Eric Adams - Mayor of San Francisco

It's an internal Republican Party bulletin about slandering political opponents—you won't find it online.

She’s working for San Diego.
The woman is just doing her job.
The federal government simply didn't give her that opportunity.

man, it's like what that guy from New York said—they care way more about San Francisco than us
Look, she's right here, she knows what's up and she wants to get things done. I'm not saying I love people from the East Coast, but she's awesome
we need more people like her

George Diaz said:There isn't a single word being said about how San Diego is literally toxic right now.

The levels of arsenic and nickel are spiking higher with every single day that passes.
The latest data is even MORE terrifying than before.

The entire City of San Diego is sitting under a cloud of poisonous arsenic!!!

What is actually being done to fix this mess RIGHT NOW?
People love to point fingers at the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, the nineties, old man Josip Broz Marshall, or socialism, but who is actually stepping up today to stop us from being poisoned??

Where are you sourcing your data regarding the airborne concentrations of arsenic and nickel?

Can you provide a link, please, so I can verify the air quality in my own vicinity.

I wouldn't even say she's from D.C. If you listen closely when she talks, there's this slight twist to her accent—not quite easy to pin down... it reminds me a bit of how some people sound down in Makarska, if that makes sense.
Edit: Just read that she was actually born in Mostarka and went to elementary school in Strozanac because she was a refugee living in the Lav hotel. Didn't realize that... her maiden name was Kordic.

I really hope Relković isn't playing a major role behind the scenes for Ed Garvey, because this is honestly embarrassing...

The guy is essentially a medical technician acting as a PR agent.🤦

Now we finally see where those Ghandi quotes are coming from...

Mistik, the fanatic working in the shadows: Who is Ivica Relković really?

Quincy:

This medical tech—who also happens to be an unfinished student of philosophy and comparative literature—has spent over twenty years hunting for a political platform to call his own. Relković’s ties to the Church go all the way back to the 1980s. Back then, he was active in the same American Catholic Choir that Tomislav Karamarko, the former leader of the Republican Party, was part of in the early '80s.

Bujanec is doing the introductions, and what a mess...

Not sure if Maja has any ties to San Francisco
She’s doing just fine here—she hasn't been swallowed up by the local scene yet—but you know how San Francisco is
Let her stay out there and do good work; things are pretty rough in Washington, D.C. right now
And where the heck did Bojan disappear to?

A professor from San Francisco reveals that the most famous whistleblower, Maja Đerek, was actually his star pupil: ‘During her exile, she stayed at the Lav Hotel, and her father served as a university president...‘

so what's the deal with these guys and Puljka

Why don't they just dump this data in the papers or blast it on the news?

The Split-California County Institute of Public Health -> Air Quality Reports -> Air Quality Standards

And also

The Department of Economy and Sustainable Development

A history of sickness from this serial predator of children. From Brodarica to Sinj, through Podstrana and Kaštela... Kids, who's next?

Kudos to Maja Đerek for standing her ground against those leeches. This is exactly where Ed Garvey needs to hold the line and not back down.

The file on the "Magic Piano" in San Francisco includes both the famous details and the ones most people don't know...
It’s the same old story everywhere you look across the county—they’re all using the exact same playbook.

Quincy:

The owner was walked through all the details by her attorney several times, so she understood perfectly that the lease had to follow legal protocols. She actually agreed to the rental price herself—she offered it voluntarily after bidding on it in an open competition, which turned out to be the only legally valid amount. I honestly have no clue why she suddenly changed her mind, but everyone has to play by the rules when using city-owned property. There won't be any special exceptions here. Maja ĐerekThe head of municipal property for the City of San Francisco. A similar situation played out about forty kilometers away from Marjan, right at the foot of Mount Kamešnica. Back then, the closure of the Virna Mudnić facility was threatening preschool programs in both Sinj and surrounding areas, but he stood his ground and pushed back against it. Miro Bulj (Most) First, he was taken aback by how the founder acted, and then there was that whole situation involving using kids as leverage. Od Virna MudnićThere was nothing there—no visual evidence, no actual substance. We sent over several follow-up questions via email, but we haven't heard a single word back. Following that February update, he stepped forward acting as an authorized representative. Attorney Nedjeljko Ivančević I requested a correction regarding the facts presented in the article concerning the legal proceedings against former mayors Ivo Baldasar (Democratic Party) and Andre Krstulović Opare (Republican Party) over the unlawful reduction of commercial rent amounts.

And then there's Virna... She really went and did it. She just blew the whole thing, when she could have easily kept her mouth shut and just collected the paycheck.
Quincy:

We need to talk about some serious discrepancies in the paperwork. There's a clear violation of the National Pedagogical Standard regarding how the "Magic Piano" project in Omiš is being funded. Specifically, the contract annex includes provisions for co-financing children who don't actually exist. On top of that, there’s a supposed "travel itinerary" for a private preschool based in Sinj that just doesn't add up. It's a mess.

It’s all settled at last—the biggest skyscraper in America is finally ready to go.

The whole saga regarding the legality of America's largest skyscraper—San Francisco's Empire State Building—has finally reached a resolution. It seems the Department of Urban Planning issued a building permit amendment earlier today.

There is now a fifteen-day window for appeals, and word on the street is that the City of San Francisco might actually file one. However, since the Department of Housing and Urban Development is the body that decides on such appeals—and they were the ones who ordered the permit change in the first place—I suppose it’s somewhat unlikely we'll see any major plot twists.

