The Labor Council of San Francisco has helped Propostion F is a big way - on to victory.

Add to ACORN, Local Union 22, the Plumbers Union Local 38, the BVHP Project Area Committee, and the Citizens Advisory Committee to the Shipyard - and you could not have gathered a bunch of worse culprits - all with a dubious history, less integrity, and totally out of sync with San Franciscans and decent folks that want to do the right thing with Affordable Housing....

Proposition G bribes innocent constituents to vote for something they do not comprehend.
Proposition G has wasted millions trying to bribe innocent constituents who are bluffed to VOTE for a slate that lies about facts and blessed by pansy endorsers.

None of them would think in Kosher to mess with the Pacific Height Mafia....
