San Diego City Council chiefs of staff
No wonder councilmembers claim they are underpaid. Their chief of staffs "earn" more than they do!— September 2, 2009 7:40 p.m.
John Moores sinks Padres pay to number 29 of 30 teams

John Moores sinks Padres pay to number 29 of 30 teams
Mark Fabiani continues to blame Mike Aguirre, though not as strenuously as he used to, for the reason the Chargers do not have a new stadium. At this point, I don't imagine they could build at the Qualcomm site even if development partners were available because of the gas plume under the parking lot.— August 28, 2009 11:21 p.m.
John Moores sinks Padres pay to number 29 of 30 teams
Response to #104: The Chargers had their chance early this decade when they could have had the 60 acres at the Qualcomm site for $1 miilion/acre, but they wanted the city to give it to them (similar to the Padres agreement downtown)--surprisingly the city said no. They could have built their $425 million (that is what the Chargers said it would cost at the beginning) stadium, and whatever else they had planned to build. Instead, it became Mike Aguirre's fault that the Chargers didn't get their stadium. Now, they claim to be looking for a place to build their $1 BILLION stadium in CV or Oceanside or in the bay or wherever they plan to build it. By the way, if the Chargers stadium is now supposed to cost $1 billion, how can the new library downtown still cost the same as it was originally planned ($185 million, give or take)?— August 28, 2009 8:41 p.m.
Bruce Henderson: no room for a Chargers stadium downtown
Response to #48: Fred, I am very familiar with Brian Peterson and the work he is doing with GAG. He is also familiar with my cat at his veterinary practice in Grantville. I was just curious how Mr Bauder felt the current situation was going. It appears his comments show that the city is once again (shockingly) in the developers pockets on this one. I have already donated to GAG, and everyone living in the Grantville/Allied Gardens area; for that matter, the surrounding areas as well, need to contribute what they can to GAG. I have contacted Marti Emerald before on this issue; looks like we had all better do the same, to see once and for all which side of the fence she is on for this issue.— July 16, 2009 5:49 p.m.
Bruce Henderson: no room for a Chargers stadium downtown
Response to #6: Mr Bauder, as an individual who lives in the Grantville Redevelopment area, what can we do to stop this? I know GAG is working as hard as they possibly can to stop this, but has this thing already gone too far? Why doesn't the city council get the fact that the majority of the PEOPLE in the Grantville area DO NOT WANT THIS???!!!— July 15, 2009 11:07 p.m.
Bruce Henderson: no room for a Chargers stadium downtown
Response to post #40: LOL...that's assuming the city could afford to put any books in the library, or have anyone available to staff it.— July 14, 2009 10:19 p.m.
Bruce Henderson: no room for a Chargers stadium downtown
Mr. Bauder, you mention a stadium, a school, a library, and a convention center expansion. I believe you forgot something; a new arena. You could probably put them all together, you know, to save space downtown. It could be a big pyramid, with the convention center expansion on the bottom, then a new football stadium, then the new arena, then the library, topped off by the cherry, the school on top! It would reach to the sky, like a big middle finger to the citizens of San Diego by developers. Regarding the library; would it be named after John Moores? And do people (developers) really expect us to believe that the cost of the Taj Mahal, er, library has not risen from the $185 mil because of the recession? The Chargers stadium proposal went from $425 mil to over $1 billion--how can the library still cost the same? Just make it all go away...— July 14, 2009 7:39 p.m.
