City Hall Declares War on the People of Bayview Hunters Point
by Willie Ratcliff‚ Beyond Chron (reposted)
“This is a last-ditch effort to deny the people the right to take part in their government.” That’s what I’m telling the press who are calling in response to news received just this morning that the San Francisco City Attorney has issued a 13-page opinion claiming to invalidate the referendum petition on the Bayview Hunters Point Redevelopment Plan. According to City Attorney Dennis Herrera, the opinion was requested by Mayor Gavin Newsom, Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin, District 10 Supervisor Sophie Maxwell (BVHP is in District 10) and the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency. The City Attorney’s press release (at the bottom of this message) and the full opinion are posted front and center on his website, www.sfgov.org/cityattorney/.
