VOSD Podcast: That Dam San Diego

Oh dam! An aging North County dam is giving the city of San Diego trouble.

On the latest episode of the VOSD Podcast, our podcast hosts explain why a company is suing the city for $300 million. The company claims the city released six billion gallons of water from El Capitan Dam and Reservoir “without notice,” which ruined the company’s plan to mine sand from the earth for profit.

The attorney representing the company is a name known to many in the city.

“… the city is aware that we don’t file frivolous cases, we take legitimate cases,” he told our North County reporter Tigist Layne.

Also on the show, our hosts explain the San Diego County Board of Supervisors’ decision to change a policy to allow them to dip into the county’s massive reserve funds. And Assemblymember Chris Ward calls in from Sacramento to talk about California’s redistricting measure on the ballot.

Are they running? We’ve had a few guests on the show who are sort of, kind of thinking about running for mayor and San Diego City Council. We’ve got their noncommittal responses on the show.
