There is a knock-down, drag-out fight coming between unions and the taxpayers in the City of San Diego – and in particular between the voice of the taxpayers, Carl DiMaio, and the voice of the unions, Marty Emerald.
The fight is over the implementation of Proposition C, passed overwhelmingly by the taxpayers in 2006, requiring that many San Diego City services be put out to private bid by private and public entities.
So far, not ONE such bid has been performed!
So, Carl is trying to place on the November ballot ANOTHER local San Diego proposition that will require the City to implement what the first proposition told the city to do.
I am not exactly certain why it takes the will of the people to be expressed twice for it to be carried out once, but that is the way it appears to be in a City Council dominated by Democrats beholden top the unions that opposed the first proposition and now oppose the second.
The unions have had a victory of sorts by the Council foot-dragging in keeping their employees employed when they should have been either replaced or had to bid their wages against lower-priced private labor.
The losers are the taxpayers…but then they do not have the majority of the San Diego City Council and the unions do.
