I never seriously doubted that San Diego CityBeat would endorse Proposition D. Now the left-leaning alt-weekly has made its support of the tax hike official.
CityBeat originally claimed it opposed Prop. D, but I found its declared opposition less than convincing for reasons I won’t repeat here.
For more information about CityBeat’s political preferences, read its endorsements of candidates and ballot propositions.
As for my political preferences (Libertarian), at the state level I’m following John & Ken’s ballot guide, with the unlikely but possible exception of holding my nose and supporting the untrustworthy Meg Whitman over the catastrophic Jerry Brown.
At the local level, I’ll follow Richard Rider’s recommendations.
Thanks to CityBeat’s Dave Maass — a genuinely nice guy I had the pleasure of meeting recently — for alerting me to the endorsement.
