Hello
John,
** City Hall is a mess.
------------------------------------------------------------
But the extent of this mess isn’t even known, because a culture of deception, lies, and backroom deal-making keeps major problems behind closed doors.
I serve on the City Council, and even the Council is kept in the dark about many of these dirty secrets … and it’s costing our taxpayers MILLIONS of dollars!

** Here are some issues from just the last few weeks:
------------------------------------------------------------
* The City Council found out from a warning notice posted at 101 Ash Street that the $72 million city-owned building I said the City shouldn’t purchase has a dangerous and costly asbestos problem ([link removed]) .
* An audit revealed that the Mayor awarded a multi-million-dollar contract ([link removed]) to a company that is supposed to regulate short-term rentals, without even bothering to inform the Council.
* Auditors also revealed that THE CITY SPENT $2 MILLION to pick up trash ([link removed]) at 16,000 properties being used FOR ILLEGAL short-term rental businesses.
* An investigative news report revealed that the police department has failed to properly test rape kits, despite a half-million supplementary allocation intended to do just that. Read my statement here ([link removed]) .
** City administration is either incompetent, corrupt, or both. We desperately need transparency and leadership at City Hall.

That’s why I demanded the audit of the water department ([link removed]) that revealed major billing errors when I first joined the Council.
That’s why I stood with a fellow Councilmember to demand openness ([link removed]) in the City’s negotiations regarding SDSU West.
That’s why I’m running for Mayor.
I’ve been talking to thousands of San Diego neighbors and they agree:
** We need a Mayor who is a problem solver, not a politician!
------------------------------------------------------------
** But to take on the political insiders, I need YOUR support.
