Guest:Todd Gloria, Interim Mayor, City of San Diego

Todd Gloria has served as San Diego Mayor interim since Bob Filner resigned at the end of August last year. In that time, Gloria has moved forward on infrastructure funding, a city charter review, boosting the city's linkage fee for affordable housing — and outlined an ambitious agenda for San Diego in his state of the city address.

San Diego's new mayor, Kevin Faulconer takes the oath of office next week so this is the last time Todd Gloria will join us as interim Mayor.
