I rarely read the newspapers, unless the are lottsa lingerie ads, with lottsa photos.
I don't own a television, nor a radio, so I am very clueless in San Diego regarding current events, especially political events.
I did happen to catch a news clip about Donna Frye's objections to the closed door sessions that the San Diego City Council seem to favor -
I attended one of those closed door meetings last night, and now I understand why the council is so adamant about keeping their doors tightly locked:
The proposals listed below, all passed with unanimous approval by the city council:
Requested by Friends of the Airport, Special Interest Group:
- The new San Diego International Airport is gonna be built, on a 5 mile long, man made island, that will parallel the coastline from Boomer to Torrey Pines.
- The new airport will be built right at the edge of the La Jolla Canyon [approximately 1 mile offshore], and there will be 3, 15 lane bridges constructed for airport access.
- One bridge will connect the airport from the La Jolla Shuffleboard Clubhouse, another will connect from Scripps Pier, the third from Indian Bath Rock.
Requested by Friends of La Jolla Shores, Special Interest Group:
- The parking lot at The Shores will have a full time [24 hours per day, 7 days per week] parking lot attendant, if you wanna park at The Shores, it's gonna cost you a cool $25 per day - NO EXCEPTIONS!
