I appreciate that he is speaking out against the cuts, but the budget did not require a unanimous vote to pass. This shows that our representatives do not fully read or understand the budget and how it affects the citizens of San Diego.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure that there are other expenditures that could have been reduced or cut in order to keep the restrooms open during the middle of summer and tourist season. Here\u2019s a solution: The city should start a GoFundMe page to raise money to reopen the restrooms to full capacity.
