Tuesday, June 23, 2009	“During these economic times, as we face massive financial liabilities in the city, and San Diegans are struggling and having to make reductions, city leadership told the public we were going to enact a 6 percent cut across the board. That has not been done.” — Councilman Carl DeMaio re: cuts not universal among San Diego’s quasi-independent city agencies

Saturday, June 20, 2009	“As an aspiring presidential candidate, the handsome senator from Nevada probably not only ruined his own chances of that goal, but also adds to the list of Republicans who continue to shoot themselves in the foot. The party of family values and the moral majority, apparently is anything but.” — Nina Morrill in today’s letters to the U-T re: GOP Senator Sen. John Ensign

Tuesday, June 16, 2009	“To whom does the money trickle down to from conventions? Only the closet (sic) downtown hotels, Gaslamp restaurants, taxi cabs, airlines and a few tourist traps. Let them pay for the new expansion...Taxing the public for any of this is as outrageous as having the public subsidize new stadiums.” — BadaBingBadaBoom commenting on the $53 million price tag for convention center expansion
