Please RSVP and ask some questions about that #SDGE 20 year franchise contract negotiation, in light of the other contracts that have been completed recently that- upon investigation- are turning out to be corrupt and/or illegal on several levels. For example...

1/x
This latest @SDGE contract requires a 6-vote super majority to END the deal- not extend/approve it! This ties the hands of future Councilmembers in ways that the City Charter does not allow.

Also: San Diegans are still being charged the highest utility rates in California.

2/x
.@SDGE is making $1 million in profits every day on the backs of many of the lowest paid workers in the state.

Then there's the expensive city "lease" of 101 Ash Street- SDGE's former home

So please RSVP, join the discussion, and demand answers about these & other issues.

3/3
My question: How did deals for acquiring properties at 101 Ash St (negotiated/approved by Mayor/Council) and Residence Inn (negotiated by SDHousing Commission) avoid legal review, resulting in excessive payments over realistic property values, and illegal fees/commissions?

Not sure who needs to hear this, but:
On July 11 #SanDiego will host a #Pride march and
the theme is #Resiliency

Related: I've learned a person who harassed/threatened me in 2019- until a court issued a restraining order against him- will likely be part of this event.

1/x Image
It's "likely" because he's been hired by an LGBTQ advocacy organization

Their Exec Director was not aware he's had 3 restraining orders in the last 15 yrs: One for harassment, two for #domesticviolence

I often relive this abuse & harassment since it happened in my home

2/x
I had wanted to attend the march w/friends- But the more I thought of being in public, surrounded by others who have been traumatized in recent years, the less appealing it became.

As a survivor: It's hard feel safe or be "resilient" when an abuser is marching with me.

This. Is. Horrifying.

Inside the Capitol siege: How barricaded lawmakers and aides sounded urgent pleas for help as police lost control washingtonpost.com/politics/insid…
When I was Assembly presiding officer I worked closely w/our sergeant at arms. And when I introduced the bill to end Open Carry I had to travel with armed escorts to public events. There is no excuse for this type of breakdown of security in a professional law-enforcement body
This reminds me of an event in 2017 #ProudBoys began harassing attendees at an event in #SanDiego at the @SanDiegoCounty Admin Bldg. Deputies stood & watched so I called @SDSheriff Bill Gore on his cellphone & asked him: Why are your Deputies letting Proud Boys incite fights? 3/

Tough choice: @GavinNewsom and @JoeBiden speaking at the same time...
Going w/@GavinNewsom budget talk:

"There's no better investment than #teacher preparation."

You have my attention...

2/
Adding funds for Special Ed, Early Childhood and Preschool- "Historic investments".

Of the $13B in deferrals $9.2B will be paid off- if #CaLeg adopts proposal

$2B to support reopening schools for in-person teaching

Go on... #Budget2021

1/A thread re:the appointing a new Secretary of State to replace @AlexPadilla4CA & the likely problems if @GavinNewsom selects @LorenaSGonzalez

History: I was in the Assembly when Kevin Shelley resigned & @Schwarzenegger chose Bruce McPherson to replace him
2/ Kevin resigned after people "accused Shelley of abusive behavior toward his staff."

This followed the recall of Gray Davis. Republicans were happy to topple another state constitutional officer.

A similar "domino effect" could happen w/@LorenaAD80
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_She…
3/ We've seen @LorenaSGonzalez draw the ire of corporations after #AB5 -> to Prop 22

We've also seen her conduct unprecedented campaign money laundering, transferring corporate funds to her husband- @SupFletcher - when he ran for Supervisor in 2018.

1/The response of #SanDiego Mayor @Kevin_Faulconer when it comes to #homelessness and/or reacting to people protesting his policies that increasingly criminalize families who are #homeless : Call the police

Now: he wants to be Governor of #California
2/But @Kevin_Faulconer has badly mismanaged #ProjectRoomkey a @Cal_OES program to provide emergency #COVID funds & hotel rooms for people at risk of #coronavirus

#SanDiego is LAST in CA to use these funds to provide safe, private, secure housing to unsheltered San Diegans
3/ Instead: under @Kevin_Faulconer the @RTFHSD @sdhousingcommision @SDConventionCtr has been re-directing funding to keep the Convention Center operating as a shelter for about 900 people- at a cost of $5.7 million/month

1/ We have been seeing this in #SanDiego in recent years: "Proud Boys" "Bordertown Patriots" clashed with protesters as @SDSheriff deputies watch- but failed to intervene

"Patriots" used the Sheriff's street address on social media pages promoting events

washingtonpost.com/politics/as-cl…
2/ A screen image of the "Border Patriots" group, showing a variation of the #SDsheriff address as their own.

In June, a group claimed to have "permission" from the Sheriff's office to be out after curfew to help with "protecting personal property." kpbs.org/news/2020/jun/…
3/ The original #KPBS article referred to these armed civilians as "would-be vigilantes."

When it was pointed out that their actions in #Santee made them "actual" vigilantes- they updated their report.
