Moving targets

The controversial possibility of installing new electronic billboards downtown continues to be a lucrative affair for GOP lobbyist Paul Robinson. According to his latest financial disclosure report of July 11, he got $5000 from Capitol Outdoor to lobby 11 city officials about the matter, including city councilman David Alvarez and Allen Jones of the mayor’s office. By coincidence, Alvarez has called for the resignation of fellow Democrat Bob Filner as mayor, and Jones recently quit Filner’s employ during the alleged sexual harassment scandal.
