KPBS has a planned power outage, due to set up of our new backup generator, scheduled for Saturday, May 18th from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., impacting our live stream, FM and TV.
Not news about the Union-Tribune. I canceled my subscription the day the Iraq War began (thanks to their editorials) and have never looked back. Can't believe they are still in business.
I like that Mayor Filner is standing up to the tourism industry in San Diego. I worked for them for many years and so did many of my friends. The industry has, over the years, gotten way out of control, firing everybody and anybody who didn't serve their purpose of more more more. I am especially impressed that the Mayor wants to see the backbone of our tourism industry, the workers, receive a living wage. Also, that he would like more of the revenues to go to public services, like maybe fire protection that we desperately need. I don't claim to know all the particulars in this dispute, just my perspective coming from the San Diego tourism industry and all that I have seen and experienced first hand.
I currently have no opinion on whether it is a good idea or not to implement Laura's Law in San Diego County. But years ago I was a medical transcriptionist in psychiatry for the County and also for UCSD, and I must say all those doctors and nurses were dedicated and compassionate people who did the best they could to balance patient rights with society's needs. That said, I don't believe most mentally ill individuals are a threat to themselves or others.
