 FORMER CITY COUNCILWOMAN 
donna FRYE speaks at SVTC meeting
BY SUSAN CAROLIN

After years of public service, Donna Frye is still as passionate about her belief that government should be open and honest as she was when she first got involved in politics some 15 years ago.  After serving two full terms and 10 years on the San Diego City Council, term limits forced her to retire in 2010.  But it was clear to the near-capacity crowd, she has not retired completely.

In her speech at the SVTC’s April meeting, she told the rapt audience how she first got involved in politics through her fights for clean ocean water. Currently, she is continuing her long-standing efforts supporting open government through her non-paid position as President of Californians Aware (CalAware), a non-profit that advocates for open government statewide.  

Frye has been working since November to get an initiative on the June ballot to amend the City Charter to make public records more accessible and protect the public’s right to know, but the City Council voted against it, twice.  One argument raised for not passing it was that it needed to be closely analyzed to make sure it didn’t conflict or overlap with Prop 42, an initiative already on the June ballot.  This measure would call for state reimbursement to local government agencies for funds spent while complying with existing open government legislation (the California Open Records Act).  This analysis could take months.
