This was submitted as an idea to the Politifest 2012 Idea Tournament. VOSD members will vote on the best ideas and on Sept. 19 we’ll announce six contenders (Not a member? Join now to vote). At Politifest on Sept. 29, each of the six finalists will have five minutes to pitch their idea to a panel. The panel rates the ideas and two finalists advance. The crowd at Politifest will vote on a winner. The winner will receive an “idea-inspired” trophy custom-designed by former City Councilwoman Donna Frye. VOSD CEO Scott Lewis will also write about the winner’s idea.
Turn Sempra and San Diego Gas & Electric into public works. The public gets the “profits” and the safety measures are greatly improved. Contract with solar panel manufacturers and cut down on our carbon footprint. Increase the undergrounding of cables — which they have not done according to their mandate. The list goes on.
