LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF SAN DIEGO
The election for San Diego City Attorney is a critical race for San Diego’s future. I have had the honor of serving in this office since 2004 and it is encouraging to report that great strides have been made in restoring the rule of law at City Hall.
We settled the City’s legal issues with the United States Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC). The $100 million judgment against the City in the Roque de la Fuente case has been reversed. We stood firm to prevent a developer from constructing the oversized Sunroad office building near Montgomery Field. We refused to allow your public parking in Balboa Park to be turned over to a valet parking company. And we succeeded in creating an ordinance to stop the proliferation of mini-dorms in single family neighborhoods.
Because of our investigations you know more about the financial and legal predicament facing the City of San Diego. Your right to gain access to public records has been restored. And we continue to enforce laws that protect our community.
The 2008 re-election campaign will be a tough one. Organized forces seeking to thwart our call for open government are seeking to turn back the clock. Do you want to return to the days when the city attorney did not act solely in the public interest, or do you want to keep reform on track?
Campaigns require work. There are yard signs to put up, calls to be made, and precincts to walk. Your support will be vital in helping us present our message to voters.
You know that I will continue to fight for San Diego’s future. Together we can make changes that will benefit generations to come. Please call me at (619) 542-1945 if you’d like to discuss any issue.
