Press Release from Labor:
DeMaio’s Proposal Creates Open Season for Government Contractors, Harms Local Economy
Proposal would ban policies to help local workers and veterans; repeals living wage; could hand contracting power to unelected city manager
SAN DIEGO – (November 23, 2009) – A proposed ballot measure supported by government contractors and Carl DeMaio handcuffs the City of San Diego from creating policies that promote hiring local workers or veterans for public works projects and hands over authority to the city manager to enter into contracts “at his discretion” without safeguards for nepotism, cronyism or favoritism.
Included in the proposal, which is supported by big-dollar government contractors, who filed a lawsuit earlier this year against CalTrans for its minority contracting program, are several provisions that hurt local taxpayers and workers:
• Bans local hiring policies.
• Bans policies to promote the hiring of veterans.
• Bans agreements that prevent strikes on public works projects.
• Bans policies to hire qualified workers.
• Bans policies that promote the payment of health care benefits to workers
• Bans policies that promote the hiring of ex-city workers who have experience providing a recently outsourced service, such as the policy the North County Transit District put in place when it voted to outsource its services this month.
• Allows the City Manager to enter into contracts “at his discretion” without safeguards for nepotism, cronyism or favoritism. If initiative to make strong mayor form of government permanent is defeated in June 2010, this authority would be in the hands of an unelected city manager.
• Repeals the City of San Diego’s Living Wage Ordinance.
• Creates new anti-competitive “Direct Outsourcing” process that would force services like trash or landfill management to be outsourced without letting city employees compete for their jobs. This new process conflicts with Managed Competition process approved by voters in 2006 and supported by Mayor Jerry Sanders.
“The only thing ‘transparent’ about Mr. DeMaio’s proposal is how badly he wants to hand out contracts to his friends in the government contractor industry,” said Lorena Gonzalez, Secretary-Treasurer and CEO of the San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council. “After making a fortune himself as a government contractor during the Bush Administration, Mr. DeMaio is trying to pass along his tricks to other big-dollar government contractors. But he’s doing it at the expense of San Diego’s taxpayers and local workers.”

Liễu Mi trầm mặc.
- Hôm nay ngươi hãy xuất quan, ngươi và tên Tằng Ngưu kia sẽ sớm gặp nhau. Khi ngươi tiếp xúc với hắn, bất kể là dùng biện pháp nào cũng phải lưu lại thân ảnh bên trong đạo tâm của hắn, lấy người này làm lò luyện. Đến khi ý cảnh của ngươi đại thành là lúc phá lò , sinh tử luân hồi ý cảnh của hắn cũng sẽ bị ngươi nắm giữ. Từ đó, ngươi so với Phong nhi càng có nhiều cơ hội hơn để tiếp nhận danh hiệu Chu Tước!
Lão già liếc mắt nhìn Liễu Mi một cái, nói.
Liễu Mi thầm than, cắn môi, trở nên trầm mặc.

- Ô? Ngươi không muốn?
Lão già trong mắt lóe lên một tia màu đỏ, không giận nhưng oai nghiêm.
- Đệ tử xin vâng lời!
Liễu Mi hạ giọng nói.
Lão già ngẩng đầu nhìn về phía xa xa. Ánh mắt hắn như có thể xuyên
