| New pension board...same old unresolved
issues: $1.37B deficit, jeopardized tax-free
status, lawsuits and a request from federal
investigators that the board turn over documents that hadn’t been
handed over by the previous board....and our City Attorney! |
| “It’s
time for Mayor Murphy to go. He needs to resign, and he needs to put
the interests of San Diego
first. He’s incapable of governing the city. He’s incapable of providing leadership out of this crisis, and he has to go. This was the final straw.” — City Attorney Mike Aguirre |

City
Attorney Mike Aguirre held an open forum this evening in council
chambers to discuss the effectiveness of his office and extent of their
work. Councilmember Donna Frye made a short statement giving her full
support to their efforts. Video of last May’s budget review showed
Mayor Dick, Brian Maienschein and Toni Atkins praising the work being
done in the office of (then) City Attorney Casey Gwinn. The mayor added
that he had “come around” to the realization that the city (not the
county) should oversee the prosecution of city misdemeanor cases.
Aguirre then asked his staff that also worked for Gwinn to stand. Over
100 rose. (also of note: the city’s cable channel would not televise
the meeting)

Fans got their money’s worth at
this season’s opening game.
Not in runs or hits, but in time
and innings.
It took a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the 12th inning
before the first player crossed the plate after 10:30pm
to give the Padres a 1-0 win for their home opener.
Whatever happened to “Opening Day?”
Petco Park was filled with media before Thursday night’s
