Will Escondido City Council Swing for the Fences
On Wednesday, December 15, Escondido city councilmembers will debate spending $50 million for a new minor-league baseball stadium just north of downtown Escondido. ================ Please, here, let me fix this opening paragraph; "On Wednesday, December 15, Escondido city councilmembers will debate GIVING AWAY $50 million to a SPECIAL INTEREST for a new minor-league baseball stadium just north of downtown Escondido." Hope this helped :)— December 14, 2010 8:05 a.m.
Loose Dog at the Airport
Now you know! And yes, John Wayne's real name was Marion Morrison. Cary Grant's real name is Archibald! Gregory Pecks real name is Gregory, but it is his middle name, his first name is Eldrid.— December 13, 2010 9:48 p.m.
Dumanis Met with Sanders to Tell Him She Wouldn't Prosecute Li Mandri, Mannino
Good question. Depends on a number of factors. 1) How much was Kessler being comped?? 6 figures probably. 2) Was Kessler able to find a similar job?? 3) How old is Kessler-how many working years does he have left?? Depending on how many working years he had left in his life and if he could not find a new job that had similar comp-then those amounts can be calculated. Next would be if other damages can be added in-like punitive damages. If Sanders et al acted with malice-intentionally tried to harm Kessler (and it sure loosk like it), that could open the door to punitive damages-damages intended to teach the defendant a lesson. It could be multi millions if those factors are present.— December 13, 2010 6:43 p.m.

Yep!!!! I will say "Small Claims Court" is usually a very good place to solve legal disputes, a good solid alternative 95% of the time. Fast, cheap and usually the judges (commissioners) are on the mark. The two things I hate about "Small Claims Court" is that 1) the Plainitff is bound by the decision, cannot appeal-which would be fine if that also applied to the defendant, BUT the defendant gets top APPEAL any loss to the Superior Court for an entirely new trial. That is one big flaw IMO. And 2) in "Small Claims Court" they limit you to $7,500. Used to be $5K a few years ago. That is too low. I would raise it to $25K.— December 13, 2010 6:36 p.m.

If that is indeed the case, then one could make a good case that our City legal system is like a bully, pushing its weight around to threatening all the small fry while staying far away from anyone that might have some clout and or is connected! ============================== You nailed it Founder- a PERFECT description of what our legal system has basically turned into. No average person can afford to engage in our legal system for a legitimate dispute. 85% of ALL people charged with crimes get represented by the public defender. That says the system is broken, or only poor people commit crimes. In fact our entire country (where the wealth now concentrated in the top 1/10 of the top 1%) looks identical to a Banana Republic.— December 13, 2010 4:37 p.m.
Loose Dog at the Airport
Dog must have been an airedale. ================ LOL!!! John Wayne's dog as a kid was an Airedale. His name was "Big Duke". John Wayne's nick name became "Little Duke" because he never went anywhere without his Airedale "Big Duke". When John Wayne grew up and became famous his nick name had evolved into The Duke. True story.— December 13, 2010 12:55 p.m.
Portantino's Criminal Lawyer Talks of DA Investigation, Discussion over Charges
Who would have guessed back in 1983 when Hedgecock got convicted of a felony thaty he would get that felony thrown out (long shot of the century!!) and then make it big as a radio personality?????? Amazing turn of events if you ask me.— December 12, 2010 11:45 p.m.
Loose Dog at the Airport
At 8:00 PM, a pilot was heard asking an air traffic controller "what ever happened to the dog? The reply: "We finally caught that sucker!" ================ Glad the innocent pup was not hurt.— December 12, 2010 9:50 p.m.
