Apartment Investment Management Company (AIMCO) adversely impacted hundreds.
For the first time is recent history have so many African American and Latinos stood shoulder to shoulder - as sisters and brothers - to fight for the rights and expose corruption of the highest order. Victim after victim testified before Supervisor Jake McGoldrick - the Chair of the Neighborhood Services Committee - with Supervisor Sophie Maxwell going with the flow - when she was responsible for a lot of the madness. AIMCO has adversely impacted hundreds and must be punished for harming so ...

100% signature verification will expose the SF Department of Elections and bring victory.
We really did not accept the SF Department of Election to be fair. Surely, not the section controlled by Deborah Brown. Without Observers from our side the Lennar driven Initiative had a Raw Count and random sampling of signatures and just like that passed the validity - test. When it came for our Raw Count - that were two totals issued and finally a certified Raw Count of 11,811. Then came the time for the random sampling and the SF Department of Elections - faked it and announced to the pre...

Lennar BVHP LLC spends $850,000 plus on fake Bayview, Jobs, Parks and Housing Initiative.
The is NO justice in this Nation when a Rogue company like Lennar BVHP LLC is on the loose and will do all in their power to misuse and harm mostly poor folks.

CDLAC State Funds wasted by Apartment Investment Management Company (AIMCO) in SF.
California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC) has plenty of money to waste. In the Bayview this committee CDLAC handed over $73 million on a platter to waste. AIMCO that once was fined by the City and County of San Francisco $3 million - was supported by the District 10 Supervisor and others including Mayor Gavin Newsom. AIMCO contracted the rehabilitation work to Fortney and Weygandt and the rest is history. They wasted over $73 million of California State Bond money....

Mayor Gavin Newsom takes City Department heads on a tour on Sunnydale - duh!
Reacting to a serious of articles in the drab SF Chronicle - Mayor Gavin Newsom takes his mostly inept Department Heads for a tour of Sunnydale - one of many Public Housing Project in total disrepair and despicable conditions in San Francisco. The residents call it the "swamp". This City should have addressed the situation at hand years ago - when Diane Feinstein was Mayor - but not so. Congresswoman Pelosi could have done something - but she has chosen to sit on the fence and watch....
