Million-dollar lawyer
don bauder, I read a little on this. I don't think the reason it took so long is that the court was so slow. The Court was out of session from the end of May until September. I would guess that the dockets for March and May were full, so September was the soonest it could be heard. Interesting that in the September term, the court disbarred 9, suspended 21, reprimanded 5 and censured 2. Apparently. there are a lot of crooked lawyers in Illinois, or a lot of dumb ones who got caught. BTW, Lee was actually disbarred by consent, after filing a motion to have his name removed from the roster of attorneys and he may be able to return to practice after he has "demonstrated his rehabilitation three years after the effective date of his voluntarily disbarment.". Of course, since he's also facing a max of 20yr in the joint for the federal wire fraud charge, that point may be mute for a while— October 1, 2014 8:56 a.m.
Font of wisdom
Ironically, a few years ago, maybe 4 or 5, a report indicated a seawater desalination plant on Camp Pendleton would be feasible and the SDC Water Authority approved an agreement with Camp Pendleton to proceed with planning work. Apparently, it's on the back burner for now with city’s plan to purify wastewater to drinking-water standards as the next major item on their agenda.— October 1, 2014 8:32 a.m.
San Diego stadium, convention center lies you will hear
Interesting about the "paid" convention. Just barely a week ago, the LACC issued a release that among other things said that instead of finishing the FY with a loss of $1.6 million as predicted in February, they finished the fiscal year with a $290,000 surplus, and hosted and event-managed a total of 167 events from December 2013 through June 30, 2014.Can you give more detail on this "paid" convention or maybe a link. I would be quite interested in learning more about it.— September 30, 2014 5:05 p.m.
Bribes for the bankers
I assume that you are referring to Carmen Segarra. I listened to the story a few days ago on NPR.— September 30, 2014 9:35 a.m.

don bauder, A few thoughts. AEG asked for the extension for a couple of reasons, for extra time to try and get a team to commit to moving and also to work on an alternative development plan in case that falls through. According to what I've read recently, their announcement may be suggesting they aer seriously considering the possible expansion of the Convention Center complex, which I believe they are on the hook for either way, without a stadium. Second, while the Chargers may lose some income, I don't think it would be all that great. The bulk of the league's revenue comes from the broadcast deals.That income is shared equally among all of the teams. With the exception of the Cowboys, income from licensing deals is also shared evenly. Gate revenue is a little different, with the home team keeping 60 and the visiting team getting 40 percent. If the Chargers lose fans in the form of ticket sales, then obviously they would lose that revenue along with the related revenue, concessions, parking, etc. Final thought. Even if AEG gets it's 6month extension, it doesn't necessarily mean they are going to get the nod for a new team. I have read several articles in the last couple of months in which the so-called NFL insiders are now considering the downtown stadium deal a long shot at best and it's more likely a stadium in Inglewood, where Stan Kroenke bought the land near the Forum.The Rams have an out of their lease in March. Earlier this year an LASC judge ruled in favor of Pasadena in a suit brought by Rose Bowl area residents. The ruling effectively gives city the possibility to hold 30 large events, enough to accommodate a full season for an NFL team, which the Pasadena city council City Council approved by amending the Arroyo Seco Public Lands Ordinance almost 2 yrs ago— September 30, 2014 9:22 a.m.

Angels flip off Snow White
I don't know that MOreno can build one himself. Forbes lists his worth at $1.3 billion and I think the Angels are about $800 million of that.— September 29, 2014 11:55 p.m.
Bribes for the bankers
don bauder, that's never been a secret. It has changed a little recently, but up until recently, most of the Fed CAME from Wall Street.— September 29, 2014 11:48 p.m.
San Diego stadium, convention center lies you will hear
aardvark and don bauder. According to Goodell, there will be 2 teams playing in Los Angeles, not 1. According to what I have read, the Raiders are almost for certain one of the teams and it's either the Rams or the Chargers, 60-40 for the Rams, as the other team. I have read, in several places, that announcement will be made in the next 12-18 months. If AEG gets their extension, it could be announced sooner rather than later. Meaning if it's the Chargers, I think they would make it public in Jan of 2016. But, if Stan Kroenke's name surfaces anywhere near the AEG plan, you can bet it's the Rams and the Chargers will be shite out of luck.— September 29, 2014 11:45 p.m.
Kilroy's cronies
They are actually planning 3 different sites in Hollywood for a total of about $800 million worth of development. The other 2 are on Sunset, about a block apart, between Gower and Vine, right down the street from a Roscoe's.— September 29, 2014 11:33 p.m.
