San Diego News Matters

San Diego's police budget has been under the microscope lately, since the nationwide wave of protests against police violence. Activists have been calling on city leaders to cut the police budget and give more money to libraries, parks and mental health services. But even when its budgets are cut, SDPD has a track record of overspending. Plus: sewage water in the South Bay, building up the Midway District and more local news you need.
