Much Ado

Re: Tijuana Estuary It is alarming to see Brian Collins, as part of U.S. Fish & Wildlife, attack his own public statements as false, especially since he made those SAME statements to at least two other media outlets without launching similar attacks. (Google: 'Brian Collins Tijuana Estuary Sand' to see for yourself.) Perhaps he does not understand that when a ***public***ly paid employee speaks at a ***public*** meeting in a ***public*** setting on the topic of ***public*** land, it is assumed that he is making a public statement. Certainly, reporters do not have to chase down the mayor or the President after they speak in public and ask them to verify what they just said. No one accuses them of a lack of ethics for working from these public statements. Since Collins said those things in a public setting, and since he made identical statements to other media outlets without the subsequent personal attacks on those reporters, one can only wonder if Collins' - and U.S. Fish & Wildlife's - attack is retaliation for our persistent and consistent interest in the Tijuana Estuary and Border Field State Park. (We have recently reported on the estuary's failure to file important environmental information, on decisions to restrict and reduce public access to public land - a complaint made at public meetings by the Tijuana River Valley Equestrian Association and Friends of Friendship Park, and on sewage contamination and sand threats to the estuary.)

Chula Vista’s Dynegy energy plant to be destroyed tomorrow

Dykon is the explosives subcontractor, Silverado is overseeing the whole demolition - demolishing what's left behind. (I think we should put together a list of potential projects and have a weekend Dykon party.) http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/feb/0…

Trial date set for two Border Patrol agents in California

The sheriff's deputies weren't going to do anything until the victim went to the media - that needs to be said again and again. I wonder what Torello's wife thinks about all this?
