Hearty compliments on the excellent usage of "popinjay"! Much better than twerp or skeeze!!!— September 27, 2015 10:56 a.m.
BBG Communications greases senator's palm
I do know there is free wifi available at some terminals, but the problem is that these very expensive phone rates are charged to the very people who do not have iphones or other means of communication. Their phones or other devices could have been lost, stolen or are not working, or they don't have the right connections to recharge...which is why these rates are predatory. It is definitely a last choice to use this company's equipment, but if you need to speak with a family member, or make arrangements for your move, you can be stuck!— September 26, 2015 8:20 a.m.
Big trouble in Eastlake III
Relatively minor point, but I'd like to reiterate a problem that was mentioned in an earlier post, having to do with roadwork that was done, and is not up to par. In our area when repaving was done this past summer, there must have been something wrong with the mix, the quantity, and the application, because the very thin amount that was used to repave is rough and crumbly, and the resurfacing ended up being very uneven. It looks like the job was half done. I kept waiting for the road crew to return and finish, but no! It was left looking unfinished. So who do we go to if McCann is ignoring the problem?— September 26, 2015 7:18 a.m.
Big trouble in Eastlake III
While I do not reside in Eastlake III, I do care about the overall scheme of things in this little corner of the universe. Isn't it strange how these little and not-so-little fiefdoms crop up here in south San Diego County? Why it is almost as if some people feel that this is an area where people get to make their own rules. Of course, when the city of Chula Vista goes along, it doesn't help. Developers rule the roost, I guess. Politicians just pander to whomever has the bucks, right? It would be so great if someone could prove me wrong on this. Eastlake III shouldn't be a fiefdom, just like the city of Chula Vista shouldn't be a fiefdom, just like Sweetwater school district shouldn't be a fiefdom, just like Chula Vista Elementary School District shouldn't be a fiefdom. All these entities and organizations should be run according to the rules that established them. Basic fact. Which is why each and every one of us needs to pay attention to where our money and power go. Watch what happens, or doesn't happen. Interesting that John McCann and spouse appear to align with the status quo. By the way, Mr. McCann, is that soccer arena still torn up? Any funds been allocated yet? Talk about the decaying of a neighborhood--crime is up, vandalism is up, and what do we get? Not much representation from Mr. McCann. Funny how that happens.— September 25, 2015 1:35 p.m.

Right. If he had been successful as a hedge fund manager, he would still be a hedge fund manager. That aggressive mentality must be leading him to search for "opportunities". Kind of worries me, because this approach can destabilize just about anything.— September 24, 2015 9:05 a.m.

Yes, and it was reported he tried the same tactic on a med for children with kidney disease when he headed another pharm company. The one that asked him to leave. He must like publicity and believe the old saw that there is no bad publicity.— September 22, 2015 8:14 p.m.

I hope the Retrophin board's lawsuit gives him more than just something to think about. I have seen several photographs of this young man, and he does rather excel at portraying self-satisfaction. I guess it is all a big game to him, and people's lives and health don't really factor in, unless as contributing factors to his bottom line. Insular, insulated, infinitesimal sense of what it means to be human.— September 22, 2015 3:55 p.m.
