THE STENCH IN THE CITIES
Hasn’t gotten much attention, but the political scandal in San Diego is huge. Joe Gandelman has a good round-up of news following Mayor Dick Murphy’s resignation last week. Two city councilmen face trial this week on corruption charges that stemmed from an FBI investigation into a local strip club. The city is grappling with a $1.5 billion pension shortfall and plans to lay off 300 city employees. What a mess.
San Diego blogger Citizen Smash has more.
Meanwhile, the Loudest Cricket hopes Detroit’s hapless mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick, rides out of town next.
Maybe he can pick up fellow Time magazine worst mayor winner John Street in Philadelphia on the way out.
