Chief of staff at CPUC resigns
I believe that the agency staff has 90 days to review the complaint and make written recommendation to the Board to approve or deny the claim. It's all spelled out in the Ca Govt code, so if someone wants to look it up, the should be able to find it.— September 16, 2014 11:15 p.m.

Don Bauder Let me elaborate. Here's what his claim states: A - The injury was to my ability to represent my clients before the PUC, to exercise my First Amendment Rights, and my rights under the Bagley Keene Act, and State Constitution. B - While at the CPUC Community Meeting re: motion to adopt the San Onofre settlement at approx 4pm under the direction of CPUC Public Adviser Karen Miller two Cal Highway Patrol Officers interefered with my right to represent my client in the Community meeting by attempting to take my attorney work product needed for my presentation at the meeting. C - Karen Miller is a State of California Employee, the two Highway Patrol Officers are State of California employees. Karen Miller is liable for punitive damages. Basically, Aguirre has to file the claim before he can sue the state. GCP requires that he first pursues an administrative remedy through the claims process and unless the claim is rejected or denied, he can't sue a state agency, in this case the CPUC. Put simply, he's saying they did this, so I want this. I doubt the CPUC will willingly play nice and that he will end up pursuing remedy in court. Aguirre is a smart guy and I think that's what he expects to happen;he's just following the necessary steps to get there.— September 16, 2014 11 p.m.

captd/founder Aguirre filed the claim against Karen Miller, so I don't see how this would affect it.— September 16, 2014 5:37 p.m.

According to (FCC) chairman Tom Wheeler,from an op-ed he wrote last week, the sports blackout rule needs to go and the full commission will vote on it before the end of the month. "The NFL should no longer be able to hide behind government rules that punish loyal fans, which is why I am sending to my fellow commissioners a proposal to get rid of the FCC's blackout rules once and for all," Wheeler wrote in his op-ed. "It fulfills a commitment I made in June. We will vote on the proposal on September 30." I guess we'll see.— September 16, 2014 3:53 p.m.
Tampa blows SD out of the water(front)
don bauder, I was commenting mostly tongue in cheek here, though I did recently read something interesting, and ironic, as it were. According to the FTC, when excluding identity theft, Colorado has the highest per capita rate of consumer fraud complaints in the country, something like 600 complaints per 100k in population. And but of course Florida I believe is still the leader in identity theft.— September 14, 2014 2:08 p.m.
Tampa blows SD out of the water(front)
I didn't say I want to live there, just sayin that water front property is less expensive there.The only places I go in the Florida are the Keys. I would live in the Keys, rednecks, alligators and crocs(yes they have both) and hurricanes not withstanding. And like you, I choose NOT to live in San Diego.— September 13, 2014 12:14 p.m.
Tampa blows SD out of the water(front)
A couple of things about hurricanes. You know when they are coming and you can get coverage to protect you from loss. Can you say that about all of the scams that happen in San Diego?— September 13, 2014 12:05 p.m.
Hispanic entrepreneurship low in SD
Yes, I am aware of that. My point is that it's a numbers game. It's much easier to score high with a small market representation than it is with a larger one. For example, Phoenix is about 40% Hispanic or Latino, almost 600K or Los Angeles, almost 50% Hispanic or Latino with close to 1.8 million. It takes a lot more to move the numbers in a large population base, but a larger sample size provides a more precise result.— September 13, 2014 11:57 a.m.
Trillion troubles
Not sure of the meaning of your reply. I was just adding a bit more info on the case as a whole. I don't pay much attention to the media reports, I usually read the FBI releases.— September 13, 2014 11:48 a.m.
Hispanic entrepreneurship low in SD
I know they listed it in their rankings as " Gilbert Town", but it Gilbert, Az. And while it may rank as 4th "best", the "Hispanic or Latino" population is only about 15%, about 1/2 the state's average, while the "White alone" population is over 80%.— September 12, 2014 4:54 p.m.
