Today voters need to beware when going to the polls to vote because much is at stake. Voters need to study the propositions and read their Official Voter Information Guide; and for those who will not, they need to vote no to spending their hard earn dollars and the future savings of our children. Voters should not be persuaded by expensive TV commercials because those commercials are more expensive than what we can realize....

A new poll of California Latinos shows a deep dislike of Governor Schwarzenegger. In this poll of 600 Spanish-dominant likely voters, the governor has higher disapproval ratings than President Bush, and is losing to his opponent Phil Angelides by 64 percent to 21 percent. Spanish-dominant Latino voters make up about 10 percent of the California electorate, with all Latinos now representing about 18 percent of the electorate as a whole....

While the San Francisco Chronicle has repeatedly questioned campaign donations to District 4 Supervisor candidate Jaynry Mak, the paper has ignored troubling contributions made to its favored candidate, Doug Chan. Last Friday, the Mak campaign revealed that the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) and the San Francisco Association of Realtors have spent nearly $25,000 in mailings on Chan’s behalf. Significant donations were also made by downtown interests whose priorities may well ...

With Carla Marinucci’s endless cheerleading for Schwarzenegger’s re-election, one wonders if the San Francisco Chronicle’s reporters have money at stake on the Governor serving another term. The October 12 Chronicle reported that former Supervisor Reverend Amos Brown has endorsed Arnold and shot a television commercial for his re-election. In order to give weight to Brown’s endorsement, the Chronicle falsely identified Brown as “one of the Bay Area’s most outspoken progressives.” In truth, he...

During the run-up to the 2006 election campaign for San Francisco District 8 supervisor, many claims have been made about the voting record of incumbent Bevan Dufty. Critics claim that Dufty is far too conservative to represent the progressive voters of District 8. Supporters claim that although Dufty’s record is conservative, he’s become increasingly progressive during his four-year term. As a concerned District 8 resident, rather than succumb to the rhetoric I decided to analyze Dufty’s vot...

[T]he tenants at 1030 Post Street have struggled for the last several months to save their homes, as the new landlord attempts to raise their rent or kick them out – all under the auspices of “creating” affordable housing. KDF Communities, an Orange County-based property management company, bought the 64-unit building and applied for a federal tax credit to run it as a “rent-regulated” building. Tenants who were above or below the program’s income guidelines were told they must leave, and tho...
