Negotiating with Labor Negotiators
“We all know that labor negotiations this year will be extremely critical. I will tell you the quality of the negotiator and the council can make or break it and I think it’s smart to give ourselves every chance for success. Municipal labor negotiations require very specialized and technical expertise, that aren’t possessed except for a few people around the country.” ================================== Somehow I know Goldsmith is going to make McGrory and his scams look like Einstein.— December 7, 2008 6:28 p.m.

Response to post #32: Actually, some strategically-placed pay toilets might net the City a lot of money -- say, placed above the photos of local pols. Best, Don Bauder ==================================== LOL!...some people may think above the local politicians HEADS would be a better location for pay toilets.— December 7, 2008 5:35 p.m.
Aguirre Sums Up Criminal Activity That Led to Pension Deficit
JF, the couts opinion of Mike and his pension lawsuit is NOT different because there is NO opinion, not until a FINAL order has been entered-something you and the rest oif your buddies in government always seem to convieniently leave out.— December 7, 2008 5:25 p.m.
Several Big U.S. Cities Could Be without Daily Newspapers by 2010, Says Rating Agency
Sam Zell totally F'ed up the LA Times and the shoe has dropped, (can the UT be far behind ????); Tribune is preparing for bankruptcy filing From Reuters Tribune is preparing for bankruptcy filing From Reuters Publisher and broadcaster Tribune Co. is preparing for a possible bankruptcy-protection filing as soon as this week, The Wall Street Journal reported on its website today, citing people familiar with the matter. The paper said Tribune has been on wobbly footing since last December, when real-estate mogul Sam Zell led a debt-backed deal to take the company private. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-tribune8-20…— December 7, 2008 5:21 p.m.
Downtown San Diego condos – kinda like roller coasters
USD has always been about excellent grades, scholarships and ethics. Rich kids get expelled. By nofears ================================= nofears, USD expells no one. USD is simply a trust funder univerity who gives every advantage to their rich pampered students. I personally had a trust funder friend at USD who would have not lasted 2 semesters at San Diego State-but because he was at USD he was allowed to withdraw from classes on virtually the last day of class-which he did repeatedly because he was failing and would have received an F. This went on for 8 years. He withdrew from 1 specific class he needed to graduate on 9 different occassions. BTW-this clown finally graduated with this extra ordinary private university flexibility-which you would never in a million years find at a public university. Dont tell me USD is the meritocrocy of education you make it out to be. It's not.— December 7, 2008 3:19 p.m.

Anyone know where to get a job in San Diego for 300k? And we don't even have topless beaches with Model girls. By stevewag23 ================================= Only place to get a $300K per year job in San Diego is with the government-and that would include the benefits.— December 7, 2008 3:13 p.m.

Harbor Police, Reader Hoarding, and Animals with People Names
Harbor Police is very mismanaged. I doubt they hire "washouts", but I know they do not hire the best they could because they limit their application process to the first 500 who arrive the day /applications/testing opens-very stupid.— December 7, 2008 2:54 p.m.
Andrea Tevlin, San Diego's budget analyst, too busy to talk
The property tax take went up just as fast on those properties that changed hands then. Yet, the city, county and state, all of which had a stake in property taxes as a source of funds, were finding it progressively harder to close budget "gaps." What would have happened had they not had that burgeoning tax take coming in? ============================= What would have happened?????...... for one there would not have been any retroactive (and illegal) pension spiking. When tax revenue is going up in double digits year after year after year and you still cannot balance a budget- you have a SPENDING problem, not a revenue problem.— December 7, 2008 2:48 p.m.

Next the city will take out all public restrooms at the beaches, parks, and bays too. By JulieParrots ==================================== No, they will just start charging a "fee" for their use, because us taxpayers want services but don't "want to pay for them" as JF would say!— December 7, 2008 2:45 p.m.
