We have a lot of juicy topics to discuss on this week’s episode of the VOSD Podcast.

Is Congressman Darrell Issa going to run … in Texas? Will corporate backing of a trash tax repeal push forward? Who’s beefing with who?

A few weeks ago, Issa insisted he was unfazed by Californians’ recent vote to redraw congressional districts and said he would continue to represent them. By Californians … he may have meant Texans. We get into this whirlwind of a story, as well as some Issa lore.

AirBNB and former Coronado Mayor Richard Bailey are considering launching a measure to repeal San Diego’s controversial new trash tax. Our hosts will also talk about how this repeal effort may be part of Bailey’s plans to throw his hat in the ring for another local office.

Beef Week is also in full swing, and the reporters are here to spill the tea.

Bella Ross shares their beef with the City of San Diego over the lack of public benches.

Jakob McWhinney brought us a controversial piece about why Zonies may still be disliked, but the root of that resentment may be changing.

Lastly, South County reporter Jim Hinch fills us in on the beef between Chula Vista Mayor John McCann and City Councilmember Michael Inzunza — and how it’s distracting from city business.
