Escondido City Councilmembers Excoriated as Ballpark Idea Entertained

Yakima: Here's a fact that most have either forgotten or didn't know in the first place: The RDA owes the city's General Fund $30 Million dollars. If our council was truly interested in balancing our city's budget and bringing Escondido back to its former reputation, then the RDA should repay the money. Strangely, Gil Rojas, the city's finance director, has stated that the city has $25 Million in reserves from the refinancing of the Center for the Arts bonds. Why not use that to either pay off the debt or pay back the city?
