2005 Opinion of City Attorney Aguirre regarding open government:

"Disclosure Of Officials’ Calendars And Official Writings Under The California Public Records Act"





Well said Michael!!!

Thanks for keeping track of important issues Bob. You are a "Torrey Hawk Eye.

Oh and can we get T-shirts?

Recent email from Mayoral Candidate Barbara Bry:



Barbara Bry asked:



Here's your answer Barbara:

Friday (February 14th, 2020) I attended the San Diego Mayoral and 50th Congressional Debates.

There are more debates coming. See list in next post.

this has nothing to do with TPGP or its issues, other than the deaf ears of council, butt......

I am reposting this to show another mans passion (Matt Valenti) about "another" very important story.

Election season is the only time we get a chance to hold politicians accountable for their actions.

Tonight, Bryan and I used trusty "Little Hawk" as a prop to call attention to the ongoing problems at Torrey Pines Gliderport.

We spoke to a number of Mayoral candidates ... including one of my favorites: Tasha Williamson:


Another favorite of mine is Rich Riel. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of Rich with Little Hawk. I'll put that on my "to do" list for future events.

I also spoke with the disgusting Todd Gloria. I have the whole exchange on video, but until I can post the video, here's the full text of what was said:


Remember that Todd Gloria is well aware of the issue (that's how he knew my name without me saying it). Todd Gloria was City Councilman during years of abuses and accidents. He was Council President during years of abuses and accidents. And he was Mayor for the better part of a year during accidents and abuses. In all that time, and in all those positions, Todd Gloria did nothing.

Now Todd is running for Mayor and he admits that he has no plan and no answers. Gee, neither Rich Riel nor Tasha Williamson have ever been a Councilmember or Council President or Interim Mayor, and they both have plans. How come Todd Gloria has no plan?

Eventually we all ended up in the "standing room only" La Jolla Community Center with 6 candidates (left to right):

• Tasha Williamson
• Scott Sherman
• Rich Riel
• Todd Gloria
• Barbara Bry
• Gita Applebaum Singh

Here are my written questions that I ended up asking verbally at the microphone. I had intended my questions for the whole panel, but for some reason the moderator only allowed Barbara Bry to answer:


Bry dodged the question and referred me to "Real Estate Assets".

The big spender of the evening was Councilmember Scott Sherman with this gaudy rolling advertisement that he left parked outside all evening:

It turned out to be a super evening with lots of new contacts. I am very grateful Bryan was there to help with Little Hawk and to be my "wingman" in many conversations. Thanks Bryan.

Here's the video that Bob took while talking to Todd Gloria.

Thanks for posting that video Margie!!  

I also attended the Tuesday evening event sponsored by LAPA. I submitted a written question, but the moderator's didn't ask it. Here's a video frame of Tasha Williamson giving a great speech:



Tasha always speaks from the heart.

After the event I followed up with Barbara Bry about her earlier advice to meet with Real Estate Assets about the Gliderport problems. I asked what she would do if Real Estate Assets refused to meet. Barbara's response was essentially that we'd cross that bridge when we got to it.

So far, I've called Real Estate Assets Division on Tuesday the 18th (once) and Wednesday the 19th (twice). I left messages requesting a meeting in all cases, and in all cases I mentioned that Barbara Bry had made the suggestion to meet. So far no meeting opportunities have been offered.
