This week’s edition of Looking Back at the Week features articles, commentaries, columns and other work by San Diego Free Press and OB Rag regulars, irregulars, columnists, at-large contributors, and sourced writers on SD’s sour politics, the TPP showdown, painful neoliberalism, a pool party in Texas, cyclists getting screwed by SANDAG, attempting to get money out of SD politics (good luck with that), bully Issa, Sweetwater’s reservoir, possible CEQA exemption shenanigans for Mission Valley stadium, early planting, and a whole lot more good stuff from the all volunteer, and occasionally charming, Freeps. All that plus some news and views from our buddies in OB!
