Five Oceanside Police Have DUIs?
Most LAPD officers are Mormons, and they don't use alcohol ============= Mormons, LOL...who told you that B??? Most LAPD-like all major metro CA gov agencies- come from the 4 major hiring groups, family, friends, military and lawsuit decrees. In fact the LAPD "revolver club" has a clubhouse at the Academy in Elsian Park, and they would gather there on pay days and drink alcohol. This went on until a year ago or so when one of the cops got plastered and died when he crashed his LAPD mototcycle on the way home. No more drinking at the academy on pay days. The LAPD is known for specific bars where they hang out and get hammered.— September 11, 2010 9:43 p.m.
NY Pension System Underfunded; State Broke
The pension systems boards are stacked with public employees-including our Calpers where 65% of the board seats are held by public employees. They will lie and fabricate until the system collapses and then say " who could have precited that" !!!!!!— September 11, 2010 8:09 p.m.
Five Oceanside Police Have DUIs?
Founder-I don't think that is true any longer b/c of the seriousness of a DUI. I am positive the CHP won't let ANYONE slide on a DUI-cops, judges anyone, their current policy is to book ALL suspected DUI's. I would imagine most large metro agencies are the same, but don't knwo for sure. But smaller muni and county LE is a different story and you're right that they may offer "professional courtesy" in DUI cases. And that is how innocent people end up dead.— September 11, 2010 3:54 p.m.
Spanos Really Wants L.A., Says Yahoo! Sports
Some very mediocre football teams sell out year after year, while some playoff teams like the Chargers have trouble filling the stadium during the regular season. ================== Name some teams with sub 500 records that sell out "year after year". I guess you have not been to Detroit recently-you do know they have not only a brand new football stadium, but a new baseball stadium too-and neither team sells out......... The Chargers have ALWAYS sold out when they had winning teams, the only time they did not was when they had sub-500 records, and went thru coaches like udnerwear (Henning, Saunders, Gilbride, Jones, etc....). Again, the venue is not the key-it is winning, and that coems down to the ownership and management.— September 11, 2010 8:19 a.m.

Then only a few years later the Rams moved to St.Louis and drew sellouts in a brand new dome. Same thing will happen to whatever team moves to LA. ============================= The difference between the Rams and the Cards back then would be like comparing a go-kart to an indy 500 race car. If you look at the Rams recently, with their awful teams, they are not selling out the dome. Selling out has much more to do with the quality of the team than the venue-in fact the venue has little to no effect-witness the Padres.....— September 10, 2010 11:41 p.m.

There are plenty of native born Americans who are willing to pick crops, but not for $11 an hour. They would expect to receive a fair wage for their labor. ================= There are PLENTY of Americans who would do anything legal for $11 an hour....that is a very good wage in this economy where many have been UE for months and years......I have seen law firms advertising for lawyers with minimum wage recently.....— September 10, 2010 11:37 p.m.

Do you think San Diegans will approve public money for a new stadium ================ Approve money from where??? This city is currently bankrupt on a cash flow basis-to think hundreds of millions could be gifted out thru bonds or anything else is just not possible. No one would buy stadium bonds with our financial problems.....— September 10, 2010 11:35 p.m.
Five Oceanside Police Have DUIs?
Continuing, Clayford said there are at least five Oceanside police officers that have current DUIs on their record. ================ If they were hired with DUI's on their record then something is wrong, they were connected in, plain and simple. There is NO excuse for hiring a cop with a SERIOUS misdemeanor on their record, which a DUI is, in fact it is one of the most serious misdemeanor crimes there is IMO. If they received it after hire-then you sit down and give them a stern warning, a second DUi and you're fired. No excuse for DUI's from cops. I do not believe for one second that LAPD, who have 9K+ sworn cops-not 3K- only have 3 with DUI's.— September 10, 2010 11:33 p.m.

The new artwork? Basically, it removed the words "San Diego" from every portion of the graphics. Spanos does not want them here any longer ======================= That was 2-3 years ago?? When Soanos was supposedly working on building/getting a new SD stadium???? Shows that their word means nothing, much like how they broke their word/contract on the Jack Murphy deal. These ball club owners, be it baseball, football- they care about no one except themselves, not the people, not the community-just themselves, greedy good for nothing carpet baggers who are just out to line their pockets with the money from the poor, but loyal, fan base.— September 10, 2010 9:50 p.m.

And there is a ton of money up there. San Diego is paradise where Los Angeles is the armpit of paradise, so to speak. While I run into people with MBA's loading trucks down here because it's all they can find because EVERYONE wants to live in San Diego, I've never seen that sort of competition in Los Angeles. So, it's more of a employee's market up there (I made a lot more money up there than I've ever made in San Diego and it's cheaper to live there). =============== I certainly agree with you on this!— September 10, 2010 9:46 p.m.
