City grabs Park and Rec funds
Hmmm. When we here in Mira Mesa speak with the Park and Recreation Department top brass, we are told that this was all initiated by the City Attorney. The City Attorney points to Park and Rec as the initiator. My bet--it's neither. I smell the MEA at work. In any case though, this is dead wrong. The Recreation Councils in San Diego have been taking excellent care of their respective communities for many years. No one who has ever had anything to do the the City--any big city for that matter--can possibly think that under the changes being sought, the citizens of San Diego will derive greater benefit from their recreational facilities. So why "fix" this? The only benefit I can see is about a half million dollars of additional work for City employees. Of course none of us, save for a few union members, would consider this a benefit.— October 15, 2017 10:35 a.m.
Brian Bilbray Apologizes to Mira Mesa
Were this reporter and I at the same meeting? Congressman Bilbray did, indeed, apologize for the gross bureaucratic sloth and gross indifference to which the people of Mira Mesa were subjected by federal officials as well as the inept use of false science as an excuse to block a vital school project. But the comment regarding an unanswered question pertained to only a single question which the Congressman proceeded to answer forthwith and not to the totality of the questions that had been asked as the reporter implies. Also, while the report of the question is correct: “Why do you and others vote for bills you haven’t read”—that leaves the reader with the impression that the Congressman voted for the 2,700-page Health Care Bill when, in fact, he voted against it. Perhaps a better question would have been, “Why are you asked to vote on bills so voluminous that you cannot possibly have read them when they come to a vote”. That is actually the question that the Congressman answered.— June 5, 2012 5:34 p.m.
