Any way you slice it Cheryl Cox’s mayorship has been a disaster. She lost the billion dollar Bayfront project by being a bystander when the unions tried to Greenmail Gaylord. She scared away the Chargers Stadium deal culminating with her very public war with Mark Fabiani that aired on TV for all of us to see (good for repeat viewing). …

Is Green Mass Transit a Big Myth?
Short Answer – Yes. While a full bus or light rail train is more energy efficient per passenger mile, the fact is that most hours of the day such transit is lightly used, driving up the energy cost per passenger, according to studies done by the U.S. Dept of Energy. — http://www.ncpa.org/sub/dpd/index.php?page=article&Article_ID=16923 Daily Policy Digest Energy Issues August 18, 2008 …

With over 1.4 MILLION voters eligible to vote in the June primary, candidates for the various countywide offices face quite a challenge. How do you make yourself known?

The benefit package of politicians
Yesterday in the “Poway Chieftain” Newspaper (http://pomeradonews.com/), there was a column titled “Viewpoint” (I’m sorry, but the paper doesn’t allow me to bring up the article for posting) in which the author made a comment regarding the free healthcare and reimbursement policies (including their retirement package with PERS) that members of the Poway City Council receive. Of course the fact …

Just Home And Must Post…

Is America Still Great?
Is America Still Great? The short answer is absolutely, but unfortunately California is struggling right now. CBS has a new show called “Undercover Boss”.

Dear Marti,
Dear Marti, I read the following: (From San Diego Magazine) THE POKING NOSE: With San Diego still struggling to stem the riptide of red ink, the city is “desperately trying to ‘refinance’ its debt,” according to one City Hall wag. “In other words, some want to stretch payments out longer for short-term savings. Sounds familiar,” she says. “Very much like …
