Superior Court Judge Timothy Taylor's Tentative Ruling

In his tentative ruling, Taylor noted the City of San Diego had failed to meet the legal standard to have SoccerCity removed.

On June 18, the U.S. Supreme Court decided the “gerrymander” case. In Gill v. Whitford, 2018 U.S. LEXIS 3692, 138 S.

San Diego, CA. - Certainly not a surprise to those who keep a close eye on these efforts over the years, the San Diego Unified School District will ask taxpayers to approve a $3.5 billion bond to improve school safety, technology and infrastructure this coming November.

If the bond passes by at least 55 percent of voters, it will add 6 cents to property tax bills for every $100 of assessed valuation.

How big of a bond is it? $3.5 billion represents the third largest bond request in the district’s history. The district, in the last 10 years, has made three bond requests.

Getting an accurate count of how much Americans spend on healthcare every year and the specific items they purchase, like prescription drugs, is tricky.

Think about it like this. If you are a small business owner or anyone else who itemizes their expenses, you have tough calls to make.

Over the next century San Diego’s population will double to 3 million in the city and 7 million in the county. How will all these people — our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren — enjoy our most sacred natural resource — our waterfronts — if we continue to wall them off from public access?

San Diego Bay is now almost completely inaccessible. Think about it: where can you dangle your feet in the bay?

Mission Bay is rapidly following suit.

The odds are stacked dramatically in your favor that your child does not have Jordan’s Syndrome. The exception to that is if your child has unexplained developmental disabilities. And if your child has developmental disabilities, you would like her to be diagnosed with Jordan’s Syndrome. Because that would put Joe Lang on your team.
