"I would ask City Beat to name one policy position of Mike Aguirre's that they think is a good one. Even one. As for La Prensa, who can blame them for being embarrassed? Not me. As for Kittle, if you bothered to revisit the circumstances surrounding each of these incidents, there is no question you'd concede that McGrath's offense was far worse than the others. But in all instances, we're talking about trifles."

"Mike Aguirre's best policy decision is that the law has to be followed. Following the law is not a policy decision."

"Mike Aguirre's best policy decisions are those related to his fight for open government. He has worked to shine a light on bad decisions like the pension deal, and the shameful secrecy of hiding the true impact of those decisions from the public. Without him it would have been business as usual in Enron by the Sea."

"Sunroad? Let's wait and see how the $40 million lawsuit against the City turns out before you decide Aguirre's policy is a good one. And, Aguirre is not a policy maker as City Attorney. Let him run for Mayor or City Council is he wants to be a policy maker."

"Ann. Based on what part of the Municipal Code, Law, or court ruling do you base your assertion that our elected City Attorney does not work for us, the taxpaying Citizens of San Diego? Do you think that instead the elected City Attorney is below the Mayor and City Council? Does the Mayor and the City Council have some kind of special powers that the elected City Attorney does not? As a public official elected directly by the Citizens of San Diego, our City Attorney work directly for us, the public... The public gets to decide if they want a City Attorney that works for them, or one that works for the Strong Mayor, the City Council, City Unions and Developers. FYI, Mayor Sanders and the City Council also work directly for us, the taxpaying public."

"S&P didn't give us back our credit card...in fact, it gave us the second lowest possible rating...an indictment of our city, not an endorsement. Frankly, we're still on the brink, paying until 2037 for billionaire's ballparks,and borrowing more just to patch up the sewers. The pension fiasco is still unresolved, and we're heading for a nastly economic downturn. We didn't build up a reserve in the good years, so how will we pay for the essentials? We can start by walking away from the illegally issued ballpark bonds."

"Winning the prize for stunning irrelevance -- aka "interesting theory" by Scott Lewis -- that wannabe journal for-the-tattooed called City Beat apparently suggests that City Attorney Mike Aguirre would be better suited to City Council! Spare us echoing such ridiculous opinion. Just because CB is mad at Mike for some reason and SLOP is in Scott Peters' corner doesn't mean we have to read nonsense."
