San Diego Democrats request independent audit of deaths in county jails

Print The San Diego County Democratic Party is formally calling on its representatives in the California Legislature to request an independent investigation into deaths inside San Diego County jails. Party members passed a resolution last week requesting local senators and assembly members introduce a measure requiring the Joint Legislative Audit Committee to examine the jail-mortality rate since 2009. “Under San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore, 159 men and women have died while in custody, additionally costing the taxpayer millions of dollars in wrongful death case settlements, staff time and legal costs,” the resolution states. People incarcerated in San Diego County jails have been dying at a higher rate than prisoners in other large California counties.

Column: Gloria pushes changes in SDPD amid national focus on law enforcement

Print Mayor Todd Gloria seemed to be in the zeitgeist of the moment last week when he unveiled potentially sweeping changes in San Diego Police Department practices. Discussions over how law enforcement operates have been taking place across the country since last year’s social justice protests triggered by the death of George Floyd and other Black people at the hands of police. Events in the past few weeks have intensified that debate. The ongoing trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who is accused of murdering Floyd, has thrust the incident back to the top of the national news along with the dispute over police tactics and training.

A scandal involving Spokane s new city administrator is still smoldering in San Diego

S pokane Mayor Nadine Woodward s first city administrator, hired away from the tiny Central Washington town of Ephrata, resigned after less than a year. But Woodward says the scale of experience of her new city administrator, Johnnie Perkins, is on an entirely different level. Perkins has been a school board candidate, a trash company lobbyist and, just last year, a deputy chief operating officer for the city of San Diego. In a city of 1.5 million nearly seven times Spokane s population and 188 times Ephrata s Perkins oversaw infrastructure, public works and utilities. Woodward says that Perkins references were absolutely incredible across the board, with two decades worth of colleagues from the public and private sectors raving about his record of collaboration and problem-solving.
