Donna Frye is our city's savior. The last line in her follow up tells it all "Just wanted to make sure you knew how much money was involved" Unlike our Mayor she gives us the news with our PR posh or sensorship. I sure hope those that did not vote for her the first time around are kicking themselves. I am proud of service to the public and thank her for caring about the people and not money sucking developers. I bet if the mayor wanted to name a park after her she'd say no....please just take care of the homeless and unfortunate that can't care for themselves!

Thank you, Donna Frye, for your diligence and persistence with things like this. To my way of seeing things, $600K is a whole lot of money, especially when it's taxpayer dollars. I see on a previous posting on this site related to this topic, one or more of the commenters were characterizing you as being 'rude' or 'abrasive'. But, even if you were/are any of those things, I don't care. It's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease, and I'm glad you step up to take on that role. Excellent work!!!

Congratulations, Donna. The ratepayers of San Diego, especially the city dwellers, don't know how much they owe to you for correcting this obvious looting of our wallets under the guise of un-confusing the account holders. And where was Jim Madaffer while this was going on? He was in China, on a tour with his employer-to-be, the League of California Cities. Since he's termed out and apparently un-electable locally (too much baggage), he's headed north, where he hopes they won't catch on to his financial shenanigans or look into his checkered past. Apparently, they don't care about the truth nor does Jim, as long as there's a paycheck involved. At least we won't have to hear his self-serving rhetoric much longer; so there is a pony in there somewhere.
