SF Board of Supervisors have NO clue what they are talking about!

by Francisco Da Costa
Just watch the idiots speaking in Room 250 and you get an idea how much our SF Board of Supervisors (BOS) really know about Transportation Issues and other pertinent Quality of Life Issues affecting the constituents of San Francisco. Right now, Aaron Peskin thinks he can take on the MUNI drivers and the MUNI UNION - dead wrong.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors (BOS) are the most ignorant bunch of idiots when it comes to transportation and energy issues.

The T-Third Street Light Rail is a mess. The proposed Solar Energy Company that will compete with Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) is another joke. Let us see if the California Public Utilities Commission will even entertain this latest joke by Tom Ammiano.

Over the years I have watch the morons attend the SF County Transportation Agency (SFCTA) meetings. As the full Board they BOS are the SFCTA Commission. They talk and talk and talk - spew diatribe - leading the bunch of morons Bevan Dufty and Jake McGoldrick and Tom Ammiano.

For too long have we, the constituents allowed these idiots to do as they please.

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) defers all Land Use issues to the SFCTA. The SF BOS play an important role - but the fools will defer to petty politics - every single time.

While millions were being wasted on the MUNI 3rd Street Line - the SF BOS looked the other way.
This included the serious issues with the two bridges - one at 3rd and Cargo and the other at 4th and King - both prone to very serious seismic issues.

Jose the Director of the SFCTA has been meeting with Bevan and Tom behind close doors - guess what these 3 fools share in common? It has nothing to do with expertise or the job at hand.

I have been attending meetings and stating clearly to the fools - that the 3rd Street Light Rail has serious problems.

The fools keep listening to Sophie Maxwell an Electrician with no college education - and as an Electrician she had to go to Oakland to pass an exam to work in a menial position for CalTrans.

The T-Third Light Rail is a mess.

The schedule on this T-Third Light Rail is affecting hard working constituents and some one must sue the City and the SF BOS - naming Jake McGoldrick, Aaron Peskin, Bevan Dufty, and Sophie Maxwell as the prime culprits.

These fools use to make $38,000 but now they make $118,00 with perks and DO NOT serve the constituents.

Let us not forget Tom Ammiano - he cannot do his job as a SF BOS - but now wants to run for the State Assembly seat. He is for all practical purposes senile and add to that his affinity to drink heavily.

Gone are the days when this Queen could crack a joke - now he has fallen through the cracks.

Aaron Peskin thinks San Franciscans are stupid - as this late hour he wants to take on the MUNI drivers. I know of thousands of people that support the MUNI drivers - they also know the real situation.

It is not easy being a MUNI driver with no much nonsense - much of it related to SAFETY on all the MUNI lines. With no support from City Officials and the Mayor of San Francisco - who is busy with extra curricula activities.

Thousands do not support our lousy BOS. There is a plan to recall Jake McGoldrick and falling that Sophie Maxwell. Both incompetent fools.

These fools are supposed to legislate but most of the time they meet lobbyists behind close doors - making deals.

Foremost Aaron Peskin. The MUNI union and other unions will stand together - and bring this City to its knees - if need be.

The SF BOS have no clue what they are talking about when it comes to transportation. It is not as easy as swimming in a cesspool every morning - which Aaron loves - affects his way of thinking.

We have a bad Housing Element. We have NO transportation document from the SF Planning Department. The $700 million MUNI T-Third Street Light Rail is a mess and to be blamed are the SF SFCTA Commissioners - they knew all along what really was going on.

Bevan Dufty, Jake McGoldrink, Sophie Maxwell, Tom Ammiano, and Aaron Peskin - foremost share the responsibility - but do you think they can fix it.

The City's bus and train system, SF Municipal Railway, needs 150 drivers right now and the drivers have taken wage freezes and furloughed days (presumably unpaid) to adjust to the inadequate budget, yet the only thing the Democratic Party of San Francisco think to do is not demand more federal money from House Speaker Pelosi but attack the drivers' wages and working conditions! See San Francisco Examiner, 4/17/07 at:
http://www.examiner.com/a-678076~Peskin_to_push_Muni_salary__budget_reform.html
As stated by Irwin Lum, president of the transit drivers union:
"Lum said Muni is 150 drivers short and hasn’t hired new drivers in three years because of a budget crunch. He said drivers have taken wage freezes and furlough days in recent years."
This is what the Democratic Party of San Francisco, led by Board President Aaron Peskin, have to offer. If you want change, you have to vote for pro-labor candidates, namely Peace & Freedom and Green Party candidates. If you are a Democrat and appalled at this attack on labor and the terrible Muni service, you should leave the Democratic Party now and vote for P&F and Green Party candidates. You cannot keep running to a party that has nothing good to offer and expect anything better. The Democrats are paid for by the same corporations as the Republican Party and thus carry out the same anti-labor agenda. All of the above named supervisors are Democrats as is the worthless elecion frauding "mayor." There is only one Green Party supervisor, Ross Mirkarimi, and let us hope he runs for mayor.

First find out where they hire.

At Presidio and Geary a sign on the door says Human Resources. The offices are as empty as an outpost in Dances With Wolves.

Go to the Gough Employment office.

Whoops!

Not there either.

MUNI has its own special offices at the Herbst building.

Go to the window.

Where is anybody?

Go down the long hall-- the amused receptionist will send you back.

The office is still empty.

A frustrated stranger tells you in the hall: MUNI needs 250 new employees! But they cannot hire until later.

Thanks.

Welcome to the third world.

May I suggest that before you unleash a diatribe full of classist and homophobic innuendo that you at least run through your document for spelling and grammatical errors? Calling the supervisors fools carries a lot less weight if you give the impression of being illiterate. Your original text is attached, with corrections.
