MORE STORIES BY THIS AUTHOR
  • San Diego City Councilmember Carl DeMaio has been in office one year. We ask him about the accomplishments of the year past, the current and on-going budget crisis, his views on outsourcing city services, his relationship with the Mayor and what he hopes to see for the city in 2010.
  • Tony Young, San Diego City Councilmember for the 4th District, talks about the City Council's accomplishments in the year just past and the difficult decisions and declining service on tap for 2010, as the city's budget continues to shrink.

  • In the first of interviews scheduled with all eight San Diego City Council members at the close of the calendar year, we take stock of the city's accomplishments of 2009, issues as yet unresolved, and upcoming problems in 2010, including severe budget cuts.
  • What assistance does the Marine Corps offer to deploying and returning Marines and their families with issues such as PTSD, domestic violence, anger management and financial stress?
