 Might
as well get used to it...
it’s gonna be a wet weekend.  Forecasters say the storm will linger through Tuesday!  Failure to replace
storm drains will cost SD millions
Rain also fell during this
evening’s AFC wild-card game at the Q when
the Bolt boys ended their season with a heartbreaking loss to the Jets. |

 A lawsuit seeking to overturn San Diego’s mayoral
election was filed yesterday stating that election
officials have “unlawfully and
unconstitutionally disenfranchised thousands of eligible San Diego
voters...and have denied them their fundamental right to vote and
their rights to due process and the equal protection of the laws.”

 County Supervisor Toni Atkins (it has a nice ring to it!)
Nicole announced it in this week’s
GLT
— Our popular City Councilmember Toni Atkins will be running for the 4th District seat of the County Board of
Supervisors
in 2006. After much urging, support and commitments from labor unions,
environmentalist, business and Democratic leaders (there currently is not one Democrat
on the county board), Toni will be a candidate in this
Democratic district. There is one major problem, though, and it’s that
the current county supervisor who is running for re-election is our
community’s longtime friend Ron Roberts. Many
who are friends with both Toni and Ron are not looking forward to this
race, but Toni will run even if Ron sticks to his decision to seek
re-election. Fasten your seatbelt – it’s going to be a bumpy ride. We
wonder who GLT publisher Michael Portantino will endorse.

Thank you, Senator!
This afternoon Barbara Boxer lodged a formal protest in the nation’s capitol that the Ohio votes “were not, under all known circumstances, regularly given” in the November election.
By law, a protest signed by members of the House and Senate requires both chambers to meet separately for up to two hours to consider it. Lawmakers are allowed to speak for no more than five minutes each.
The Senate session lasted just over an hour and ended when the chamber voted 74-1 to uphold Ohio’s votes, with Boxer the lone vote. The House used its full time and followed suit, 267-31.

FEDs vs MEDs
A little-known law may finally challenge the feds’ 30-year stall in recognizing medical marijuana.
But it also raises a big question: Who decides what is medicine?

Have you seen Mission
Hill’s Pioneer
Park since last week’s winter storm?
Many of the diagonally planted eucalyptus trees put in by Kate Sessions (to divide the former cemetery from Catholics and Protestants) are themselves
gone forever.

| Avid organ enthusiast John D. Spreckels and his brother Adolph gave this grand instrument and the elegant pavilion that surrounds her to our city in 1915. The nation’s first outside organ celebrated her 90th birthday today with a five-hour concert in Balboa Park for thousands of happy fans who enjoyed a multitude of performers, tours of her pipes...and free birthday cake on a beautiful New Year’s Day afternoon. | |||
