Funds for Memorial Held From Budget
A proposed $25,000 memorial to the people killed in the San Ysidro massacre in 1984 was pulled out of the proposed 1987 City of San Diego budget Monday.
The memorial was proposed by City Manager Sylvester Murray for the site where gunman James Huberty walked into a McDonald’s restaurant and killed 21 people before he was shot to death by police. Murray also proposed a $75,000 parking lot be built on the site.
But Councilman Uvaldo Martinez, who represents San Ysidro, had the items pulled from the budget. He said he wanted the subject discussed later before a council committee.
