Richard Rider got the first opening, Donna up now. She wants everyone to get along and (eep) she's got makeup on. Not that it's helping. She's *very* prepared and mesasured. Rider was rambling and went over his time.

Donna's talking about her 'success' with so-called "open government"... Jerry Sanders is up now. He made a bad joke about dog years and rambling about pressing the flesh. He's obviously got some kind of prepared remarks. Sanders is considered the 'defacto' runner-up to the union's pick Donna Frye. The local GOP is pushing Sanders.

Pat Shea up now. Clearly speaking off the cuff. Talks of affection for the city and talks of going to USDHS then off to Harvard and his legal practice and specifically his experience with the Orange County, CA Ch 9 bankruptcy reorganization some years ago.

Steve Francis is up now. I think he's wearing eyeshow and maybe lip balm. He's reading off prepared notes and it shows badly. He's promsing a 10% cut in management fat and 20% cut in the City Council budget. No tax increases. He seems nervous. Wants to cut pay & perks of politicians. He actually stayed in the allotted top. NY Myke up now. He's been spending way too much time in the sun. He's hitting on the pension issue as the 'one' issue. He talks about the border issue, first responders and needing to take on the unions via renegotiation. He'd in some kind of sport coat. No tie. Jim Bell up next. He's not wearing a jacket, just a white-shirt and tie (which is loose). He's talking about oil!! And energy costs. He looks like a vermin due to an overbite. Again on energy. If you haven't guessed he's our local envro-energy wacko.

Jim Bell - "eliminate obvious terrorist targets" in his list.

Whats that mean, get rid of productive businesses, military bases, etc?

I am willing to bet that he has no interest in "eliminating" terrorists!

San Diego is gorgeous, I'm staying in Mira Mesa and just had dinner in Del Mar.

If it weren't in California I'd be happy to live here.

I will *never* live in California.

Jim Bell gets the question on the pension mess first. This question was from Kimberley Hunt. Bells plan is to move to Ch 9. Compares it to the Charger Ticket Guarantee mess in that both are based on "wishful thinking."

Richard Rider up now. Reminds folks he fought the Charger deal in court. Says the fundamental issue is the overly high salary 20-40% higher than private sector. Says pensions 2-5 times higher than private sector. What are we getting for our money. Says the labor unions aren't going to come to the table willingly. He talks of Yellow Pages test and starts doing competative bidding. Claims $200 million in potential savings. Donna up next...
