The City of San Diego Council voted 4-1 to place a proposal on its October 20 agenda to potentially cut the $100,000 annual district budgets provided to four council members. Councilmember Jose Rodriguez cast the lone dissenting vote on the matter. Councilmember Marcus Bush, who requested the review, noted that eliminating the budgets entirely could save between $200,000 and $300,000.
