San Diego, California

At the Second Annual Taxpayer’s Champion Awards Luncheon, the San Diego County Taxpayers Association (SDCTA) recognized three of its Board Members with the Taxpayer’s Champion Award for 2008. Outgoing Chair of the Board, John O’Neill, and Kimberly Hale were recognized by SDCTA for outstanding support of the organization over the last year. Herbert Cobb of Cobbweb Associates was singled out for his work “behind the scenes” related to research, data analysis, and modeling of the issues and initiatives of the November 2008 elections as well as a current County healthcare fact finding project.

President and CEO, Lani Lutar, commented that although Dr. Cobb had only joined SDCTA in June, his first six months of service to the Association was more than worthy of the award and is looking forward to working with Dr. Cobb in the coming year. Mr. O’Neill remarked that the very first week on the Board and with no prompting from the Association, Dr. Cobb quickly delivered a comprehensive yet readable report on the subject over a weekend.

Herb Cobb is proud to be a Board Member of the SDCTA and looks forward to contributing to the San Diego community through this influential organization in the coming year.
