Morning Report: Death of a School Board Reform Measure

Supporters said the measure would allow the board to escape the influence of politics. But others thought it was an attempt to disenfranchise voters and muzzle labor.

County election officials found that the number of valid signatures was a few thousand short of the required 93,085. For background, check our extensive coverage of the proposed measure.

The firm that helped run the petition drive also failed to collect enough valid signatures to put a city measure supported by Councilman Carl DeMaio on the ballot last year. Election officials nixed it after finding way too many duplicated signatures in a sample.

City Still Lags on Money Monitoring

How do you know if the city's finances are on the up and up? One way is to look at its audited financial statements. If they're available, that is. They're seven months late . The delay comes not long after a decade in which the city lost the confidence of investors by bungling the timing behind a seemingly routine task.

The situation this time around is hardly as grim as it was when there were backlogs upon backlogs, and the city hopes to finish its work soon. Still, this delay has costs.

Arise, Redevelopment, Arise!

As expected, it looks like the city will continue to support urban renewal projects with taxpayer money that's funneled to it through redevelopment. It just won't have nearly as much money as it did before.

Mayor Jerry Sanders declared yesterday that he wants to move forward and buy into a redevelopment system offered by the state, even though the city's urban renewal projects will lose $70 million this year and $16 million annually in the future. This is, he said, "better than pulling the plug on it all together."

He added that the city will support, but won't join, an expected lawsuit that will challenge the state over its changes to the way redevelopment works .

Meet the Pricey University President

As we mentioned on Saturday, the state's university and college systems continue to crumble, the new president of San Diego State is expected to make $350,000 , a third more than the man he's replacing, plus another $50,000. He'll also live in university housing and get $1,000 monthly as car allowance; it's not clear where he'll do $12,000 worth of driving over a year. Tuition rates, meanwhile, are expected to go up by 12 percent.
