I’ve been writing about the lack of funded opposition against making the city of San Diego’s strong mayor form of government permanent.
Well, those in favor have plenty of funding.
Campaign disclosure reports show that strong mayor proponents have spent $318,818.23 since November, and still have $45,489.62 in cash on hand. Filings made after last week’s deadline show an extra $77,300 in donations made.
