FULL TEXT:
Good evening, and welcome to beautiful Irwin M. Jacobs’ Qualcomm Hall.
January 3rd marked the 157th year of County government.
We have accomplished a lot since the first Board of Supervisors rode to meetings by horseback, coach or wagon.
There have been good times and bad but we have always weathered the storm.
At the very center of today’s storm is the most difficult economy we have faced in decades. It has forced many companies to change the way they do business, and many households to cut back on spending.
State of the County To Unveil New Initiatives, Discuss Challenges for 2010
At the first meeting of 2010, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to select me as Chair of the Board and lead the County during what many expect to be a fiscally challenging year for the County of San Diego.
The board also unanimously voted Supervisor Bill Horn, District 5, as Vice Chairman and Supervisor Ron Roberts, District 4, as Chair Pro Tem.
My chairmanship succeeds Supervisor Dianne Jacob, District 2. Supervisor Jacob passed the torch to me in the best shape we could be in given the conditions between a state government in turmoil and declining local tax revenue.
Tonite’s GOP Endorsements
In addition to Jeff Olson for County Assessor (see post below), the Republican Party of San Diego County tonight endorsed the following candidates in their respective races next year…
Lorie Zapf – San Diego City Council, District 6
Supervisors Ron Roberts and Bill Horn for reelection
Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister and District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis for reelection
If the GOP endorses in the Sheriff’s race, now THAT will be news. Any thoughts on whether that will happen?
The Politics of ACORN
With all the smoke in the air over ACORN, it’s hard to know how big of a fire we’re dealing with right now.
Too many people focused on the theatrics of the videotaped pimp and prostitute story which distracted from the troubling allegations surrounding the organization including voter registration fraud, embezzlement, and illegal use of taxpayer funds.
Locally, my colleagues on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously in favor of legislation co-docketed by Supervisor Bill Horn and myself to assist state and local investigators to conduct an inquiry into the voter registration practices of ACORN, or Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. The legislation also requested that an investigation conducted last year be revisited.
