Councilmember Faulconer’s Statement on Mayor Filner’s 2013-2014 Budget Proposal
SAN DIEGO — Today, Councilmember Kevin Faulconer released the following statement regarding Mayor Filner’s proposed Fiscal Year 2014 budget.
“Instead of continuing with fiscal discipline, accountability and fully implementing voter-approved managed competition, Mayor Filner’s proposed budget repeats the mistakes of City Hall’s past. The Mayor’s budget further delays critically needed street repair projects yet increases other government spending for years into the future by raiding the City’s savings accounts and gambling our stability on future revenue growth.”
The Mayor will present his budget to the City Council on Tuesday, April 16 at 2:00 p.m.

Great news that the temporary Emergency Winter Shelter Tent operated by Alpha Project will be opened year round in order to give the poor and homeless certainty.
Will similar budgets requests for the Veterans Tent in the Midway area get approval to year round instead of only Temporary Winter? Why Not?
I am confused how the employees could get a 14.5% raise over 5 years but it not count toward “pensionable pay”? Is it really the case that the City has full and complete discretion as to what does or doesn’t count toward that? I am amazed that the courts will ultimately agree to that.
