SAN DIEGO -- San Diego Mayor Dick Murphy dropped a bombshell Monday morning outside City Hall.

Murphy told members of the media at the City Administration Building that he was resigning.

"It seems clear to me the city needs a fresh start," said Murphy.

Murphy also said at the news conference, which was held at 10:15 a.m., that he would stay on until July 15.

"A good leader needs to know when it's time to move on," said Murphy.

He said that he was staying until mid-July for two reasons. First of all, he said that would allow him to complete next year's city budget. He also said he picked July 15 so that the City Council would be able to set a special election to elect a mayor to be consolidated with the Nov. 8 election, saving the city millions of dollars.

Murphy's spokeswoman Collen Rudy said Murphy had been contemplating the move for several weeks. She said that the City Council had been informed about Murphy's decision earlier on Monday.

Earlier this month, Time magazine named Murphy as one of the three worst mayors in America. The magazine said Murphy was "discredited" by the city's pension-fund crisis.

San Diego's pension system has a nearly $1.4 billion deficit and is at the heart of investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission, U.S. attorney and FBI into city finances, possible public corruption and securities fraud.

i was gonna say the same thing. san diego is fucked up because of this mayor and the two previous to this one.

god save san diego.

Good , now maybe I can get a decent parking spot somewhere in the Gaslamp?

Id like to see the day that happens..!

Gaslamp is just brutal on the weekends. Murphy is a putz. If anyone knew how really corrupt SD was, they would never vote.

didn't a woman win the last election and get discredited for something?

I remember, as a kid, when the Gaslamp was the sleaze part of town. Personally, I still think it is. Want some action? PB/OB, baby! ESPECIALLY if you're on a chopper. Nothing but wannabe-RUBS and PRICKS in the Gaslamp now. NO THANK YOU!

I wouldn't know I have been locked up in City Council meetings with the owner of Cheetah's
LOL

:-))

shit - the guy they have doing the interm will be doing two things at once

- running the city

- have his ass in court for that strip club shit.

:Oh crap

Go Donna Frye!

at long last. God bless San Diego

Donna Frye....Susan Golding. What's the fucking difference. Most of you would live in Hillcrest anyway so who gives a shit who the mayor is. You're familiar with Hillcrest aren't you? It's the part of town where, if you drop your wallet on the sidewalk, you have to kick it all the way to North Park to pick it up. :1orglaugh
