Re “Amid budget crisis, San Diego is foregoing millions in potential revenue from its golf courses, audit finds” (Feb. 11): The mayor and the City Council can’t seem to focus on ways to save money and increase revenue that do not depend on taxing the people of San Diego. Why can’t the mayor and the City Council state that they are going to close the budget gap by examining every current expenditure and revenue source, but will not impose additional taxes or fees? They can be successful if they take this approach and will, in turn, receive the cheers of the residents of San Diego. They must also start assigning accountability for both those who have blundered and those who have succeeded.
