A Battle of Ideology in a City Unaccustomed to That Sort of Election

The current race for mayor, between a Latino Democrat and a business-oriented Republican, is in many ways a fight for San Diego’s political soul.
Elections, Mayors; Hispanic-Americans; Organized Labor 

If I had a vote in this contest I would vote for the Democrat.
The Republican way has not worked.  It is time to try an alternative.

Too Much Winter, and Not Nearly Enough Propane

Analysts placed blame for the increases on record exports, frigid winter weather and rains last year that led to higher demand from farmers.
Propane; Agriculture and Farming; Prices (Fares, Fees and Rates); Regulation and Deregulation of Industry; Heating; Natural Gas 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propane

This is not a problem of production but of transport.

"Energy experts are also struggling for answers about why the system of supply truckers and pipelines to deliver propane broke down so badly for the rural homeowners who depend on it for portable electrical generation and home heating."

Demand exceeds capacity.  The price has risen to limit demand. 
If higher prices persist supply will be increased.
