Chief of staff at CPUC resigns
Don: Of course A/C is in the picture. Remember the original convention center configuration--with the upstairs area open on the sides but covered by those sails? (Which are now in need of replacement, but that's another story) Too many people who had conventions that used that open area complained, so the convention center closed in that area, which then meant it had to have A/C. I'm sure the powers that be will claim if they use a retractable roof, they won't need A/C. I will call BS on that, not to mention the fact that even a retractable roof stadium in this climate is a waste of untold millions. Then again, the convention center expansion is a waste of millions as well, considering the glut of convention center space.— September 16, 2014 11:52 a.m.
Chief of staff at CPUC resigns
Don: With the heat the way it was on Sunday, I am surprised no one has popped up again to tout the "benefits" of a combo convention center/stadium (with A/C, of course).— September 16, 2014 9:23 a.m.
Chief of staff at CPUC resigns
Lol--Stop it.— September 16, 2014 9:21 a.m.
Not a lie: minimum-wage ordinance is law
Originally, it was supposed to be voted on by the electorate. Yet the city council changed their minds (perhaps by some behind-the-scenes arm twisting), and decided this in council chambers. Todd Gloria is (I believe) still crowing that there is overwhelming support for this measure in San Diego. If so, it should pass easily. Shouldn't it?— September 16, 2014 9:18 a.m.
Chief of staff at CPUC resigns
Don--It's around 40 here as well. Unfortunately, that is 40 Celsius. At least.— September 15, 2014 10:11 p.m.
Gloria to walk the walk for minimum-wagers
Not too many supporters in the picture above.— September 4, 2014 12:51 p.m.
Poll: San Diegans don't want to subsidize stadium
But that sale would have to be approved by a vote of the city electorate, per the city charter. Assuming that the city doesn't try to side-step that little requirement.— September 2, 2014 5 p.m.
Poll: San Diegans don't want to subsidize stadium
Don: Specifically, from the MOU; "No amateur or professional football games shall be played at the ballpark...". From section 22, subsection C, 3rd paragraph, 1st sentence.— September 2, 2014 3:03 p.m.
Poll: San Diegans don't want to subsidize stadium
Ah yes--the new BS Plaza. XTRA doesn't really care about the Padres anyway, since they don't broadcast the Padres games. They DO, on the other hand, broadcast the Charger games, and to keep those games, they will continue to be Charger (and new football stadium) honks.— September 2, 2014 9:35 a.m.
Poll: San Diegans don't want to subsidize stadium
Don: I was mentioning the numbers that Charger spokesman Mark Fabiani mentioned. The 70-80% figure is undoubtedly more accurate.— September 2, 2014 9:30 a.m.
