2/29 - Donna Frye's Battle Against "the shifting baseline of corruption in San Diego City Hall"
She's in our new Surfrider Slide Show, "Shifting Baselines in the Surf," (which will be released on May 22). Last Sunday night we had a little sneak preview of the slide show at a reception at Scripps Birch Aquarium. She showed up. When it was over, on her way out, she grabbed me and said, "I think it's time I started talking about the shifting baseline of corruption in San Diego City Hall."
And the next morning the San Diego Mayor, Dick Murphy announced his surprise resignation, after having been chosen by Time Magazine the previous week as one of the nation's three most corrupt mayors.
Check out this wonderful excerpt from an LA Times article on it all:
Councilman Scott Peters said: "San Diego is like a child of the Depression — cheap, scared and risk-averse."
