ANOTHER Open Letter to Mayor Willie Brown

SF Tenants' Prop H Under Attack
It is back to the barricades again for the tenants in San Francisco as a pro-landlord judge is about to rule against Prop H on the November 2000 ballot limiting capital improvement passthroughs by landlords to tenants. We need the entire progressive community of San Francisco to call all of the supervisors and make sure they support legislation that prevents landlords from stealing the hard-earned wages of tenants in the form of their latest racket, capital improvement passthroughs....

Support the People's Budget Collaborative
The People's Budget Collaborative is currently under attack by those Democrats who think protesting the actions of the current San Francisco Board of Supervisors is out of order. It is these Democrats who are out of order. The budget is prepared by the mayor and is only dealt with peripherally by the supervisors. The mayor can veto what the supervisors propose as it is the mayor's budget, which is to say, it is the budget of the capitalist class, represented by the Chamber of Commerce and ...
