Newsweek: McCain's wife owes some back taxes to San Diego County -- four years worth. "... officials, it turns out, have been sending out tax notices on the La Jolla property, an oceanfront condo, for four years without receiving a response. County records show the bills, which were mailed to a Phoenix address associated with Mrs. McCain's trust, were returned by the post office."

A San Diego man sued American Airlines in federal court last week, claiming he was told to "shut up and remain seated" after he asked to be left off a plane to get medical help. Turns out he had kidney stones, but, according to his complaint, the flight crew threatened him with arrest as he continually asked to be let off the plane. He finally made it to a hospital after being forced to endure a more than three-hour flight.
California Renewal, the sole sponsor of one of the ballot measure committees working to block gay marriage through a constitutional amendment, was suspended by the state Franchise Tax Board in March.
That means that California Renewal can't legally conduct business in California or use the organization's name. The California Political Reform Act doesn't say what should happen when a ballot measure committee sponsor is suspended by the tax board.
Since the suspension, the committee (officially known as Protectmarriage.com, a project of California Renewal) has raised just over $350,000, according to its most recently filed campaign finance disclosure reports. They spent significant amounts on "petition circulating" in the same time period. In total, the committee, led by Ron Prentice (executive director of both California Renewal and the California Family Council Foundation) has reported raising about $1.4 million.

NBC San Diego: "Some bars in San Diego aren't just checking IDs -- they're also entering them into a computer database."