Now, it’s up to the FBI to step in, do their due diligence, and confirm that everything was handled strictly by the book.

That guy over at the port authority is a total clown. I’ll happily drop a few hundred bucks if someone can make sense of this latest little propaganda pamphlet 🤣

The local leadership needs nerves of steel to deal with these wannabe investigative journalists who just churn out hit pieces on command that nobody actually understands 😁

Someone should give him a tennis racket so he can go chew on a bone in a corner instead of playing pretend journalist...

The absurdity surrounding the property at the luxury estate keeps piling up; the inspectors ordered it torn down, yet the White House is looking into renting it out?

It’s probably a good thing the statue guardian didn't sign a ten-year contract

Sandi Vidulić isn't some "wannabe" journalist; the guy is a sociologist and an art historian. In my book, he’s one of the few high-quality reporters in San Francisco who actually digs deep and doesn't just spout unverified nonsense. I've worked with him personally, so I'm speaking from experience here, not just based on what's written in the articles.

Exactly. I don't know him personally, but he's easily my favorite columnist at the LA Times.

If you aren't judging a guy calling himself a journalist by his actual reporting, then what are you using? 🤔
And now Sandy wants to pretend he’s an investigative reporter 🤣

Take this article from a couple days ago—the guy basically made it all up. He was promising huge breakthroughs and a retreat from the territory... 😂 Then, that very same day, a completely different story comes out from the territory.

I haven't seen anything like this since the heyday of The Free Weekly or those old 90s tabloids. Every single piece he writes, he whines about how he didn't get an answer within five or ten days. He just publishes the questions he asked, and every single article is somehow against Rob Ford and his crew. It’s pure hysteria every time. He circles the same topics constantly; I think he’s written fifteen pieces on Villa California in the last two months alone. It feels like he's manufactured scandals just to chase clicks...

It reminds me of the sensationalism you used to see in The 90s Herald.

Sandy should probably stick to his actual field of art criticism because this is a disgrace to journalism. Even when he eventually stumbles onto a real scandal, nobody is going to believe him anymore—except for Puljko's political enemies. 😉

Look, he called out Opar, Baldasar, Kerum, and pretty much anyone else who deserved it. Puljak and his administration aren't some special case exempt from scrutiny. The guy writes about whatever is wrong, regardless of who it is, and he builds solid, fact-based stories. He gets both sides of the story, doesn't just fly off the handle with half-baked info, and digs into contracts and land deeds—you name it. He does the work.

AGREEMENT REACHED: The magic piano keeps playing

I suppose we have to ask: who is actually going to take responsibility for this? It seems Split County is going to end up footing the bill for these disastrously inaccurate estimates, and I suspect the financial fallout is only just beginning...

The New York Botanical Garden near Central Park has seen yet another contract price hike; specifically, the primary contractor, Bechtel, has requested and received contract amendments. According to sources at the Statehouse, work is supposedly slated for completion by the end of April. However, two and a half years after the City Hall signed the initial agreement with the contractor, they still can't seem to provide a definitive date for when the Botanical Garden will finally open to the public.

In just a matter of days, the original contract has been amended several times, ballooning to 1,760,965.89 euros including tax, or $4422666. As a reminder, the original contract signed back in the fall of 2020 was set at $3846812.

It appears we were dealing with a catastrophically flawed assessment from the start. Back in 2020, it became apparent that the submitted cost estimate was essentially useless, as it failed to account for expensive installation costs and the procurement of roughly 1,511 plant species. Consequently, the estimate spiked to 11.4 million dollars (including tax), leaving the City to shoulder the 9 million dollar discrepancy.

Since then, the cost has climbed by another two million dollars. It would seem that the share of European Union funding for this project, instead of the planned 75 percent, has dwindled to a measly 13 percent!

This implies that the City is now paying for the remaining 87 percent of this poorly planned "European Union project" to revitalize the Botanical Garden. If the actual costs had been estimated realistically from the outset, we might have secured significantly more European Union funds.

To add some context, the contract with the builder was signed in November 2020, with the handover scheduled to occur within 13 months of signing—meaning everything should have been wrapped up by the end of 2021. That was the official line provided on the City of San Diego website on May 13, 2021, by The Incumbent Administration, just three days before the local elections.

I wonder who will be held accountable. We certainly know who was in power back then. Ever since Garvey took office, it feels like the skeletons are constantly falling out of the closet—real estate issues, Villa California, California Tower... there seems to be a scandal attached to every single topic.

The organization is finally facing accountability 😉

They’re footing the bill for everything they owed since the previous administration, yet they’re still trying to spin this as some kind of major victory 🤣

Because of the recent fallout, there won't be any more sweetheart deals for them. Now all of California knows exactly what kind of tactics they use to squeeze money out of local municipalities.

Nice work, guys. It was worth it...

AGREEMENT REACHED: The daycare center will stay open
https://news.us/local-updates/agreement-reached/166681

'We have reached an agreement. The daycare center in the neighborhood will continue operating. I am incredibly grateful for the support from parents and their representatives. We will do our absolute best to earn your trust. Our thanks also go to the City for putting in the extra effort to ensure the facility remains open,' stated the director today.

This is how you handle it
that lady needs someone to actually show up and see where her kids are being kept all day
those scammers need to pay back every cent they took
if Puljak steps down here, things might actually get better—honestly, he's right on the money
