Today's top stories from sunny San Diego:
Bush Enters Mayor's Race -- VoSD
Republican blog Red County San Diego has this mailer from mayoral candidate Steve Francis that attempts to tie Mayor Jerry Sanders to President George W. Bush, with the help of a blown-up photo of the mayor and the president together.
Mike Aguirre, Lawyer -- VoSD
Assessment of Michael Jules Aguirre's legal career takes place, for the most part, at either end of a spectrum that spans from utter contempt to rapturous approval.
Tax and Bond Measures Face November Collision Course -- VoSD
A proposal to lasso more funding for San Diego schools would likely cost the average homeowner less than a proposed $1.51 billion bond slated for the same November ballot.

Governor's climate goals face hostile environment -- SDUT
Powerful state senators from both parties are challenging Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposed spending spree on selected state programs to address global warming.
College district's lack of haste makes waste -- SDUT
The San Diego Community College District routinely paid more than its appraisals for property needed to expand campuses because it didn't act quickly enough when real estate prices were skyrocketing.
Campaign to cut use of water heating up -- SDUT
County residents appear to be partly heeding warnings about conservation amid the region's shrinking water supply, but the true test will start now as temperatures soar to summer levels.
