Blackwater Sues City, Claims Its Bid for Border Facility Thwarted by Politics
The question is will BW's use (indoor range) conform with what is allowed. It appears it does on the face of the facts, but there is some room for debate. I cannot stand BW, but I think the City may have over reached in this case, and it is a slippery slope if we start making up excuses for valid permitted uses. It will never stay in federal court, why they filed there might be because they feel local judges will not give them a fair shake; but there are no federal issues, these are land use issues. Purely local/state issues.— May 27, 2008 8:22 p.m.
San Diego Housing Prices Plunge 20.5 Percent in Last Year, 25.9 Percent from 2005 Peak
I stated a 30%-35% decline in home prices from the peak in 05/06....and I am right on target. I also think this downturn will stay here until 2011 before we see a turn around.— May 27, 2008 12:29 p.m.
Ignoring Phony Accounting, Peters Tells NY Times That San Diego's Pension System Is In Good Shape
I disagree with about 75% of the UTs picks.... Carl Demaio in D3-yes-agree there. April Boling-I might regret this but I am going with Marti (Marti-no FF or PD raises!). O-Side school bond-NO. It kills me how we are already spending 60% of the general fund money on education thru prop 98, but every year there is over 1 billion in LOCAL bond measures. Every single year.— May 26, 2008 5:24 p.m.
Ignoring Phony Accounting, Peters Tells NY Times That San Diego's Pension System Is In Good Shape
HellcatCopley is on the money. I do not think the UT, and their constant attack pieces, are going to affect the outcome of the election in any manner whatsoever. The truth will come June 3, if Mike wins then it is a day of truth, the cat will be out of the bag and it will be clear as day; the UT will have been proven that they don't have the juice they used to. June 3, the moment of truth for San Diego.— May 26, 2008 7:59 a.m.
AG Jerry Brown Claims He Didn't Know San Diego Has an Upcoming Election. Is Brown Staggeringly Stupid or Does He Think San Diegans Are Staggeringly Stupid?
In spite of the attacks on Mike Aguirre, you and the Union Tribune will be shocked to see how intelligent the people of San Diego are. ============================================= That's right, the majority of the people are onto the scams. They are OVER. BOOM!— May 25, 2008 6:46 p.m.
Ignoring Phony Accounting, Peters Tells NY Times That San Diego's Pension System Is In Good Shape
Peters is getting his pink slip in less than 10 days. He is not going to be elected CityAttorney-he is not going to make a run off either. He is DONE. So is Sanders and Maienschein. I was just going thru the comments section on the UT who has another anti Aguirre article running. There are at least 25 posters who are onto the pension scam-and the same 3 or 4 City employees who make the same stupid arguments Peters made in the NY Times(a 6/7 to 1 ratio against the pension scam). I am telling you right now-the vast majority of the citizens are onto the scam, they will not be "had" again. Mark my words........ PS, it brings a tear to my eye when I am quoted by the welfare queens with such disdain; " Also UT, will you please post the IP address when post occur here. It would be interesting to see how many times Mr Aguirre and his staff use tax payers time and resources to post here (BBH, La Playa and Johnny are you there?)."— May 25, 2008 6:43 p.m.
Herbal Life's pyramid scheme
Ahhhhh...Successful_in_MLM is a usana sucker, the cat is out of he bag. While it is true if YOU make YOUR money from YOUR sales then you are indeed not an MLM, but face facts, you don't make YOUR living from YOUR sales-you try to do it off the sales of OTHERS. That is the classic MLM/pyramid scam. Sorry Successful_in_MLM, but you cannot win here-truth is power-and when the turth hits you in the face your only option is to get KO'd.— May 25, 2008 8:41 a.m.
