Public Protests Agonizing Health Care Budget Cuts

Chris Daly had vehemently opposed cuts to affordable housing and health services for the poor and homeless. He soundly thrashed the Mayor for his own substance abuse (both admitted and alleged) and then, according to Human Services Network officials, slashing $8 million from health services including indigent drug rehab and overdose prevention programs.

Daly appeared to use his "bad boy" image to draw press attention to Newsom's 1,000 tiny knives which, in a year with a $248 million budget surplus, will exsanguinate the entire non-profit health and human services system.

"I wish that this type of media would cover four hours of compelling testimony from the people of San Francisco who are concerned about budget cuts," he said. Daly was applauded, and then left.
