Chargers’ PR is a grating insult
I have a hard time making sense of the Chargers' recent actions. If they have a good offer from Kroenke in LA, then why wouldn't they just move to LA? If they don't have a good offer from Kroenke in LA, then wouldn't they want to make a reasonable compromise (well at least reasonable with those who agree to some public support of NFL teams) with the city / county of SD? The Chargers might have a reasonable shot at getting a 50% election to pass (which Falconer / Roberts MV proposal would require). But getting a 66.67% election to pass (which the Briggs / Frye proposal likely requires) seems like a real long shot. It seems to me the Chargers are just wasting a lot of people's time and resources right now (including their own). They don't seem serious about wanting to move to LA with Kroenke but they don't seem serious about wanting to stay in SD either. Are the Chargers crazy, stupid, or do they know something we don't know? Are they stalling for time in the hope that a buyer may emerge? Or do they still need financing and they are stalling until they can get some agreement for that? Are they stalling in order to lessen the Raiders' chances of moving to Southern Cal? Something doesn't make sense to me.— March 3, 2016 9:24 a.m.

There are a great number of Chargers fans in San Diego and a lot of local fan support - far more support than they will get in LA.— March 3, 2016 9:08 a.m.

I'm with Don. I don't want to lose either the Chargers or ComicCon. But I think it's wrong for taxpayers to subsidize businesses which already have enormous revenue streams.— March 3, 2016 7:48 a.m.
Chargers’ PR is a grating insult
"The Chargers are more than likely going to propose building the stadium 100% private along with being responsible for maintenance and operation." That's great news!! Since the stadium will be 100% privately financed, clearly we don't need any tax increase then. Frye, Briggs, etc should just go ahead and cancel their TOT tax increase initiative.— March 2, 2016 6:13 p.m.

I've heard reports (1360 AM) that days before the downtown plan was announced, the Chargers asked for another $200M in taxpayer welfare for the Mission Valley plan ($350M -> $550M). Apparently Faulconer said no to the $550M number.— March 2, 2016 12:15 p.m.
Heinous youth
As an adult I would say such a heinous crime deserves LWOP or worse. But if it were up to me I might grant a 2nd chance for someone who was sentenced as juvenile after 20+ years behind bars IF the person has shown all indications of willingness and ability to change him(her)self. People can change from their teenage or young adult personalities. It's much more difficult to change at a later age - thus for an adult who committed this crime I would personally want to see LWOP or worse as a sentence. Just my opinion.— March 1, 2016 3:25 p.m.
Bad, bad teacher sentenced
Is this enough for him to be fired from his job - or is the teachers union fighting that?— March 1, 2016 3:20 p.m.
Chargers redeclare wish for downtown stadium
Thanks Don. So basically Briggs has cleverly worded the initiative in a way that he and Frye believe will not require a 2/3 vote. Whether or not that will fly remains to be seen. Sounds like this initiative may help keep some law schools in business as there will certainly be a lot of legal work sorting this out which will require a lot of lawyers.— February 25, 2016 3:38 p.m.
Chargers redeclare wish for downtown stadium
I'm not completely clear on the voting requirements for tax increases. Does it require a 2/3 vote to increase the transient occupancy tax (TOT) or not? If I understand the statements correctly, Mayor Falconer says yes it requires a 2/3 vote, Donna Frye says no it doesn't require a 2/3 vote.— February 25, 2016 6:53 a.m.

Maybe add Cory Briggs and call it the Eight Thieves?— February 24, 2016 10:18 a.m.
