  • Proposed 2008-09 county budget respects adverse conditions, MSCP, firefighting included in funding

    Updated May 29, 2008

    An expected decline in state funding and in property tax and sales tax revenue will likely have an adverse impact on the County of San Diego after the passage of its 2008-09 budget. County staff and the San Diego County Board of Supervisors can’t predict the short-term economic future or the specific level of funding the state legislature will approve, so the county’s response was to prepare a budget anticipating such concerns. “The budget before you today is a measured response to economic conditions,” said Don Steuer,... Full story

  • Forgiveness

    Updated May 29, 2008

    Fr. Richard McAlear said: “The heart of forgiveness is that we have been forgiven first, thus we must forgive. We have to love ourselves enough to forgive others, ourselves, and God. It may sound strange, but without forgiveness, we are in emotional and spiritual bondage and not free to love intimately. Until we forgive, we are limited in our ability to share our essence with another. When we accept our forgiveness from God and decide to forgive, we are released from our emotional and spiritual bondage and we know we are l... Full story

  • Are you surprised?

    Updated May 29, 2008

    The First Amendment of the Constitution was never intended to cause a separation of Church and State. What does the First Amendment actually say? “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of a religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” The words separation, church and/or state are not mentioned in the First Amendment. In fact, the phrase ‘separation of church and state’ appears in no founding document! What was the intent of the First Amendment? This was clearly shown in the U.S. Congressional Records...

  • SPORTS EDITORIAL : Lopez, Valdez competing for 'Mexican Idol' status

    Updated May 29, 2008

    The San Diego Padres have sought to complement their proximity to the Mexican border with a star Mexican player who will attract Baja California residents and Mexican-Americans to the team’s stadium. To some extent Adrian Gonzalez has done that job, although Gonzalez isn’t a true Mexican as he was born in San Diego and returned to San Diego as a teenager after spending most of his childhood living in Tijuana. Fernando Valenzuela was past his prime when he played for the Padres, former Lake Elsinore Storm pitcher Oliver Per... Full story
