City Attorney's one-eighty on Sunroad. Office calls Sunroad lawsuit a "sham"
1 of 2: Diogenes and Pat: Thanks for the much-needed comic relief this morning. I appreciate it, especially today. Normally I do not respond to cowards like Diogenes who don't have the spine to use their real names when they criticize others. But Pat, whom I love dearly, does. So Diogenes can ride the Flannery-Briggs goodwill train this morning for free. (Diogenes, if you'd like to "tell Briggs [yourself]" what's on your mind, here's my number today: 909-949-7115. If you call, please be prepared to tell the receptionist your real name.) You two are crazy--to Pat I say that with love--if you think that the Sunroad lawsuit was orchestrated in any way between Goldsmith and me. One of the many benefits of the internet is that people who don't know the facts get to spew B.S. and don't have to pay their therapists to listen to it; good for you, entertaining for us, bad for therapists' pocketbooks. Pat I know likes to throw bombs, so much of what he offers stirs the pot more than it reveals what he really thinks. Diogenes obviously knows nothing about Sunroad or the "business downtown [I have] on behalf of [my] clients." If "business downtown" means representing watchdog organizations who are trying to protect taxpayers and keep the politicians honest, then Diogenes' premise is right but it undermines his conclusion. If "business downtown" means something else--well, as I said, he knows nothing and is crazy. Regarding Goldsmith: I respect the guy tremendously for his years as a public servant, but he compromised himself--beyond redemption in my view--when he made it his POLITICAL mission to bring Filner down instead of simply acting as the city attorney and staying above the political fray because he lost his moral authority along the way. Filner has a nasty disposition--that was how I viewed it before learning about Sunroad and his sexual abuse toward women--but good lawyers work with folks like Filner all day long and still manage to make substantial progress on the issues that matter to their clients. Goldsmith lost sight of that.— August 21, 2013 9:20 a.m.

As I said above, Filner now supports this corporate welfare.— August 17, 2013 7:15 p.m.

Filner's accusers and their interesting connection to KPBS and the Port Commission
The Port has no control over the Navy Broadway Complex. Zero. It is controlled by the feds. If you knew as much about the Port as your blog would have people believe, you'd know this very basic fact about our waterfront. My Facebook post earlier today for Briggs Law Corporation explains why people are wrong to read my comments at the State Lands Commission meeting as impugning Irene's credibility. In the future, contact me directly if you want to know why I said or did something. Posing a suggestive question when you do not know the whole story and especially when you do not know the answer--like posting anonymous comments--is intellectually dishonest.— August 9, 2013 10:38 p.m.
