Abbe Wolfsheimer-Stutz dies
Abbe Wolfsheimer Stutz was a superb representative of this community while she served on San Diego City Council. In election season she walked her neighborhoods to poll public concerns. She worked successfully to establish the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy which flows to the Pacific Ocean. She was very intelligent, very witty, a good writer and an inveterate world traveller. She will be sorely missed.— March 17, 2014 12:28 p.m.
Dear Mayor Faulconer: repeal the email retention policy
Happy St. Patrick's Day to Pat Flannery. What a treasure he is.— March 15, 2014 4:46 p.m.
Military contracting giants gird for barrio battle
Little Latino asthmatic residents of Barrio Logan: just go ---- yourselves. We are Nassco/General Dynamics and we know what's good for San Diego -- and it isn't your rinky-dink "community plan." We are going to blow you away on June 3 at a free and fair democratic election by the suckers, um, make that the People, of America's Finest City. We are Big Business, protecting jobs: hear us roar.— March 15, 2014 2:44 p.m.
City attorney Goldsmith fights to keep his emails private
Thank you, aardvark. This is one instance where we can be grateful for term limits.— March 7, 2014 4:05 p.m.
City attorney Goldsmith fights to keep his emails private
City Attorney Jan Goldsmith is a wily right-wing former Assemblyman and judge. He doesn't believe the public has a right to know anything via a free press and he fights tooth and nail to maintain his self-styled "privacy,"even as an elected official. I don't know if there are term limits on the City Attorney, but voters should get rid of Goldsmith at the next opportunity. Hyper-partisan Jan Goldsmith disgraces his profession and his office.— March 7, 2014 3:26 p.m.
CPUC shows its inbred corruption
Isn't this basically a problem that Governor Brown should resolve at this point? (Or after he gets re-elected for the last time?) Cleaning up the CPUC so that it works fairly on behalf of ratepayers as well as profitably for the utilities seems ready-made for some Jerry Brown straight-talk and iron hand. (Maybe this outcome is Aguirre's karma for having endorsed Faulconer for Mayor instead of fellow-Democrat David Alvarez.)— March 7, 2014 3:09 p.m.
SD’s Tourism Marketing District’s odd strategy
Hello, Mayor Faulconer and City Council: TMD San Diego, operating with our tax dollars, should be prohibited from this sort of extraneous activity. It is too far afield from the TMD mission. I understand that legal outcomes in the Inland Empire might affect San Diego TMD fortunes, but filing amicus briefs up there is way outside their charge. (TMD San Diego is already skating on thin ice with its "fee"as opposed to "tax" designation: TMD should not push its luck.)— March 7, 2014 2:58 p.m.
Handwriting on the wall for city’s anti-graffiti bid
What an interesting story with such enlightening comments. Why are basic City services such as graffiti abatement so spotty, so outsourced, so convoluted and difficult to obtain or track? It seems to me that something is out of whack when there is no clear line between need, delivery and accountability. Is this the public/private contract trap?— March 7, 2014 2:51 p.m.
City distances itself from Filner harassment case
I am SOOO glad Carolann is feeling better. She won't have to "see" anything anymore from the City under the present bi-partisan collusion of Rep. City Attorney Jan Goldsmith and Dem. City Council President Todd Gloria who are planning to ditch all City documents that are more than a year old to avoid being embarrassed by their fraternity. Not to mention any public accounting from the now-dissolved "nonprofit" Balboa Park Centennial Commission whose members apparently have squandered $2.8 million of taxpayer money on salaries for do-nothings and whose "papers and documents" are being turned over by the Commissions's "transition director" Gerry Braun to the aforementioned Todd Gloria et al on the City Clowncil. I guess Goldsmith is hoping to save the City a few bucks by reneging on defending the former Mayor for misbehavior while in office -- something Goldsmith was legally bound to do until this recent "doctrine of respondeat superior" gambit.— March 5, 2014 3:52 p.m.
City of San Diego to purge year-old emails
Since Mike Aguirre endorsed Kevin Faulconer for Mayor, maybe he can use that leverage with the Mayor now and encourage him to nix this outrage.— March 3, 2014 6:07 p.m.
