\\nWe have lots of San Diego topics on the table including a federal fraud case in Poway, winners and losers in CA budget, the future of Coronado mayor Richard Bailey, Jim Desmond and Congestion Pricing on Freeways, and much more.

\\n
\\nIt\\u2019s Wednesday June 28, 2023. Here\\u2019s what John Riley thinks:

\\nPoway Social Security Fraud
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nA Poway man defrauded the Social Security system and the VA system of over $830,000 over 3 decades as he schemed to collect using his dead mother\\u2019s name. WTF? Crazy story. Social Security will not be solvent starting in 2034. Poway seems to be in the news for all of the wrong reasons.

\\n
\\nGavin Newsom\\u2019s CA Budget \\u2013 Winners & Losers (housing, climate, auto dealers, education)
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nCalifornia had to spend less than they wanted due to the pending deficit. The CA budget is loaded with examples of winners and losers. Isn\\u2019t that what government policies always do? Some win at the expense of others.  Some lose, so others can win. What ever happened to free trade and win-win outcomes?

\\nTragic Teen e-Bike Death in Encinitas Collision
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nWhile we mourn the loss of a young man in an e-bike accident, we look more broadly at the innovation in the e-bike market. Could this be a solution to help cities transition from suburban to urban? Do we have enough bike lanes?
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nCoronado Mayor Richard Bailey is Running for County Board of Supervisors
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nMaybe you have seen Richard Bailey\\u2019s social media and direct mail messages. He has a lot to say about \\u201cThe San Diego Comeback\\u201d. Why is a mayor of little ol\\u2019 Coronado commenting about issues beyond his city? Because he is running for office!  Plus we discuss some proposed tax increases under consideration.
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nJim Desmond and SANDAG Congestion Freeway Tax
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nThey are already planning to charge a per-mile tax for road usage. It\\u2019s not a bad idea, but it will be difficult to implement fairly. Now San Diego is considering a Congestion Tax for freeway usage to subsidize mass transit. What\\u2019s going on here? This is a tax on the many to benefit the few. Mass transit ridership is in decline, so why are we subsidizing it?
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nPaloma Aguirre, Imperial Beach, and the Problem of Tijuana Sewage
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nSeems this sewage problem in the South Bay has going on for decades, yet they still can\\u2019t fix it. Now the County Board of Supervisors has declared a state of emergency. San Diego congressional delegates are pushing President Biden to solve the problem. Meanwhile some beaches in Imperial Beach have been closed for a year and a half.

\\nSan Diego Mayor Todd Gloria: Corporate Welfare vs Road Repair
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nTodd Gloria flip flopped. City officials and business leaders lobbied for San Diego to host a design event. Todd Gloria vowed to ensure it was privately funded. Now he is singing a different tune. He wants to use taxpayer dollars to subsidize corporations in town in order to generate more tax revenue. Should the city be run as a business? Should those resources instead be used to repair roads?

\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nWe discuss San Diego homelessness, eminent domain, Poway\\u2019s Billion Dollar Bond, Steve Garvey as a California Senator, and this kerfuffle over Democrat vs Democratic.
