Mt. Soledad Memorial to hold Veterans Day Ceremony
By Staff and Wire Reports | Times of San Diego
The Mt. Soledad Memorial Association will salute all of the nation’s veterans while paying special recognition to the 250-year histories of the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps this weekend.
Their public Veterans Day Ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 8, at the Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial.
This year’s event, titled “Honoring a Legacy: 250 Years at Sea, on Land, and in the Air,” will unify this national milestone with the deep, local history the two branches share with the San Diego region.
Midway’s Ambitious Redevelopment Plan Is Now a Massive Test of What State Housing Laws Allow
By Will Huntsberry | Voice of San Diego
Midway Rising is an ambitious plan to build 4,254 new apartments, 14 acres of public space and a new Sports Arena on 49 acres of city-owned land in the center of the Midway District. That won’t entirely transform the whole area overnight, or maybe ever, but it is currently the city’s only hope for bringing housing and vitality to one of San Diego’s most soul-crushing neighborhoods.
Recently, an appeals court seemed to deal a death blow to the project when it overturned a decision by city voters to remove Midway’s height limit of 30 feet. But surprisingly, the developers behind Midway Rising say that isn’t the case at all. They say state law provides all the legal ground they need to go forth with the massive multi-billion-dollar project.
Now that Midway’s 30-foot height limit is back on the table, Midway Rising promises to be – both literally and in principle – the largest test of the state’s density bonus laws in all of California.

By Brooke Binkowski | Times of San Diego
California Republicans have already filed a federal lawsuit to try to stop the results of the statewide redistricting effort, calling it “unconstitutional” and “racial gerrymandering.”
Newport Beach-area law firm Dhillon Law Group partner Mike Columbo and counsel Mark Meuser announced Wednesday morning that they had filed the lawsuit on behalf of California Assemblyman David Tangipa, the entire California Republican Party, and multiple Republican voters challenging Prop 50.
