Pinpoint Forecasting, San Diego Style
And, apparently, the voters will also decide if they will support a convention center expansion and a $700 million (approx.) subsidy to the Chargers. Best, Don Bauder ============= If the voters ever again approve ANY moeny for another pro sports franchise, much less $700 M, I am moving to Yuma.— August 18, 2010 4:17 p.m.
Pinpoint Forecasting, San Diego Style
Coupling a sales tax increase that hits the lower income groups hardest ... ===================== ...While enriching the City employees who are paid far better than the private sector for similar jobs. No, it is not right, and yes, it is a regressive tax that kills the poor and middle class. Yet the sales tax rises on a regular basis yet we see no improvment in services. The sales tax was just 6.5% less than 21 years ago. As for the residents wanting "services" as JW puts it-yes, we need services-that is not the question. The question is what is a fair price to pay for those servies. And when you have rank and file cops and FFs, who account for over 60% of the budget, being comped in the $150K-$200K + range with OT (which is 4 times the state median) then I think we need to pay a wage that is more market/reality based, and not destroying the poor or the middle class with sales tax increases.— August 18, 2010 4:15 p.m.

Irate Judge Now Feels Lerach's Sentence Was Too Lenient
On the other hand, I believe our legal system is better than that in Saudi Arabia. ============ Saudi Arabia does not have a legal system, it is a totalitarian dictatorship. And I can GUARANTEE you that if you're from the royal family and you're caught shop lifting you're not getting your hand cut off. Thats the thing about punishment that is out of line with the criminal act-it never applies to the wealthy or connected-just the poor. If anyone wants to read a funny case along these lines it is Oklahoma v Skinner.— August 18, 2010 8:49 a.m.
Permit an insolvent city to subsidize a Charger stadium?
I have noticed the absence of Fumber; that person is bizarre. ========== The thing about Fumbler is he would leave for months at a time and then appear with his wild comments, then be gone as fast as he was here. I always thought he was a guy that would land in county jail for a few weeks/months at a time and that was the reason. Pure speculation, but it made sense to me. . . . What are sock puppets ? ================= Oh Parker, what are we going to do with you. A "sock puppet" is the infamous "gimmick" account, a second (or third, or fourth, or fifth) account to use as a back up to the main account. You can post under the sock puppet, on the sly, to bolster and vouch for your own posts-sort of like slapping yourself on your own back. Or in the case of Cuddles, who was banned for some stoopid reason, she could use the sock puppet instead of her banned Cuddles account. Most people don't use sock puppets, but there are always a few wannabes who do-and one of the Admins on here has confirmed that there are in fact a few here using sock puppet accounts (posting under multiple accounts from the same ISP address).— August 17, 2010 4:23 p.m.
Pinpoint Forecasting, San Diego Style
the total projected savings to the City could range from $3.5 million to $428 million over the next five years, and $8.7 million to $855 million over the next ten years," says the document submitted on Aug. 16. That is one heckuva range for a forecast -- and $8.7 million to $855 million. Then get this: the document later boasts, "other conditions such as managed competition, outsourcing, and benefit reductions could save taxpayers an additional $626,000 to $43 million." That's a Grand Canyon-size gap. It's reminiscent of the story of the economist who is visiting the Grand Canyon ========================== LOL.....this is hilarious-and if it was NOT so serious of an issue I would laugh myself to bed. $3.5 million to $428 million = A FACTOR OF 12,228% 8.7 million to $855 million = A FACTOR OF = 9,800% $626,000 to $43 million = A FACTOR OF 6,800% If anyone votes for this after this clown forecast they deserve he pension tax hike. I am confident the pension tax is DOA.— August 17, 2010 4:10 p.m.
