Politics Report: New SANDAG Chief, the Quote Machine

It wasn’t that long ago we were, uh, not having the best time with SANDAG. A tunnel instead: “If you want to build transit, build it where people live and work. That’s why I don’t think SANDAG is ready to go for a sales tax measure any time soon simply because we need to do the work first.” Cool with being fired: “You know, I might get into trouble, but I’ll tell you this, the worst thing is not being fired. That’s OK.” ??? Interlude ??? Ken Stone at Times of San Diego did a piece about how Andrew Keatts got the story of four men accusing Kevin Beiser of sexual misconduct and assault and a bizarre claim talk show host Carl DeMaio made about it. ??? End Interlude ??? Republicans in San Diego are having the opposite of a moment. He worked in politics until 2001 and then joined the Marines at age 27. About the deal between the city and SDSU in Mission Valley: “There is some concern that this is an adversarial process but SDSU West still has to uphold its side of the bargain and make sure it pays fair value for the land.” Batten’s consultant … will be Tom Shepard. Leventhal’s consultant … Will be Stephen Puetz, who was chief of staff for Faulconer and … worked for SoccerCity and Measure E. Yes, I am hinting there’s a kind of SDSU West vs. SoccerCity subtext here but I have no more evidence for it than that so I decided to recklessly just float it out there because this is my column and I can do whatever I want, especially when Andy is doing work on an apparently more important story than this, the most prestigious and important political newsletter sent out of downtown San Diego every Saturday. And the group decided to endorse Republican Steve Vaus for the county supervisor seat, District 2, currently held by Dianne Jacob. But the club has not picked a candidate in the San Diego City Council District 5 race.
