San Diego Street Repair, Funding, and Reforms

There are many public outcries and complaints concerning the City of San Diego's management of its street repair backlog. The huge scope demands broad-scale rethinking of repair and maintenance of this vital community asset.

San Diego Needs a Secure Water Source

The City of San Diego's water supply is facing unprecedented threats. Nearly 90% of San Diego's water is imported from the Colorado River or the San Francisco Bay-Delta region of Northern California. The Colorado River basin is in the eighth year of a drought, and storage there is down to 50% of capacity.

San Diego's Unfair Pension Cripples the City's Finances

San Diego taxpayers have a right to know about the financial crisis they face. The liability for future pension benefits at the San Diego City Employees' Retirement System (SDCERS) is nearly $8 billion. Several hundred million dollars of the underlying pension benefits were not paid for or earned. This report is written to make certain that San Diegans understand the harsh financial reality they face, with the hope that they will support effective action to reduce their looming debt burden.
