6 to 5 Vote to Privatize Golden Gate Park

by San Francisco Voter
The 6 to 5 vote of the 11 Democrats on the Board of Supervisors to extend the fee of $7 to enter the Botantical Garden-arbotoreum at Golden Gate Park, currently charged to out-of-towners but like the Japanese Tea Garden, will be extended to locals, was: For: David Chiu, Mark Farrell, Scott Wiener, Carmen Chu, Malia Cohen and Sean Elsbernd. Against: John Avalos, David Campos, Jane Kim, Eric Mar and Ross Mirkarimi.
With this fee, the Botanical Garden-arbotoreum is practically empty. All of these fee schemes are privatization of Golden Gate Park, prime real estate. Here is the agenda item:

If you are opposed to privatizing Golden Gate Park but would rather see the end of the police department for example, who each make about $100,000 a year and up plus benefits while either engaging in speed traps such as on Stockton near Sutter right outside the tunnel or engaged in shooting people with guns and tasers, both lethal force, please call all 11 supervisors. They all have voice mail so you can leave a message at any time. See:
