San Diego’s tourism leaders claim a roughly 2 1/2-month battle with Mayor Bob Filner over marketing dollars is already affecting the industry’s bottom line.

In the latest edition of Fact Check TV, Scott Lewis and I vetted Kapich’s claim and took a closer look at Filner’s seemingly contradictory plan to add an excise tax on medical marijuana dispensary sales.
