San Diego city council Democrat Georgette Gomez, who brokered last month’s 5-4 council deal to advance the date of the convention center expansion ballot measure from November to March of next year, has been taking cash for her personal legal defense fund from hotel interests and city hall lobbyists. Chief among hotel connected donors was Robert Gleason, chief executive of Evans Hotels, which runs resorts on city-owned Mission Bay sites, with $550 last May 14.

The fund collected $2750 in February and April of this year, including $550 from Marcela Escobar-Eck, whose Atlantis Group counts among its clients an outfit called Blue Falcon 52 seeking permits for a Montezuma Road hotel. Other $550 givers included Republican ex-mayor Jerry Sanders aide and lobbyist Rachel Laing, as well as port commissioner and GOP ex-city council candidate Marshall Merrifield and wife Virginia. Influence peddler Clarissa Falcon of Falcon Strategies, who lobbies for Bird scooters and Parallel, which wants to “relax short term rental regulations on accommodations in rental zones,” came up with $550 last June 14. Lobbyist Donna Jones kicked in $550, as did the Clay Company’s Denise Price and Stephanie Saathoff.

In all, the Gomez defense fund has raised $10,150 to cover bills from the Kauffman Legal Group in Los Angeles. Gomez’s 2016 city council campaign was cited for multiple violations of city campaign law during a routine audit by the city’s ethics commission but got only a hand slap. “Although the report reflects four material findings, the Commission does not believe that the findings warrant additional administrative remedies,” said a February 8, 2019 letter to Gomez from ethics commission audit program manager Rosalba Gomez. “In summary, the Commission determined that education was more appropriate than enforcement in this situation. As a result, the Commission voted to accept the report and take no further action.”

Transgressions called out by auditors included failure to pay a vendor “within 180 calendar days in violation of San Diego Municipal Code,” as well as failing to “include identification disclosures on three telephone communications.” Per the final report, dated January 14 of this year, “At the post-audit conference held on January 10, 2019, the Committee representatives stated that the campaign volunteers were verbally instructed to identify themselves as volunteers of the Committee when reading the above-noted scripts, but acknowledged that the Committee does not have any documents to support this assertion.”

Regarding the illegal 180-day extension credit by vendor YuMe, Inc., the audit said Gomez’s committee “did not exercise reasonable due diligence to comply with this law; it knew that the vendor had not negotiated the check by the end of those twelve months, yet failed to make any additional efforts to ensure that the vendor was paid.”

In the hours before Gomez joined the narrow council majority in switching the convention center measure’s ballot date, Andrea Guerrero, executive director of the nonprofit Alliance San Diego, told a rally at the city administration building, “We are setting ourselves up for manipulation. We are setting ourselves up for special interests to control the outcome of these elections.”

Porn company Bang! wants to hire someone who “improves everything they touch.”

Sexual media coordinator

It’s been no secret that San Diego X-rated businesses are burgeoning. Now locally-based online porn purveyor Bang! is looking to hire a social media coordinator. “We do work in the adult entertainment industry, but our office looks and feels much more like a typical tech company,” says a job notice posted by the North County operation. “Our team is made up of a bunch of vibrant developers and marketers who like to utilize the latest technologies and tools to build cool stuff and figure out how to make the best online products possible. We’re looking for a creative marketer that likes to figure out the inner workings of social media, develop and test new strategies in a forgiving environment, and mostly — we need someone who has the inner drive to grow, learn, and improve everything they touch.... It’s probably worth mentioning that all of the X-rated content is filmed offsite. Our company started in 2010 and there are roughly 20 of us here in the San Diego headquarters.”

Per the company blog, “San Diego sets the scene for our 101+ Bang Real Teens scenes! Shot at various public places around town, the series features fresh new talent that are just coming into the business! From the nude beaches of north county to the beautiful skyline of Downtown San Diego, we capture fearless girls flashing and [having sex] with no shame!”

Notes the job ad: “This is a full-time position with a competitive salary, opportunities for bonuses, fully paid healthcare/vision/dental, 401k, vacation & holidays, gym & transportation reimbursement, and plenty of delicious snacks in the office!”
