Supervisors and Mayors Office Weigh in on the People’s Budget
Four of the five supervisors on the Budget and Finance Committee (Ammiano, Daly, Dufty and Mirkarimi) as well as the Mayor’s budget director (Nani Coloretti) were the guests of honor at yesterday's monthly Senior Action Network (SAN) meeting at St. Mary’s Cathedral. They were present to weigh in on the Aging and Disability community’s section of the 2007 Peoples Budget. Because of the Brown Act, no more than 2 Supervisors could be in attendance at one time so their appearances had to be staggered -- two at a time. The four supervisors and Ms. Coloretti took questions from the community and had the chance to show their support for the specific items in the Peoples Budget by placing grossly oversized dollar bills (adorned with the famous SAN member Juanita Negrete’s photo) into a large “People’s Piggy Bank” if they were in favor of the proposals.
