This week, students walked out of the Logan Memorial Education Campus, the most expensive school San Diego Unified has ever built.
Despite the beautiful campus, Logan students are not happy about the district and the imminent prospect of teacher layoffs.
VOSD Podcast host Jacob McWhinney witnessed the strike. On the show, he shared what he heard from the protesting students and how it matched up with a recent PTA meeting at the same school.
The one who holds power…
This wouldn't be a presidential election year without a long list of voting metrics. But the big plan that was supposed to solidify San Diego Gas & Electric's power supremacy stalled, largely because of the unions.
On this week's show, hosts Scott Lewis, Andrea López Villafaña, and McWhinney discuss the feud between SDG&E and public power advocates that unfolded before a San Diego City Council committee. One of the proponents, Power San Diego, was ousted by a local labor union with strong ties to SDG&E.
Now, if Power San Diego wants to submit a ballot measure to change the ownership of San Diego's energy grid this year, it needs to collect 80,000 signatures.
power of history
As the sports arena prepares to face the bulldozers, a new study finds the building is historically significant and must be formally acknowledged by the city and developer.
But the history cited in the study only scratches the surface, alluding to Midway's “transformation from a residential World War II residence into a vibrant entertainment and commercial center.”
In this week's pod, Lewis takes us to 1940s San Diego and the region once known as the Frontier.
