It’s no surprise that the police unions endorsed Comrade Bob Filner for mayor of San Diego. But what deserves more publicity is that a major reason the unions themselves declare they are adamantly opposed to Carl DeMaio is that DeMaio led the charge against their city sales tax increase (which turned out to not be needed after all).
NOTE TO UNION BOSSES: The sales tax measure lost by a whopping 62%. San Diegans REJECT your “raise taxes” solution. The lies by proponents are now apparent to all.

Obviously your endorsement of Comrade Bob indicates your confidence that Filner can be counted on to SUPPORT and indeed INITIATE such tax increases.
Thanks for the “heads up,” labor union bosses. Who says union endorsements aren’t useful to voters?
