Bob Filner Begins His Work As Mayor

“Tonight, the state of our City can be compared to a patient who has faced a life-threatening disease, who has survived painful treatments and a lengthy recovery, who is now cautiously optimistic that the disease is behind him, but fully aware that the changing circumstances, at any time, can lead to a relapse.” ~San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, State Of The City Address, 1-15-13.
