Imprudence Not Unconstitutional, Says Appeals Court
Did Golding actually raid the pension fund for the Repub convention???....I can't even remember back that far anymore.........— January 28, 2011 10:30 p.m.

I have appeared before him and he should be removed from the bench IMO-not just him but the other idiot there too-Peter Bowie.— January 28, 2011 10:16 p.m.

But reality is services cost a lot money. ==== Only because we comp gov employees far more than they would ever dream of in the real world. Gov services are grossly cost prohibative for the value they return. You simply cannot pay compensate front line cops and ff's $150K-$200K plus as much as another $120K in overtime, it does not work. And everyone else in gov has great, but not cop/ff great, comp like that.— January 28, 2011 7:13 p.m.

I agree with JW that SD taxes and fees are too low. However, citizens don't want to raise them to keep up the excessive pay and pensions of public employees. === I agree with your comment 100%, if they would raise taxes and put it into the sewer system, the roadways, the parks, the beaches (have you seen the sea wall at Mission Beach??? falling apart) then I would be the one leading the fight as head cheerleader, but NO ONE is going to get behind ANY tax increases that fund these multi million dollar retire at age 50 gov pensions hwile the city and country and state crumble, that is just not happening. I feel sorry for Brown if he thinks his tax increases in June are going to fly without goc pay, pension and spending reform. He will get the same treatment KFC Sanders did with Prop D.— January 28, 2011 7:09 p.m.

Trash fees, water fees, TOT, business licensing, permits, etc. should all reflect the "market" prices of similarly sized and situated cities, not some kind of backwater Navy town run by Pete Wilson, Copley, and their Republican cronies. =================== And muni/gov jobs should reflect the "market" prices of similarly sized and situated jobs in the private sector-where you do not have 20 y/o, GED educated employees making $200K in total comp like cop and FF do. The same can be said of almost ALL gov jobs where they are comped far more than the same skill set in the real world.— January 28, 2011 7:06 p.m.

Ethics. What one is willing to do when they know they're not being watched? To be clear, Jack McGrory, Susan Golding et. al. cooked the books, obfuscated the truth, and sold the idea of MP1 to the City Council and SDCERS Board. =============== SDCERS is in the same boat as McGrory and Golding, they went along with the scam, and it was a scam. And the membership elected the SDCERS Board-so they are just as complicit in the scam.— January 28, 2011 7:03 p.m.

Oh so you agree trash collections should be free in San Diego === It's not free, we pay property taxes for it, and apartments and businesses do pay trash-it is not a tax problem-it is a pension spending problem.— January 28, 2011 7 p.m.

Yes, I am positive the CA Supreme Court will take both appeals court cases. They know they wont have a pension at all if changes are not made, you cannot be paying the "retired" 50 y/o employees more than the current ones, and that is what is happening.— January 28, 2011 6:28 p.m.
