SANTEE’S MAYOR SAYS HE IS DONE BEING A REPUBLICAN

IRAQI CHRISTIANS FLEE WAVE OF TARGETED VIOLENCE
December 13, 2010 (National Public Radio)-- In Iraq, a wave of attacks targeting Christians is leading to an exodus from Baghdad and other cities. Before the 2003 U.S. invasion, there were nearly 1 million Christians in the country. That number was cut in half in the past several years.
Now, with the latest violence, families are seeking refuge in northern Iraq and trying to emigrate.

December 12, 2010 (Voice of San Diego)--Something had long bothered Laura Tate.

WATER BOARD MEMBERS GET HEALTHY BENEFITS
December 10, 2010 (San Diego Union-Tribune)-- Board members of local water agencies don’t collect a salary, but most of them reap a big benefit nonetheless — full-freight medical insurance for them, and in many cases, their families.
The elected officials don’t work full-time — they go to a few meetings a week at most — but they award themselves benefits not given to their agency’s own part-time workers. The health care is a better deal than what’s offered to Sacramento’s full-time state lawmakers, who at least contribute to health premiums.
