Remember Blackwater? Documents reveal it was a CIA extension
Congratulations to the people in East County San Diego (lead organizer was Ray Lutz) who stopped the inappropriate use of one lovely piece of pristine land in the region. Blackwater's bad reputation and secretive operations were also strongly against them, but it was the local people who paid attention, attended the Planning Committee meetings, and organized, to maintain their rural environment.— March 15, 2013 11:04 a.m.
Former law colleagues of judge in moguls' case against Filner gave big money to DeMaio
Yes, I would say GOP-leaning for sure. You don't leave a law firm behind after 20 years there, just because you are elected or appointed Judge. 33 pages of clients in their lobbying report. That's a lot of business at City Hall. No wonder Neils thought donating to Filner was the "right thing to do"...after Filner won the election.— March 15, 2013 10:44 a.m.
Seeing purple, not so much green
Yes, icPurple was a fraud. People who took it seriously were duped. And apparently they did not connect with that "Army of Moderates." Qualcomm will no doubt drag it out again in time for a future election.— March 13, 2013 10:41 p.m.
Ex-supervisor gives $250,000 of leftover campaign cash to San Diego Opera
Watch for future Opera & SDSU publicity honors naming "Pam Slater-Price" as the generous donor, when it was really campaign contributors, for whom it was money well spent, to get the County favors they wanted.— March 12, 2013 11:15 a.m.
Dialing up dollars
Fortunately A&T did not succeed in hiding their bribes & gifts with the euphemism "activity expenses." The category should be "freebies for elected officials" (and their staffers) instead.— March 7, 2013 1:51 p.m.
Newsom's San Diegans of interest
Doubt he will return to practice of architecture. He has moved on. Will no doubt continue working in the historic preservation field though. He is still involved with preservation issues nationally and in California and is an expert in the field.— February 28, 2013 11:30 a.m.
Hotel titan leading legal war against Democrat Filner had role in San Diego Nixon scandal
Interesting local history and review of national ramifications. Doubt the vast army of local journo tweeters are aware of much of the history.— February 24, 2013 12:45 p.m.
Advocacy group closely tied to big hotel owner backs legal attack on Filner
Love that old Alessio family history review. Guess all this inside politics maneuvering is just the San Diego way.— February 23, 2013 5:57 p.m.
Declining to take public questions, tax-backed tourism board votes to sue Filner
Everything for the hotels used to be a quick slam-dunk, under Mayor Sanders. A bit more difficult now under the new strong Mayor to get their pet programs paid for by "others" - e.g., big PR and advertising contracts for their friends.— February 22, 2013 4:09 p.m.
Humphrey's owner voted to sue San Diego mayor
"The report, signed by John Lambeth, a Colantuono associate, is dated the same day we requested it, February 19." What a coincidence.— February 21, 2013 2:12 p.m.
