Roundtable: Pension Initiative, Wings on Navy Pier, Vets Facing Difficulties

Roundtable: Pension Initiative, Wings on Navy Pier, Vets Facing Difficulties
The city pension reform initiative has qualified for the ballot; the Midway Museum has proposed what they're calling an iconic sculpture and park for Navy Pier; and returning military face economic hurdles as veterans.

Watch Friday's show for Amita Sharma's roundtable with our guests.

A petition drive by backers of pension reform for city workers bore fruit this week when their initiative qualified for the June ballot. But would it solve San Diego's long-term financial problems? And will a proposed park featuring a permanent home for the Summer Pops and a sculpture the size of a skyscraper find a home at the end of Navy Pier? And on this Veterans Day, what are the issues facing our returning military as the U.S. presence abroad downsizes?

Guests:

Scott Lewis, CEO, voiceofsandiego.org

Roger Showley, Growth and Development writer, San Diego Union-Tribune
