Another "Catch-22" created by are brilliant Officials representing the Citizens of San Diego.

What's really going on: the mayor created a redundant ethics group in his own image, he then seeks to eliminate those ethics groups not in his image. He solves the redundancy issue and restricts government after bloating it temporarily. He looks like he's streamlining government while achieving the primary motive -- control and rule the supposedly independent ethics function of the City of San Diego. This is strong mayor abuse, and is one of a number of other significant abuses that are corrupt and unfair -- abuses he does not want investigated by the Public Integrity Unit or the Ethics Commission.

It appears, as someone who looks into the fish bowl called City Hall, that the bottom feeders have left the bottom and are now trying to battle with those who swim in the water above for the small particles of food being dropped by us, the taxpayer. The Mayor, in his usual manner, created an additional buffer to protect him and his office from blame if something or someone were to be put in a bad light. By putting the three redundant levels of government out for BPR, the Mayor will no doubt shout he is "cutting" without again sharing with the tax paying public that he beefed up government before he cut so really we will be where we were before he actually took office. Funny how some things never change. Is anyone paying attention out there???

Good for the Ethics Commission. Unlike Sanders' Office of Ethics and Integrity, the Ethics Commission actually contributes something, and they should be independent from the corruption within the mayor's office.

Nice try Mayor Sanders. Create a duplicate office then try and re-engineer (i.e. combine) the existing and independent Ethics Commission into the bogus and wasteful office created by you... also the one that answers to you. Clever, but not clever enough. Thankfully, some people in the existing Ethics Commission (the real and independent one) practice ethical behavior and refused your 'invitation'.

What has the Ethics and Integrity office done? What are they supposed to be doing? I hope they are investigating the Mayor's Office because that is where the "fish bowl" Sparky mentioned is particularly murky!
