Good morning, San Diegans.
First off, we’d like to congratulate our news partner inewsource, which was a Pulitzer finalist this week for their fentanyl coverage. We’re proud to partner with them and publish their investigative work.
In other news, a search has been called off for survivors of a small boat that capsized off Del Mar; the founder of the nation’s largest travel news agency has died at just 51; and a plan to dip into San Diego County’s funding reserves failed before the Board of Supervisors this week.
Plus, we’re featuring a story on the increasingly crowded field challenging long-serving Rep. Darrell Issa.
Thoughts? Opinions? Let us know what you think by emailing news@timesofsandiego.com.
