Escondido City Council Votes to Lease Former Police Headquarters
On November 17, the Escondido City Council unanimously agreed to lease its old police department building on Grand Avenue to the San Diego North Economic Development Council. The rent? One dollar per year for up to five years. Charles Grimm of the city manager’s office explained that the economic council would lease relatively small offices to new start-up companies at a low price. ================ So let me get this right, Escondido literally gives away valuable office space for FREE to a connected firm, so that the connected firm can then rent the same space out for a big profit. Only in gov.......— November 20, 2010 5:22 p.m.
San Diegan Who Spearheaded Tax Avoidance Schemes for Dentists and Doctors Indicted on Tax Charges
"Pyramidal Funding Systems"? Are you kidding me? I'm sure that didn't set off any red flags at the IRS! ============ Now that IS funny!!!!— November 20, 2010 3:01 p.m.
Chatfield Admits Hiding Money through Swiss Bank
At one time the total reached $2.5 million. ============= $2.5 million is a little fish, the opnes with $10 million plus are who the gov should be targeting hard...make an example out of them.— November 20, 2010 6:49 a.m.
Nov. 2 Memo Doesn't Mention Computer Glitch
People are still nowhere near angry enough. Best, Don Bauder ============================ That can change in a heartbeat. A perfect example is the Rodney King riots, got out of control after a few hours and went on for 4 or 5 DAYS, with what, 50 deaths and billions in property damage???— November 20, 2010 6:41 a.m.
Suit Filed Against Midnight Backroom Deal
and there was no official finding of blight. (The no-blight finding is also made in the Aguirre suit.) ======================== The term "blight" should be removed from government redevelopment authority. It has become a flat out J-O-K-E. Blight can be a 5 star Ritz hotel today. It is a vague, ambiguous and overly broad term that can fit anything the government, or it's redevelopment department wants it to be. I am so grateful for a guy like Mike Aguirre. He steps up to the plate-not matter what the odds-and takes a swing. No one else will even step up to the plate, much less take a few swings at the curve balls these elected officials throw at the poor and middle class.— November 20, 2010 6:21 a.m.
Mortgage Mess Could Hit Banks, Housing
That compared to a 53 percent disqualification rate through September. Homeowners say the banks lose their documents and then claim borrowers didn't send back the paperwork. Of course, they sent it back. Who wouldn't send back the paperwork that would save their house from foreclosure? ============ I have said it many times, they should have tossed all those Bank execs in the slammer. They wiped out our economy and almost caused a global meltdown. And the mortgage fix program is just more of the same. I would have sent the CEO's to the slammer for 25+ years, ala Jeffrey Skilling, CEO of Enron fame. Make a flaming sign post out of those losers for all to see, so no one goes that route again.— November 19, 2010 9:29 p.m.
Where Did the Save-A-Life Money Go?
If Carl is not taking a pension then Right On for him, as long as he does not pull a Sanders and take it when re-elected =============== Exactly, and it seems that they say one thing to get elected and then don't follow thru, like with Sanders and the Mayor pension. The back room stadium deal killed whatever small amount of credibility Sanders had left. he is going down. He won't get anything else accomplished for the remainder fo his Mayor term. Sanders is to San Diego what Arnold was to CA.-a failure.— November 19, 2010 1:54 p.m.
good thing she's not using a shipping tube
Good thing she's not using a shipping tube... ================ That should have been the CAPTION!!!!!!— November 19, 2010 1:45 p.m.
New San Diego City Ordinance to Lockout Big-Box Stores
Why is the mayor threatening to veto this ordinance? I would be willing to bet it's because of additional tax revenue to help offset the city's budget woes =============== You nailed it-SALES TAX! They will give away billions in property tax rebates in order to get a few million in sales tax.— November 19, 2010 1:21 p.m.
Believe the Grand Jury. Do NOT Believe the Mayor's Office
DPC and lack of real leadership. The latter being San Diego's real problem since 2005. =========================== The lack of leadership starts with Golding.— November 19, 2010 12:54 p.m.
