Thanks for the tip on the medical examiners data dashboard. It would be awesome to get the same transparency from local government on campaign finance AND on the GPLET/Rio Nuevo tax giveaway deals. Reporters and the people shouldn't have to dig around to find the facts. Wasn't there a plan to fold local elections into the state campaign finance reporting system?
Not sure why journalists don't cover the fact that Joaquin Murrieta Park has been lacking a swimming pool for years. Kids on the west side have had nowhere to cool off for well over a decade. Ward 1 politicians should have been apologizing. And they can cut out the self-congratulations at this late date.
Some years ago, I went to search city campaign donation records. A bund of mismatched ledgers were in a closet and I was "allowed" to look through them. The disorganization was so purposeful. I was looking for particular street and road repair contractors' donations to Council members such that they were able to get protection from noise ordinances. Is there an electronic database yet?
"Number of the day" seems like it'd be a fun little stinger!

Spot on! It is a great park that has been neglected.

Good job today bringing a topic we didn't know we didn't know! Thanks.
