Judge Dick Murphy offers San Diego an alternative - Leadership With 2020 Vision. His vision for San Diego in the year 2020 includes: Controlling growth and development -- one million additional people in San Diego by 2020 is not inevitable. Freeways that are not parking lots -- by managing growth, building freeways/ mass transit, and controlling peak hour demand. Neighborhoods we can be proud of -- by providing well-maintained streets, parks, libraries, and underground utilities. America's Safest City -- by ensuring that San Diego has the lowest crime rate of any city in America. No downtown ballpark deal -- that drains the City treasury like the Charger ticket guarantee. Judge Murphy ha:s the education, experience, and integrity to implement this vision: • U.S. Army Veteran • University of Illinois B. A. • Harvard Business School M.B.A. • Stanford Law School J.

    June 7, 2006 the Honorable Alberto R. Gonzales Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington

    June 7, 2006 The Honorable Alberto R. Gonzales Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20530 Dear Attorney General Gonzales: Democracy 21 believes it is essential that you take all steps necessary to ensure that there is no political interference with the criminal investigations being conducted by the Public Integrity Section of the Justice Department and by U.S. Attorney offices in California concerning political corruption and potential criminal conduct by members of Congress. We strongly urge you to provide assurances to the public, and to the government prosecutors handling these cases, that you will not allow any political interference in these matters. These criminal investigations must be pursued wherever they lead, regardless of any political pressures that might be applied by members of Congress or others to influence the cases. Our concerns about possible political interference in these matters have only been heightened by the reactions of House Judiciary Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) and other House leaders to the Justice Department’s obtaining of records from the congressional office of Representative William Jefferson (D-LA), pursuant to a court-approved search warrant. Regardless of the constitutional issues that may or may not be involved in the search of Representative Jefferson’s office, the overreactions of Chairman Sensenbrenner and other House members to the execution of a court-approved search warrant has raised concerns that enforcement officials are being warned to stay away from investigations involving members of Congress. This has occurred at a time, furthermore, when the Public Integrity Section’s investigation into the Jack Abramoff corruption scandals has reached a critical stage.

And I want to welcome you here for the presentation of “A Proposal to Make Congress Work Again.” I want to begin by welcoming our panelists. We’re joined, in addition to our senior fellow, Scott Lilly, by Congressman David Obey, Congressman Barney Frank, Congressman David Price, Congressman Tom Allen, and Norm Ornstein. I think that people on both sides of the aisle will join me in saying, in addition to these senior members and Norm, these are people who care about Congress, who care about the House, who indeed care about our democracy. And I think, as the title of this panel implies, “Making Congress Work Again” – I think it is clear that things on Capitol Hill, and I think particularly in the House of Representatives, have gotten seriously off-track. That’s why I think this package that these senior members have pulled together is so vital.

    October 2003 Volume 34, Issue 4 Showley Brothers Candy Factory Makes a 280 Foot Historic Move! The Ballpark Warehouse agreement is one of SOHO's most significant preservation triumphs, made in 1999 between Centre City Development Corp., the Padres, the City of San Diego, the National Trust, and SOHO. The agreement includes a Preservation Advisory Group to monitor treatment of the historic structures including preservation, restoration, reuse and rehabilitation of eleven buildings threatened under the original ballpark plan. Among the agreement’s innovative solutions were incorporating the Western Metals Building into PETCO Park itself (a first in the nation) and relocation of the Showley Brothers Candy Factory. Built in 1924, the 3-story, 30,000 square foot, brick building produced candy until 1951. On September 22 the building was moved to make room for the "Park at the Park", although its final use has not yet been determined. Moving the Candy Factory was one of the most ambitious undertakings required by the agreement. The 100 foot by 100 foot, un-reinforced brick building, which weighs 3 million pounds, was moved on wheels one block east of its present site, requiring over 42 hydraulic dollies and an intricate cable winch (L-R) Mike Buhler, National Trust, Bruce Coons, Mayor Dick Murphy system. The ceremony was attended by San Diego Mayor, Dick Murphy, Padres president, Dick Freeman, and representatives of Centre City Development Corporation, East Village Association, National Trust, and Save Our Heritage Organisation. "Through the design and construction of PETCO Park, we’re committed not only to the redevelopment of downtown, but to preserving the historic integrity of the area," said Dick Freeman, Padres team president.

Skirting campaign finance laws. Adultery and sexual harassment. CREW has spent the past five years shining a spotlight on the extensive violations of the public trust committed by members of Congress. After publishing five “Most Corrupt Members of Congress” reports, it’s clear that the system for holding accountable those members of Congress who sacrifice the public interest for special interests is not working. Whether members take bribes, violate gift rules, or flout campaign finance regulations, those charged with enforcement look the other way. Over the past five years, CREW has uncovered more than 425 instances of potential violations of ethics rules by no fewer than 56 members of Congress. Of those, 37 members have never been investigated by any of the congressional ethics bodies, and 26 “Most Corrupt” members continue to serve in Congress. Because of that, this year, CREW is naming the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct and the Senate Select Committee on Ethics to its “Most Corrupt” list, for standing by and allowing members of Congress to break the rules with impunity.
