The 9 Bad Bills Were Approved by the Senate and Assembly. We Can Kill the Bills in July/August!
Each bad bill will be heard by just ONE committee in the “second house” before going to its “floor” for a vote in Aug. The legislature is doing a rush-job, but we can stop these awful laws.

Comet NEOWISE will come closest to Earth after sunset tonight, passing at a safe distance of 64 million miles. By the end of July, it will fade as it moves away from the sun and Earth, heading back to remote parts of the solar system.Sounds like it's in the northwestern sky after sunset, but it's been cloudy at the coast the last few evenings. So you probably want to head inland a little bit.
Here are some tips to help you find it in the night sky before it vanishes.
Comet NEOWISE is so bright that it can be seen with the naked eye, but that doesn’t mean you’ll get a perfect view. Looking up from a dark place away from city lights about 90 minutes after sunset, “it looks like a fuzzy star with a little bit of a tail,” according to Space.com. Add a pair of binoculars or a small telescope, and the comet and its tail will be easier to spot.
Former Councilman Mark Muir –Muir probably didn’t do anything illegal, but it’s extremely sleazy. He apparently stayed under financial reporting limits to stay anonymous in hiring a known dirtbag to send out anonymous robocalls pushing dubious allegations against Phil Graham. And he didn’t stop the robocalls after those allegations had been officially discredited.
FIRST RESPONSE: Did not directly admit nor deny involvement — offered newspaper articles and union mailers as “his” source of information. Answer to a direct question about his involvement is pending.
SECOND RESPONSE: Muir argues that the source data used doesn’t constitute libel but would not answer direct question about his involvement nor about the veracity of Moser’s claim. Question re-asked. Answer to a direct question about his involvement is pending.
A San Diego man who’s facing a nearly $10 million fine for spoofing political robocalls defended himself Friday by identifying some of the people who he says hired him.Moser has a long and sordid history in San Diego politics, and is known in Encinitas for profiting off of lawsuits over campaign filing errors.
Kenneth Moser, a local marketing professional, told the Federal Communications Commission that he was working with relatives of Maureen Muir to help her bid for the 76th Assembly District race in 2018 against a fellow Republican, Phil Graham.
Two weeks before the primary, a woman accused Graham of battery. Despite the fact Graham was cleared of wrongdoing, Moser amplified the allegation by referencing it in a voice message to thousands of potential voters and by disguising the true source of the calls.

In the exhibits, Moser attached a short email in which Mark Muir wrote: “Under $800 … To Republicans.” The former elected official couldn’t be reached for comment.
Moser said his client wanted to remain anonymous, so they tried to take advantage of a loophole — as far as they saw it — in state law that doesn’t require the disclosure of independent expenditures under $1,000.

The developer of the Goodson project in Olivenhain has announced a virtual CPP meeting on July 23, 2019. The project intends to pack 283 for-lease apartments in 6.95 gross acres to create the tallest building in Encinitas.We still have no idea if this is only the developer's opening gambit and he hopes a scaled-back version will placate the neighbors, or if he really wants to build this monstrosity now that Mayor Blakespear and friends have demolished the Prop A height limits.
