WHY IS IT STILL AN ISSUE?

THE ANSWER IS FOR LAST APRIL WHEN CITY COUNCIL FILED A VALIDATION SUIT.

IT SAID THE MEASURE ONLY NEEDED A SIMPLE MAJORITY TO PASS SO IT SHOULD GO INTO EFFECT.

THAT'S WHEN THE LAWSUIT STARTED.

THE HEARING WAS HELD IN A SAN DIEGO COURT TODAY.

>> WHO HAS THE POWER?

IS THAT THE PEOPLE OR THE POLITICIANS?

>> Reporter: THE ANSWER IS CLEAR SAYS THIS WOMAN.

IT'S THE PEOPLE.

THE CITY VIOLATED THE TRUST OF VOTERS BY WAITING A FULL YEAR IN VIOLATION OF THE STATE LAW TO DECLARE THE RESULTS OF THE ELECTION.

THAT SHOULD'VE HAPPENED IN APRIL OF 2020.

THEY DON'T TAKE A POSITION ON THE MERITS OR IF IT SHOULD REQUIRE A TWO THIRDS OR SIMPLE MAJORITY.

>> HOURS IS ABOUT WHETHER THE CITY COUNCIL VIOLATED OUR TRUST WHEN THEY DECIDED TO HOLD AN ELECTION FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AND MOVE THE FINISH LINE LONG AFTER THE RACE WAS RUN.

MEASURE C IS A SPECIAL TAX TACK .

THE PACE OF INFLATION.

THIS IS GREAT NEWS.

IT'S VERY ENCOURAGING.

AT THE SAME TIME, WE HAVE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT A FEW FACTORS WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE JOB REPORT FOR APRIL AND MARCH.

INFLATION MAY BE INCREASING DUE TO THE WAR IN UKRAINE.

AT THE SAME TIME, THE FEDS WILL RAISE INTEREST RATES BY ONE QUARTER OF A POINT.

LAST YEAR THE CITY OPTED NOT TO RENEW THEIR CONTRACT.

SHE VOWED NEVER TO DO BUSINESS WITH THIS CITY AGAIN.

>> YOU ARE VALUED WHEN THEY NEED YOU BUT IF YOU ARE NOT GONNA DO WHAT THEY SAY, YOU ARE NO LONGER VALUED.

>> Reporter: THEY REFERENCED A CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM THAT SAID THE LUCKY DUCK FOUNDATION AND THE CITY MUTUALLY AGREED IT WILL BE UTILIZE ELSEWHERE WITH FEWER LIMITATIONS.

THIS PERSON SAID IT'S A LIE, HE WAS WILLING TO WORK WITH THE CITY ON ITS TERMS.

RUBEN TAURUS LEADS THIS NONPROFIT, LOVE THY NEIGHBOR.

HE STARTED WITH HIGH HOPES WITH HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CITY.

BUT THE CITY STAFF SAID HE COULD SET UP A COFFEE CART BUSINESS AS PART OF A JOB TRAINING PROGRAM.
