This Crisis Is New? The City Confessed Six Years Ago
I don't know... with the proper motivation, the taxpayers may pass it By JustWondering =============== When pigs fly.— August 1, 2010 12:26 p.m.
This Crisis Is New? The City Confessed Six Years Ago
I wont even allow Subway Sandwiches to heat up my bread anymore because any food heated gets taxed, so a $5 Sub grows to $5.50 if you get the bread toasted. That is how silly and out of control the sales tax is today. Cannot even have your bread toasted without getting hit with a 10% sales tax hit. 10% is a big chunk of tax. Pathetic.— August 1, 2010 12:25 p.m.
This Crisis Is New? The City Confessed Six Years Ago
Any sales tax increase will only drive down the city's sales tax revenue, not increase it. City residents will make their purchases outside the city in order to avoid the sales tax increase. ... Many will also increase their internet purchases which will further erode city sales tax revenue ==================== With the sales tax basically at close to 10%, or above, in most CA. jurisidctions today (65% increase over just 20 years ago) I make almost ALL of my purchases online. I buy out of state, pay no sales tax and usually receive a better price AFTER the shipping costs are added in. I am not going to pay a 10% sales tax. Anywhere.— August 1, 2010 12:22 p.m.
In San Diego, Sherrod Says She'll Sue Breitbart
Sue him for what? Truth is an absolute defense to libel and there was nothing untruthful about what he posted. Context is in the mind of the beholder, otherwise coverage of a city council meeting would mean just reprinting verbatim the minutes of the meeting. ============== Go back and read post #15, even striking the defamation action, read actions 2-5, that covers everything the perp did. And if you think she does not have a case on those issues then you need to go back to law school and retake "Torts I".— August 1, 2010 12:17 p.m.
Did Somebody Change the Charter?
I challenge any "historic and research types" to say that would not be much better for all San Diegans... ============= Founder has a good point, does the cost/benefit ratio of a new library make for a decent trade off??? Founder says no, and I think I agree with him.— July 31, 2010 9:16 p.m.
This Crisis Is New? The City Confessed Six Years Ago
Hey, SurfPup, you can take the day off, I just posted your response, masquerading as my own. ============== LOL^^^^^.........the sales tax is DOA.— July 31, 2010 4:16 p.m.
Kerry Steigerwalt of Pacific Law Center says he was the “fall guy”
The courts clarified on Second Degree murder having to do with DUI below. "One who willfully consumes alcoholic beverages to the point of intoxication, knowing that he must operate a motor vehicle, thereby combining sharply impaired physical and mental facilities with a vehicle capable of great force and speed, reasonably may be held to exhibit a conscious disregard of the safety of others." People v. Watson, 30 Cal. 3d 290 (1981) ============== That is a good case-and Rose Birds dissent is interesting (who would have guessed!!!!). But you left out the paragraph that follows; "We do not suggest that the foregoing facts conclusively demonstrate implied malice, or that the evidence necessarily is sufficient to convict defendant of second degree murder. On the contrary, it may be difficult for the prosecution to carry its burden of establishing implied malice to the moral certainty necessary for a conviction. Moreover, we neither contemplate nor encourage the routine charging of second degree murder in vehicular homicide cases" And in this case the defendant was driving down residential streets at 80 MPH running red lights-that is not going to be the case in most DUI vehichular deaths. But I agree, with most others, the sentences for DUI resulting in death are wat too light.— July 31, 2010 3:14 p.m.
Kerry Steigerwalt of Pacific Law Center says he was the “fall guy”
To me EVEN without a prior conviction, this shows " dangerous conduct AND the offender's obvious lack of concern for human life." 2 people dead. By kw ================= You will get no argument from me, I agree. If you drive DUI and kill someone then you need to do serious time............— July 31, 2010 2:46 p.m.

Cruel World for Kitty
I hope this loser has to spend some time in county, and gets kicked out of the Marines. He is a coward who has no place in the Marines or society.— July 30, 2010 2:04 p.m.
