voice of san diego: Mayor’s Budget Solution Not a Mystery to All
By Rani Gupta
When Mayor Jerry Sanders announced his spending proposal this week, one of the saviors was a reserve fund that the mayor said could be tapped to cover nearly $18 million in expenses.
“It’s something I didn’t know existed,” Sanders said Wednesday. “I can only speak for myself.”
But the fund has been disclosed in the city’s annual financial reports and was well known among the city’s finance officials, including Chief Financial Officer Mary Lewis.
“This has been out there, talked about,” Lewis said. “The financial people know about it. The policy people wouldn’t know about it.”

SDNN: California senate votes to let harbor seals stay
By Alyssa Ramos, La Jolla Village News
The state senate voted 30-4 Thursday to approve legislation aimed at blocking the court-ordered removal of a colony of harbor seals from Children’s Pool in La Jolla.

Attorneys representing animal activists and ocean users have battled for years over the intended use of La Jolla’s Children’s Pool, mainly regarding a harbor seal colony that converted the beach into their rookery.
