The spineless SF Board of Supervisors - talking the talk but failing to walk the walk.

by Francisco Da Costa
The present SF Board of Supervisors talk the talk but fail - again and again to walk the walk. The superficial meetings and events that these buffoons attend - will NOT help this great City and county of San Francisco. We have no sound leadership and as I said very little action - worth the salt. Added to the on going confusion - the long list of those running for Mayor - one worse than the other. An Interim Mayor that is pandering to the status quo.

San Francisco needs leadership but unfortunately we do not have it in San Francisco. The downtown folks are now in control and the leadership from those SF Board of Supervisors - who are supposed to REPRESENT those that need help - are looking the other way with no help coming - almost nil.

This City and County of San Francisco is not about pandering to the rich and those that are GREEDY.

Again and again we see SF Board of Supervisors - that ran a campaign saying that they would support the people and improve things in San Francisco - fall by the way side and wallow with the filthy hogs in the muck.

Now, in San Francisco one salient feature or character of note is being single - and having a life style that is dubious in nature. We see that in the majority of the SF BOS - most of them do not believe in having families and what is more supporting sound families.

Thousands of families have left San Francisco - I mean a genuine father, a mother, with children. These families tried and finally gave up.

The growing constituency in San Francisco are DOGS. Over 150,000 of them and with cats and pet rats - more. Fire your imagination and take several for the road.

Believe you me the SF BOS will soon discuss dogs on their feeble agendas. They prefer to do this because most of the SF BOS prefer to be with dogs, act like them - pee of anything of importance and sniff anything to see where they last left their scent. After all when one dog sees another dog they wag their tails, bark a little, visit the sites they like to sniff - and mostly endure any type of treatment.

We have an interim Mayor and all he is doing - is following the status quo.

He knows he really does not want to be Mayor - because he cannot face the on going deficit in the SF BUDGET that will soon be over $60 million. But, we have a train moving fast in our direction linked to pensions, health benefits, other compensations, over time, and other dubious types of insurance coverage - over a Billion and growing.

These unfunded assets are what the SF BOS should bother about - and reveal to the astute constituents of San Francisco - how they plan to balance the REAL budget.

We are fed up with the rosy picture these good for nothing wanabees paint - they are in office more to cater to a certain clientele, entities that favor GREED, the Pacific Heights Mafia - and of course that perennial "thug" of a kind - Willie L. Brown Jr. who is pulling strings and raking in the millions.

The present race for the up coming Mayoral Race is a joke. How many candidates do we want to have running for Mayor of San Francisco. Judging from the character of the candidates not one of them has the better interest of San Francisco.

For sure not Bevan Dufty, Michela Alioto-Pier, Phil Ting, and Dennis Herrera. Who is trying to fool whom - Bevan Dufty has always been a lackey of Willie L. Brown Jr. - gone are the days when he was allowed some room in politics - his days are numbered. Complete with his petri-dish gimmicks and his mouth that spews too much diatribe.

Michela Alioto-Pier is dreaming of running her wheels up the $400,000 ramp in the SF BOS chambers. Wont happen! Another lackey of Willie L. Brown Jr.

Phil Ting better rejoice that he has a job. Throwing his hat wont attract the astute San Francisco constituent to vote for him. This man has some ulterior motives - mostly full of sordid ploys and machinations.

Dennis Herrera, the present City Attorney - has never been for truth and has used his power to initiate Gang Injunction that have not done anything much - accept divide people and families. When we collected over 300, 000 signature to put SF Redevelopment on the Ballot linked to Bayview Hunters Point and the SF Redevelopment Agency - he led the charge to disqualify our Ballot - even after the SF Department of Elections - certified our Ballot. Time will tell.

Of course there are the other candidates and time is on our side. Let us deal with the most dubious and then we can weed out the chaff and describe the other - when time permits and after I have been down under and hopefully come back to San Francisco.

San Francisco is unique and the majority of the living population - some 816,000 are Seniors. Mostly above 55 years and older and of course many of the age 65 years and older. There are few candidates that want to Represent them. The paradox is that these SENIORS can choose their candidate- and must vote for only those that have a platform that caters to their needs.

If you smell a RAT and what is more see one up close and personal - avoid having anything to do with a smelly rat and one that can spread - the plague.

As far as health issues are concerned the SF General Hospital is going to the hogs. The SF General Hospital has $1 Billion budget - but things are in a mess. It would have been worse - but, that scumbag Mitch Katz fled the scene - and did so because he knew with Gavin Newsom gone - there would be no one to back him.

Front line qualified nurses are being treated like dirt and those that truly need help, have to wait and wait and wait. The Emergency line at SF General Hospital is pathetic - and what was once a well run department is now in dire, shambles. What are our SF Board Of Supervisors doing about this?

