San Diego News Roundup - May 12, 2008

Posted by: Mighty Thor | 05/12/2008 8:42 AM

Today's top stories from sunny San Diego:

Francis cites his 'passion for success' -- SDUT

Two reports discuss face-lift for City Hall -- SDUT
San Diego's City Hall is in pretty bad shape, according to reports that looked at what it would take to bring the downtown civic complex to modern standards.

County's proposed budget $5.1 billion -- NCT
Despite a bad economy, county supervisors are scheduled to get their first look Tuesday at a proposed $5.1 billion budget for the 2008-09 fiscal year that is nearly a half-billion dollars larger than the current plan.

Two candidates seeking seats on the San Diego Superior Court are expected to answer questions from members of the public tonight at an open house in La Jolla.

San Diego Unified is poised to place an estimated $1.51 billion facilities bond on the November ballot, riding the coattails of an unprecedented decade-long makeover for local

Now don't assume I'm going off on a Rush Limbaugh-style rant over the richly lampoonable "Paris Hilton law."
