Poll Shows Strong Support for Convention Center Expansion

In addition to boosting our tourism economy, the TOT for “Jobs, Streets and People” measure would generate $150 million for road repairs and $150 million to reduce homelessness – in year one alone.
SAN DIEGO (May 30, 2017) — A poll of San Diego voters shows there is strong support for a ballot measure to modernize and expand the convention center, while also funding road repairs and homelessness programs.

​The poll, conducted in March 2017, found two-thirds of those likely to vote in a special election would support the plan to raise the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) – the visitor tax that overnight guests pay in San Diego – by up to 3 percent to upgrade and expand the convention center, fix our streets, reduce homelessness and bring more jobs to San Diego.

Bob Nelson resigns suddenly and the line to replace him is already becoming long

Just a few days after dropping his bombshell resignation from the San Diego Port Commission, Bob Nelson had his personal trainer in mind while pondering breakfast options at Hob Nob Hill in Bankers Hill.

“I find it somewhat amusing that the place you choose is probably the biggest symbol of The Establishment that I could imagine,” Nelson told Spin about the restaurant selection. “I love it.”

Nelson decided to go with two pork chops “cooked to the minimum level law allows,” two eggs over easy, wheat toast and a fruit cup. “I need all the protein I can get,” he explained. “But as I think about it, my trainer probably won’t like it.”

​No doubt about it, the Port Commission has lost perhaps its most articulate, most outspoken member, particularly on the subject of expanding the San Diego Convention Center, which he wholeheartedly endorses.

SDCTA Opposes AB 805

5/19/2017

Haney Hong, President and CEO of the San Diego County Taxpayers Association, released the following statement today:

“SDCTA opposes Assembly Bill 805 because it eliminates the need for consensus among the elected leaders who help govern the region’s three transportation agencies. Under the proposed legislation, any regional transportation decision could be made by a weighted vote if one is requested by only a handful of the governing agencies who sit on the Boards of the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and North County Transit District (NCTD). This would greatly concentrate the voting power among the most populous cities in San Diego County, which would compromise the democratic and deliberative process necessary to adequately address the transportation needs of all taxpayers throughout the region.

New Study Shows Urgent Need for Modern, Expanded Convention Center
SAN DIEGO (May 18, 2017) — San Diego tourism and lodging leaders said today they strongly support an increase of up to three percent to the transient occupancy tax (TOT) to modernize and expand the San Diego Convention Center, repair city streets and reduce homelessness.

​The “TOT for Jobs, Streets & People” plan would raise the TOT, or visitor tax, three percent for downtown lodging facilities, two percent for those on the periphery of downtown and one percent for facilities located elsewhere in the city. Tourism leaders are spearheading the effort because it would boost San Diego’s tourism economy, create thousands of jobs, repair roads and reduce homelessness. It also would add millions of dollars to the city’s General Fund, which pays for neighborhood services.