Crime is on the increase. Crimes such as theft, assaults, stabbings and killings, home break ins, car thefts, pick pocketing - may I add more to the list. All over the City thefts are on the increase. There are so many thefts at WESTFIELD, the downtown shopping Center - that some are contemplating to install a small Police Station at the shopping mall - to deal with the growing problem.

The present SF Police Commission is a joke - and the SF Police Department dysfunctional. We have given promotions to some outsiders - while permitting those Police Officers nurtured and grown in San Francisco to be discriminated, demoted, taunted, abused - and now suddenly we want results.

The void created at the District Attorney Office is suspect and the promotion given - dubious in nature. We move persons around - much like Willie L. Brown Jr. did - and the hiring of the many inept Personnel Assistants that Willie hired - have now got their tenure and looking forward to a hefty pension - let along our constituents paying for their health benefits, cozy treatments and other perks.

The same can be said of CityBuild and the millions wasted by the Mayor's Office of Economic Development and Workforce. People are being moved around and some have taken shelter at SF Public Utilities Commission - and other such dubious departments - be their Enterprise Departments that make them more - suspect.

The corruption is noted and we are seeing a revolt of sorts on the East Coast - and it will come to San Francisco. We cannot just keep on paying inept employees some 28,000 plus and over forty percent of them making over $125,000 with perks. Screw that.

We have a population of 816,000 that works out - for every 29 constituents we have one lousy City Worker. Our population does grown to over a million and half - during the day and then folks leave leaving their stench and laughing all the way to the bank.

Once, not too long ago our SF Board of Supervisors made $38,000 - now they make over $116,000. They get so much time off - it is a joke. Last week Monday was a holiday - but, some how they took the whole week off. Canceled the meetings and there is no one to take these vermin to task. They do this all the time - if a Monday is a holiday - somehow they figure to take the whole week off.

Public comment has become a JOKE - with one idiot ranting in Arabic and saying one thing, then translating the stuff some and saying more in English that cannot be translated on topic that are totally different - from what he said first. He is given four minutes for this ranting and always reserves the privilege to speak - first. This nonsense must stop.

The Main Media that is the drab Examiner and the SF Chronicle are not worth reading.

Just read the Washington Post, the LA Times, the Mercury News, and then see the excreta that is published in the Examiner and SF Chronicle. Of course once these two newspapers were worth the salt not any more. That is what has become of the SF Board of Supervisors and the corruption and prevailing largess.

Soon a saturation point will come about - and there will be a reaction never seen before.

Those that take representing for granting, now performing daily gimmicks will be brought to their knees. Representing means serving the people - not being pompous, faking issues and not being uneducated on issues. Worse saying one thing and doing another.

This Nation is a Republic, our Democracy so far has stood the test of time - and getting rid of vermin is easy - it can be done in more than one way - at the Ballot but better still in our courts - charges of corruption are due for not only present sitting SF BOS but those that have left and continue hovering in circles - raking in the thousands and pandering to the Mafia.

We are watching.

The present candidates for Mayor must announce their platform on the above issues. Health, Safety, our schools and truancy, the failing transportation system, lack of sound affordable housing, pollution and contamination, the over 1200 hot spots all over San Francisco, the Carbon Footprint that we brag about but is far from the truth - and more.

Let us not for a moment think that the America's Cup will bring grace to our City - disgrace is what comes with associating with the filthy rich and this drab race of sorts.

Let us not a moment think that some great development will happen at Pier 70. Keep on dreaming. There is a million tons plus of coal tar that most idiots do not know is there to be cleaned. Add to that an Ammonia spill that has impacted the Watershed.

Hunters Point is Super Fund site that the District 10 Supervisor cannot comprehend. There is only so much of grinning like a Jack Ass that anyone can do - a day comes when you have to deal with reality. In spots there is over 60% of unemployment in District 10 and she still keeps thinking that by grinning she will accomplish something.

Thousands suffer from diseases such as aids, asthma, cancer, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, there is a pandemic waiting to happen. This is no joke - but no one really wants to address the issues in District 10. Add to that truancy, domestic violence, and the gradual lack of Quality of Life issues.

This guy from the Castro wants to target the poor and recycling. Favor dogs over human beings. That is what happens when we permit an idiot from New York to reveal that they are out of the closet and then permit them to target those that have fallen on back luck and to circumstances beyond their control.

I once saved a man who was a relation of one of President's of the United States. He was poor, had mental problems, and when I received that call - I said Mr. President we are in this all together. But for the Grace of God!

We have a $6.9 Billion dollar SF City budget - we embrace the fake America's Race that will bring this City down.

Much as we have embraced LENNAR, the SF Redevelopment Agency, and fake HOPESF at Potrero Hill, Huntersview and Sunnydale - SF Redevelopment is dying on the vine and rightly so. The SF Planning Department issued fake Environmental Impacts Report on Hunters Point Naval Shipyard and the SF BOS - agreed with the demons.

These so called SF BOS are a disgrace to the human race. They spew diatribe every occasion they get - talk the talk but fail to walk the walk.
