I've said this before, but no wonder the Republicans want to post the Ten Commandments everywhere. They have a terrible time remembering them . . . particularly the ninth: "Thou shalt not bear false witness." LOL. There's a couple of other commandments they need constant reminding of......"thou shall not steal" is one of them: Upheaval Continues in San Diego as 11 Vie for Mayor By ANDREW POLLACK Published: July 25, 2005 SAN DIEGO, July 21 - Discussing why he should be elected this city's next mayor, Jerry Sanders recalled how he commanded a SWAT team in 1984 that shot a man who had opened fire at a local McDonald's, killing 21 people. "There's nothing in the world that could be tougher than that," said Mr. Sanders, a former police chief. But governing San Diego right now might not be far behind. This city, the nation's seventh largest, is reeling from accusations of civic corruption. Two City Council members, one serving his first official day as acting mayor, resigned this week after being convicted of taking payments from the owner of a local strip club. Federal authorities are investigating possible improprieties in the management of the city employees' pension fund, which has a deficit of at least $1.4 billion. San Diego has long billed itself as "America's finest city." But the pension deficit is draining general city finances, leading to cutbacks in library hours, after-school programs and pothole repairs. And because the city has not produced audited financial statements since 2002, it cannot issue bonds for projects like improving sewage treatment. continued......... nytimes.com
