Dumanis Disqualifies Herself
Bonnie Dumanis was interviewed by the U-T editorial board today. Ricky Young, @sdutYoung on Twitter, has a couple of key quotes. Dumanis to U-T edit board, asked about Prop D, says she voted but ”My vote is personal” Dumanis says she doesn’t remember Prop 23, last fall’s effort to undo AB32, so doesn’t know how she might have voted.

Dumanis “Changes Mind” on Pension Reform
In what can only be described as a San Diego mayoral campaign continuing to sputter while searching for a focus (any focus), yesterday Bonnie Dumanis announced that she flip-flopped her position on the Comprehensive Pension Reform Initiative. She is now in support. Not only did her position change for no apparent reason other than she figures she can’t win while …
David Weigel’s Feeble Defense of NYT’s Lichtblau, Plus Issa/Bardella Conspiracy Theory!
David Weigel, the former conservative movement columnist for the Washington Post, is running interference for Eric Lichtblau of the New York Times. Lichtblau authored the falsified New York Times article claiming Darrell Issa was engaging in business practices that led to profits improperly tied to his position as a Congressman. Weigel’s column in Slate attempts to dispute Issa’s recent suggestion …

San Diego Mayoral Candidates: Debate This
As originally posted on The Flash Report. A debate’s raging in San Diego. A debate over debates. It’s a curious thing.

Twist, But No Exoneration, For Eric Lichtblau’s NYT Story About Darrell Issa
NOTE: I’m assuming you already know about last week’s New York Times article on Rep. Darrell Issa by Eric Lichtblau. The article accused the Vista Republican of unseemly financial practices that took advantage of his public office. If you aren’t up to speed, go read the original NYT article, along with my previous posts about the article. ————————- A limited …

SF building useless 1.7 mile subway for $1.6 BILLION
Many of us simply marvel at the idiocy underlying California’s high speed rail (HSR) project. It was sold to the public with what are now obvious lies, falsehoods and, well, more lies. The backers are in it for the billions of profit, yet the left loves these “green” corporatist conmen. Knowing what we now know, how can any sane person …
DeMaio Campaign Thanks Fletcher for Supporting DeMaio’s Ideas in “Pathway to Prosperity” Jobs Plan
On Thursday, August 18th mayoral candidate Nathan Fletcher sent a mass email unveiling the first part of his plan to “bring San Diego’s business practices into the 21st Century.” Fletcher declared that, “we must look at everything we do with fresh eyes and new ideas.”
The only problem is that every component of his plan appears to be lifted from proposals already released by DeMaio and his team – there are no original ideas.
DeMaio campaign spokesman Stephen Puetz explained, “After reading the email several times, I concluded that Assemblyman Fletcher’s reference to fresh eyes and new ideas must be a veiled compliment to the work Carl has done on this issue over the past two years — after all, imitation is the ultimate form of flattery. We look forward to seeing future policy positions by Mr. Fletcher and recommend he review additional initiatives from Carl for continuing inspiration.”

County Redistricting – Response to Steve Danon
As I have already made clear, I support the implementation of an independent commission to redraw county supervisorial lines. The difference between me and Steve Danon, who wrote to the North County Times about this issue, is that he tries to write commentaries that leave out facts in the hopes that you won’t find out what he omitted. And although …
