REGION — An explosive debate broke out and accusations flew at the San Diego Association of Government’s Board of Directors meeting on Oct. 27.
San Marcos Mayor Rebecca Jones claimed a high-level SANDAG employee told at least two board members the Fiscal Year 2024 program budget amendment must be passed, and the board must vote to do so or TransNet projects would be eliminated from the budget. TransNet was a half-cent sales tax increase in 2004 to fund highway and other transportation projects.
