When the city of San Diego was trying to raise the sales tax, they trotted out the police chief to warn of the consequences of voting NO.
What they refuse to address is waste. My former neighbor works for the city of San Diego and from what I could tell hardly ever put in a full day (he was usually home by early afternoon on those rare occasions I was home during the work week.) Yet he still got every other Friday off from supposedly working a 9 hour schedule.
