Escondido City Councilwoman Olga Diaz has completely gone off the rails. This week, when discussing a proposed ballot measure that would increase the sales tax dramatically, she claimed that mentioning “public safety” in the proposal may “complicate things” and fought to remove “gang and crime prevention” from its language. She argued that language may act as a “dog whistle,” suggesting that public safety and crime prevention are sensitive topics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Republican Party of San Diego County Chairman Tony Krvaric tweeted about these embarrassing statement’s during the livestream of the City Council meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wow. @OlgaDiazD3 just asked about whether mentioning "public safety" when asking for a 13% sales tax increase in Escondido would "complicate things" in getting it passed. In other words she feels mentioning "public safety" is a hindrance. Good to know. #VoteDemsOut<\/a> #BackTheBlue<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/Kj4auiwRNi<\/a><\/p>\n
