Big people talk about issues; small people talk about people
I was wondering if that was actually accurate (that they were clients). Signed agreements? If so, it seems like a serious conflict for Gonzalez.— July 13, 2013 9:27 p.m.
Big people talk about issues; small people talk about people
Marco Gonzalez, one of the three press conference accusers, has said himself, that several of the women are his "clients." And that they might sue. And if they do, his firm would represent them. More conflicts, I would say.....— July 13, 2013 9:24 p.m.
Todd Gloria Mayoral signs ready pre-Pride and Filner has NOT even resigned!!
Thanks, historymatters. This is like a bad movie, with that poster.— July 13, 2013 7:36 p.m.
Is Mayor Filner being set up by special interests?
Excellent commentary.— July 11, 2013 9:53 a.m.
Stealth attacks in San Diego's sixth district council race already flying
Good job, FPPC.— July 6, 2013 8:49 a.m.
U.S. investigating $100,000 donation, Channel 10 says
Who started the talk - seen here and in a few earlier comments in other publications - that Filner considered taking the money personally, or might have skimmed off the top? First of all, I don't think there is any evidence for that, and it seems almost ridiculous. Secondly, I don't think the checks were ever cashed or deposited. (That said, I am curious where they were stored or held, which this whole thing played out.) I am appalled by way Tom Story contacted the Mayor's office, with this offer. And disappointed that the Mayor's office (Allen Jones) took him up on it. But not for a minute do I think Filner was looking for any personal pay-off. It's just not his style.— July 3, 2013 8:33 p.m.
City Attorney Jan Goldsmith has a history of prosecuting activists who scribble chalk on public sidewalks
Note to commenter above, commenter Nostalgic wrote "had time" not, "had the jurisdiction" to prosecute cases. Let's not be quite so literal.— June 28, 2013 11:11 p.m.
Ethics watchdog instructs ex-San Diego mayor on how to cool off
So the Chamber may not be getting its full money's worth from ex-Mayor Sanders this year? Or, maybe they are.... Hard to imagine what he would be doing to justify his big salary. I don't see him as a particulary savvy business guy. Interesting that he needed a "succinct" response. Not much patience with rules and regulations, apparently.— June 25, 2013 10:50 a.m.
Mob lawyer’s memoir omits Hedgecock and Manchester
To the commenter above, saying Moe Dalitz "became a multimillionaire" in "legit business" reminds me of the scene in The Sopranos. The New Yorker featured a clip of it in an article about Gandolfini's death. Tony Soprano and his daughter are driving somewhere and she asks him "Dad, are you in the Mafia?" He lies, then he hedges, says there is no Mafia, then he kind of fesses up, but a second later adds: "But I also make money in legitimate businesses!"— June 24, 2013 7:30 p.m.
Free Vargas road trip rolls into Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay
There must have been an insurance group rate; most Ritz-Carlton rooms are $500 and up. His love for golf junkets should have been his un-doing, but instead he is a member of Congress, something he has been lusting for even more than the free luxury trips. And it was almost $1000 in airfare to get from San Diego to San Francisco and back? Just the start of his Congressional gift-taking, I'm sure; he perfected the sport in the California legislature.— June 20, 2013 10:53 p.m.
