San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders and six City Councilmembers have made voters an offer [in November]: approve a sales-tax increase and they promise to do 10 things to reduce city expenditures. They apparently think that we are not aware they were elected to do these things and are currently being paid to do them. Since they say they need a bribe of a tax increase to do the things promised, I suppose that means they will not do them if they don’t get the bribe! I say that we should make them a counteroffer. “NO” on the tax increase and a PROMISE that if the 10 things aren’t completed to our satisfaction by the time they run for re-election or another office that we will end their political careers by voting for the opponents at each and every opportunity.
