p.m.
The Mike Aguirre Show
Surely you're joking. Stephen Whitburn actually went down to the Council chambers and testifed in front of the HRB in opposition to the Mayor's proposed changes to the Mills Act, while Todd Gloria used the same opportunity to glad hand people waiting to be heard. Whitburn also is a member of the North Park Planning Committee that wrote a letter to the Mayor and City Council opposing the proposed changes to the Mills Act. He is a champion of the Neighborhood Bill of Rights. He supported the Interim Height Ordinance and opposed 301 University. Meanwhile, Todd is taking money from every developer and lobbyist in town, including the Sudberrys and the entire Baldwin family from Orange County. And I guarantee that they don't have preservation on their minds.— October 4, 2008 9:33 p.m.
It’s Hysterical, not Historical…
“Every time a light went out, a pigeon gave their life” - sounds like some sort of pagan cult ritual going on out there in Kensington. I think The Reader needs to dig deeper!— August 15, 2008 12:48 p.m.
