It was my distinct privilege  to honor one of the greatest fighter pilot ever recorded in military history and a true Hero -- Captain E. Royce Williams, during our Board of Supervisors meeting.

Electricity prices are out of control in California, most notably in San Diego County. A few weeks ago, I talked about the many reasons we are seeing our bills dramatically increase, but the fact remains California’s utility rates are consistently 30% higher than the national average.

It was my honor to recognize a special athlete today at the Board of Supervisors. Growing up, Blake Steinecke enjoyed playing baseball, hockey, and lacrosse while maintaining a 4.0 GPA at San Marcos High School.

A new state report was released last week that showed California spent nearly $10 billion on homelessness over a three-year period. This was released during the same week that the Downtown San Diego Partnership announced a record number of homeless people living on the streets.
