This week, President Bush and Democratic lawmakers exchanged verbal jabs after the House and Senate passed military funding bills that called for a specific timeline for withdrawal from Iraq. Who will back down first in this standoff between the Legislative and Executive branches of government?
Also, San Diego leaders are getting creative when it comes to funding development projects. If the taxpayers don't want to foot the bill, how can local lawmakers get their building projects off the ground?
And, the controversy over City Attorney Mike Aguirre's request for a warrant to search the offices of Sunroad Enterprises continues to be a hot topic around San Diego City Hall. Should Aguirre have the freedom to act independently, or does the City Council need to tighten the reigns?
