DeMaio Brings Rochambeau-Style Reforms to City Council
???? You tell me FUmbler- You're the "expert"!— December 14, 2008 9:24 a.m.
Melvyn Weiss, Once Co-Managing Partner of Notorious New York/San Diego Law Firm, Allegedly a Victim of Ponzi Schemer Madoff
Response to post #3: I'm sure he is not practicing law officially, but I'll bet he has something going. Best, Don Bauder By dbauder 8:22 p.m., Dec 13, 2008 ========================================= You're a smart man Don. An interesting aside to your witty comment- Back in the mid 1990's Patrick Frega (yes, the same Patrick Frega that won a multi million dollar legal malpractice lawsuit against settlement mill lawyer Sam Spital, which put Spital out of business and covered by the Reader) had been disbarred and Bill Lerach had hired Frega to perform "paralegal" duties at the San Diego office of Milberg Weiss. Only problem was Frega was in actuality practicing law on his (at that time) suspended law license (now disbarred). Some lawyers at Milberg told Lerach that he was violating the law and legal ethics, for which they were promptly fired.— December 14, 2008 9:16 a.m.

Lerach left Modoc. According to the prisoner locator, he's now wintering in Arizona. http://www.bop.gov/iloc2/LocateInmate.js...

DeMaio Brings Rochambeau-Style Reforms to City Council
The reason San Diego government is such a mess is that nobody (except Donna Frye) and now perhaps Carl De Maio(jury is still out). 1)looks at the facts 2)reads the reports 3)asks the probing questions 4)demands accountability on all pertinent issues, but instead "blindly trusts" ============================== Memo to concernedcitizen77; The reason government is such a smess, and not just San Diego, is because public unions are bribing elected officials with campaign contributions, same goes for Big Business (as in developers), NOT because they do not look at the facts, read reports (OK, there may be some truth to this one), ask probing questions or demand responsibility. They are out for pure greed, along with their "donors", and there is no laying this nonsene off on them being uniformed. Sorry.— December 13, 2008 5:26 p.m.

Lerach is not practicing law from Modoc? ======================== Lerach should never be allowed to practice law again-but the State Bar is full of morons so there is a good chance he will (after he gets out of the joint).— December 13, 2008 5:19 p.m.

DeMaio Brings Rochambeau-Style Reforms to City Council
If Carl De Maio and others put "everything on the table" and not just attack the local scapegoat and bogeyman (labor and employees) then he may have more credibility. ======================== The budget problems are 100% attributed to the scams the 1) public employees are pulling and 2) the developer scams. Between the two they have BKed this city.— December 13, 2008 3:20 p.m.
Goldsmith Continues Cheap Shots on City Website. He Criticizes Predecessor for Politicizing Office, Then Politicizes It Even More
I agree with SanDiegan 100%. I have said it before-those stadium deals could have never gone through the way they did unless someone was pulling strings. A first year, no- make that a first semester, law student in Contracts I could have done a better job than what Casey Gwinn did. The "naming" rights to Petco was 150 million and the Padres got ALL of it. Don't tell me that was not fixed.— December 13, 2008 3:18 p.m.
