 The North County Transit District is getting $2 million federal dollars to install solar power at various facilities. This money will create jobs in North County. The incumbent Congressman, Brian Bilbray from the 50th District, voted against the bill authorizing these funds. Popular Solana Beach Mayor Dave Roberts has thrown his hat into the race to unseat Bilbray. He and Francine Busby, who lost three times to Bilbray, will compete for the Democratic nomination.
Del Mar Mayor Crystal Crawford is drawing support around the county for her race to unseat incumbent Assemblyman Martin Garrick, one of the Republicans responsible for holding up passage of the state budget for the last few years. Garrick advocates even more cuts on top of the cuts now being felt by schools, colleges, health services, parks, and local government. |
