5th District I’m not great with all of the new and ever-changing technology and I’m still getting used to Twitter, but at the county we are technologically advanced.

The “Tell us Now” app is a way for residents to report nonemergency problems including road repair, graffiti, abandoned vehicles and other issues. The “SD Emergency” app has extensive i... Full story

This is a major step toward resolving the litigation, in which we claimed water rights and challenged water rates and charges imposed by MWD on the Water Authority and the regio... Full story

The report involved whining about “process issues” that commonly consume public agencies. Observing the crowd, the presumption is that the affirmative case for the pro... Full story

Tree People, California ReLeaf, and the California Urban F... Full story
Another poll with its usual sprinkling of bad judgment and residual bad taste. The San Diego Democratic party polls, with support from the building and trades, with their “No” recommendation, caused the failure of Measure A. The people in North County, where the exploitation of rural acreage is basically centered, were hard over for A passage. Since the Democratic party said, “Too many loopholes,” be assured that next time it will have narrowed exceptions. The party erred. But voters of all persuasions did drive a stake t... Full story
