SD Unemployment Rises to 10.3%
We need many more "Made in San Diego" jobs... If folks are looking for ideas for things to produce, let me know! Every time I try and talk to some one about a new "product" they never seem very interested...— March 7, 2011 6:14 p.m.
SD Unemployment Rises to 10.3%
I still stand by my much earlier comments that we will be above 12+% and most of these "numbers" are tweaked to be seen in a positive way, to hide our current reality from the masses for any number of reasons... If we could somehow differentiate between low paying jobs and meaningful good paying jobs then I bet the numbers would be amazing: Then it might be: SD Unemployment (for good paying jobs) Rises to 39.3%— March 7, 2011 10:51 a.m.

"Creative writing is just that, both creative and reflective, often inviting criticism about a controversy- Has everyone forgotten that this column is titled, "A Diary of a Diva?" Diva being the operative word here, meaning that it is written in the form of a "Prima Dona"... You go Barbarella— March 7, 2011 10:14 a.m.

City's Latest Attempt to Thwart Kessler Suit Fails
Wake up to the Graft, Corruption and Back Door Dealings rampant in SD... Every day Kessler is kept in Court, is a MAJOR WIN for $anders's image! --> The City will continue to appeal until $anders is out of Office... Is he concerned with any potential settlement; I bet it never crosses his mind since he will not be paying the bill! BTW: He has more lucrative matters on his plate like which Company to award which Contract to, as he sells off San Diego with his "Privatization" scheme!— March 4, 2011 7:50 a.m.
CCDC Cancels Propaganda Tour
Anyone seen this "release"? Please Distribute! This coming Monday, February 28th, the City Council will be hearing an item Mayor Jerry Sanders docketed for City Council consideration which includes a list of projects we’re seeking to protect for San Diego if the short-sighted proposal to eliminate redevelopment succeeds. Please join the Mayor in support and speak on behalf of: Item 601 – Cooperation Agreement for Payment of Costs Associated with Certain Redevelopment Agency Funded Projects Monday, February 28, 2011, at 9:00 a.m. City Administration Building Council Chambers – 12th Floor 202 “C” Street San Diego, CA 92101 The projects we’re seeking to protect represent the very essence of redevelopment, which for the past 60 years in San Diego has been working to transform economically depressed older neighborhoods throughout the city into places where families and businesses can thrive, providing jobs to our citizens and additional revenue to our general fund. This includes: · $1 billion to improve decaying or inadequate public infrastructure, such as replacing broken or missing sidewalks; re-aligning poorly planned streets; installing streetlights; and removing toxic waste from abandoned lots to make them viable for private investment. · $340 million to build or improve parks and libraries – the hallmark of good neighborhoods and strong communities. · $88 million to build 4 new fire stations, helping to address the thin fire and emergency medical coverage in San Diego. · And importantly, the list of planned projects we’re seeking to protect includes more than $1.7 billion to increase San Diego’s affordable housing supply, so that more low-income families have an opportunity to live in stable housing. The effort to eliminate redevelopment as freeing money for cities’ general funds is a fallacy. What it really does is steal money to fill the perennial Sacramento budget gap, once again allowing them to avoid real reform and forcing the City’s General Fund to take on the full burden of decaying public infrastructure while diverting the resources needed to deal with it. Please feel free to contact your fellow colleagues and members and invite them to show support and speak on behalf of this item. If you have any questions, please feel free contact me at your convenience. The Mayor looks forward to seeing you there. Sincerely, Stephen Lew ______________________________________ Stephen Lew Director of Community Outreach l Office of Mayor Jerry Sanders [email protected] l 619.236.6330 l 202 C Street, 11th Floor, 92101— February 27, 2011 9:42 a.m.
