This week’s edition of Looking Back at the Week features articles, commentaries, columns, toons and other work by San Diego Free Press regulars, irregulars, columnists, at-large contributors, and sourced writers on: ALEC and their minions coming to town, the fantastical stadium financing plan, Skyline Church’s hater conference, easing in UC, Democratic Capitalism, Cali’s new Latino majority, nesting in Iraq, Natalie Cressman impressing at Dizzy’s, suburban climate changers, Filipino power in South Bay, OB’s Red House and lots of other grassroots news & progressive views.
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and their extreme right wing, anti-worker agenda are coming to town this week so we’re kicking up the coverage a bit. Expect more articles on them and their dirty deeds throughout the week.
