Nathan, hot dog

Twice-defeated San Diego mayoral candidate Nathan Fletcher has taken to the news and opinion website financed by his political godfather — La Jolla billionaire Democrat Irwin Jacobs — to castigate the county board of supervisors for voting themselves a handsome pay and benefits increase.

“Supervisors have received higher raises over the last eight years than the county employees who serve the public,” proclaimed the Republican-turned-independent-turned-Democrat who many expect to seek the supervisorial seat of termed-out Republican Ron Roberts next year.

The Voice of San Diego described Fletcher as “a Marine Corps combat veteran and former member of the California Assembly who currently serves as a professor of practice in political science at the University of California, San Diego,” leaving out the part about his controversial executive position at Jacobs-founded Qualcomm, currently described on Fletcher’s LinkedIn page as handling “global strategies initiatives.”
