Opinion: San Diego's political slush funds and supporter behest payments must go [Opinion]
Charity set up to support mayor’s office withholds records, collected funds from companies with business before the city
” : Thanks U-T Watchdog for exposing the recent political behest payments by the mayor, et al. It is another example of our local politicians’ lack of transparency and respect for voters. Two other recent examples come to mind, again, from Watchdog reports. The mayor and City Council salary increases are tied to judge’s salary increases so our leaders enjoy automatic increases with no public review or scrutiny. They have enjoyed five raises in the past three years, doubling their salaries. And remember the property tax increase disguised in a shell game move.
Maybe this reporting will cause these politicians to self-police and reform their practices of obfuscation , or maybe the voters will take action and elect honest officials in the next election.
