Don't Mess with La Mesa

We’ve got a Dear VOSD response finally on the city’s history of charging for parking.  Grossmont Union School District has had some very tense meetings. We’ll talk about a hot mic moment that went viral.  And as part of our 20th anniversary talk, we have reflections from several of the journalists and former writers at Voice of San Diego who made a difference here.
