text Leno, Peskin Push to Stop Speculator Evictions by Beyond Chron (reposted)
Board President Aaron Peskin will introduce a resolution today to put the Board of Supervisors on record in support of AB 781, which prevents speculator evictions under the state Ellis Act. Peskin's action follows a dramatic North Beach press conference last Friday (ignored by the Chronicle) where Assemblymember Leno was joined by victims of speculator evictions from across San Francisco. Opponents to the bill argue that protecting the city's rental housing stock is anti-homeownership, and ma...

textUC workers are paid so little that they depend on welfare to get by by sfbg (reposted)
First the governor proposed a rule change that could eliminate lunch breaks for California workers. Now, if a new report about the University of California is correct, it seems lunchroom workers themselves are paid so little at UC campuses that many of them qualify for nine public subsidies for the poor, including food stamps and public housing....

textSchwarzenegger Threatens California State Teachers Retirement System by PWW (reposted)
Four big squares marked “vacant” sat alongside photos of remaining board members on the California State Teachers Retirement System (CalSTRS) web site this week. It seems the squares’ former occupants (two Republicans and two Democrats) had the nerve to vote against Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s proposal to privatize pensions of all new state workers, including teachers, into a 401(k)-type system starting in 2007, and his proposal to shift onto local school districts the state’s contribution t...

text6000 more to go: Assessing San Francisco’s Homeless Count by Beyond Chron (reposted)
When the number of homeless General Assistance recipients fell from 2497 in May 2004 to 697 in January 2005, nobody should be surprised that the number of homeless persons in San Francisco has apparently declined by 28% since 2002. Both sides of the Care not Cash dispute argued that it would reduce the number of homeless welfare recipients, and everyone was proved right. But there remain nearly 6000 homeless persons in San Francisco, and the city must create new options for housing them....

textSF SOS Launches Lies at Leno by Beyond Chron (reposted)
SF SOS is at it again. After its hate-filled mailings against Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval caused Senator Dianne Feinstein and GAP founder Don Fisher to leave the group, SF SOS has now set its sites on Assemblymember Mark Leno. SF SOS leader Wade Randlett sent a mass e-mail yesterday attacking Leno for allegedly sponsoring a bill that “would create a five-year waiting period for anyone who buys a home and wants to live in it instead of renting it out.” Is there no limit to the group’s lies?...
