County unemployment rate keeps falling
I would think at least some portion of workers in the hospitatlity industry would lose their jobs due to decreased occupancy if the TOT is increased from 12.5% to 16.5%. But If an increased TOT pays for infrastructure improvements then I think there will likely be some decent long-term jobs associated with the infrastructure improvements. If an increased TOT pays for a new Chargers stadium I think will be a short-term burst in construction work and perhaps a few jobs selling concessions on 10 Sunday afternoons per year. Oh - I almost forgot - every 7-10 years or so (my guess) we'd have a Super Bowl which will provide a couple weeks worth of short term low income jobs.— May 23, 2016 12:56 p.m.
Phil Mickelson faces gambling-related charges
I think a lot of the radio hosts will pretty much push anything they're paid to push. I can't say KOGO hosts have had a great track record in terms of promoting reputable products.— May 21, 2016 2:57 a.m.
Phil Mickelson faces gambling-related charges
I looked it up - he was in commericals for some kind of arthritis med called enbrel.— May 20, 2016 3:58 p.m.
Phil Mickelson faces gambling-related charges
I seem to remember him being in a lot of TV ads for some dubious-sounding pain killer but I can't remember the details.— May 20, 2016 3:47 p.m.
Bank bailout fallout continues
I think the "revolving door" between private sector and public sector is a big problem. Right now I think it would be a difficult decision for any really talented financial investigators or attorneys to decide to stay for a long time working at an SEC career. When a highly talented SEC attorney or accountant struggling to make ends meet on a sub-200k salary while working in Manhattan sees his/her peers in the private sector making high 6 figure salaries or more then eventually they will likely leave the SEC for the private sector. Perhaps the SEC should have the ability to offer more competitive compensation to talented investigators and attorneys - and combine that with some restrictions on switching back and forth. Perhaps if the SEC could offer combinations of pay / benefits in the high 6 figures combined with agreements to not switch back to private sector for several years they could get some of the most talented financial and legal minds to stay on the public side more.— May 10, 2016 6:46 a.m.
Public Utilities Commission reopens San Onofre case
Thank you to Mike Aguirre and Don for fighting to expose the truth. Glad to see some progress has been made in your fight.— May 10, 2016 6:23 a.m.
A big "NO" to pro basketball in Seattle
Maybe Seattle figured having taxpayers fund facilities for the Seahawks, Mariners, and Sounders was enough.— May 9, 2016 7:31 a.m.
Aguirre sues governor over records
To me it would seem more obvious for the Justice department to investigate clear-cut cases of wrong-doing than to investigate a controversial case like whatever is going on with NC bathrooms. But maybe the NC transgender bathroom issues make bigger headlines and offer a better opportunity for someone to make a name for themselves. I don't know. Maybe Brown and Peevey have a lot of friends at the federal level.— May 8, 2016 9:27 p.m.
Aguirre sues governor over records
Thank goodness for Aguirre - at least one brave soul is trying to shine a light on deception. Since there is strong evidence that the deception rises to the level of the governor's office, there should be federal investigations. But based on how long it's taken the US government to get involved in the Flint water case I wonder if the feds don't like to get involved in local utility issues if they can possibly avoid it.— May 7, 2016 7:49 a.m.
Prison was good for him, says ex-Chargers QB Ryan Leaf
If I remember right Cosell supposedly vomitted during halftime of a Monday Night Football game but still managed to be just coherent enough to work through it.— May 6, 2016 7:55 p.m.
