Re “Campillo’s reforms a smart response to Gloria’s trash fee machinations” (Nov. 30): Thank you for pointing out that San Diego has one elected official with a functioning moral compass. Yes, Raul Campillo is pushing the reform rock up the hill — for now. But widespread disgust with the mayor’s mendacity and the connivance of eight City Council members is changing the political landscape. We see this in the overflow crowds at council meetings and the scores of angry letters you print.
Anger alone won’t get the job done. We need to mobilize. Every San Diegan who is sick of being disrespected by our politicians must become actively involved in future elections. If we don’t, the Chamber of Commerce, the building industry and the unions will continue to choose who governs us.
