Today's top stories from sunny San Diego:
District attorney talks up third term -- SDUT
Despite a stretch of imploded prosecutions and courtroom setbacks, District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis isn't hunkering down.
Radio power grab? -- SDUT
'Fairness Doctrine' talk has GOP paranoid
Proposal would transfer tax revenue from zoo to park -- SDUT
With the city aching for cash and the San Diego Zoo enjoying success with donors, one San Diego resident is pushing to shift city property taxes earmarked for the zoo over to benefit Balboa Park in general.
Council filing deadline approaches -- NCT
People who want a shot at being a member of the Carlsbad City Council can file to run for election starting July 14.
Millions Could Be Earmarked for Downtown School -- VoSD
Fran Pillersdorf has seen more and more kids being ferried from aisle to aisle at the grocery store since she moved downtown 13 years ago, her two sons in tow. But over the years many of the schools seem to have disappeared: a private school that closed, a nearby charter school that moved away, another that planned to open downtown, and now won't. She was unimpressed with the only public elementary school.
Baffling McCain -- SDUT
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain's recent announcement that he is now open to drilling for oil off the nation's coasts prompted a predictable backlash from environmentalists who said this proved the Arizona senator had only been posing as a green true believer all along.
