San Diego’s State Of The City
“Politics is the art of controlling your environment” ~ Hunter S. Thompson
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.
Amazingly awesome full photo gallery HERE and KPBS post with video of entire staged event HERE.
