mcsweeney’s not the stadium manager. he’s a small time building contractor and board member of the san diego republican party.

sander’s made some type of deal to take mike off krvarics hands. but from day one they’ve treated him with disrepect. from referring to him in flyers and paper work as mike sweeney (geez, can’t get a staffers name correct), to having him chauffeur the mayors daughter to unimportant events (thus I suppose keeping him from the real events), to not even having him at events. I assume he got some type of payoff for falling on his sword but how humiliating.

Johndoer – no I am not certain. I have heard that a Mike McSweeney took over for Eric Stover – the past Stadium Manager – and is a real piece of work. It could be someone else I suppose. The whole cabal of Center Plate/Stadium/Petco/Convention Center/City of Diego/Fred Sainz made me assume it was him. If I have impuned another Mike McSweeney – I apologize.

McSweeney has run for local and state office, is co-chair of the Republican party, and has been involved in San Diego campaigns for at least two decades. He wouldn’t do this without running it past the Mayor and Sheppard first because he loves to be the center of attention. Keep following this story, please.

Are you sure that they are the same Mike McSweeney? I know that he is a contractor but I didn’t think that he worked for the city.

Look who McSweeney listed as a supporter in his 2006 school board campaign – none other than Steve Francis !http://www.smartvoter.org/2006/11/07/ca/sd/vote/mcsweeney_ml1/ign…

This is great isn’t it? I can’t wait to see the UT’s version. Mike McSweeney is the interim Manager of Qualcomm stadium….that means he is a highly paid city employee.
According to the Republican website he is also a highly successful private developer.
I know people have a hard time differentiating between the City Ethics Commission and the Office of Ethics and Integrity …..but this time it doesn’t matter who investigates – both he and the Mayor have apparently violated both employee rules and commission regulations on this one!
