The Padres are playing their opening game as we record. We’ll explain a new minimum wage increase they are fighting.

We’ve got a few updates on what the city is doing to get you to pay for parking. Why San Diego is on the hook for monthly rent payment on an empty homeless shelter. And the historic San Diego Taxpayers Association has no leadership. 

Also, the hospitals are fighting. Palomar Health is borrowing money from friends and that never goes well.
