After an informal phone call to Steve Hammack, in response to which Steve was friendly but unresponsive, I made several formal Public Records Act requests. The results I reprint below....

textRotkin Responds to the ACLU Scandal: Signature Hypocrisy of Phoney "Progressive" Politics by Robert Norse
One of the longest threads on indybay recently has been "Activists ask ACLU to Help End Sleeping Ban". The discussion there exposes and documents an important and profound hypocrisy that has been central to Santa Cruz "progressive" politics for two decades. Organizations and individuals which newcomers might think would be most "liberal", "socialist" or "progressive" are actually the opposite on local issues. I encourage folks to go to http://indybay.org/newsitems/2007/08/26/18443532.php?...
