Disability Perspective: Parking Reforms for the Disabled (But Without Us ... Again) Thursday, July 23, 2009 : A modest proposal: Only people using disabled parking placards can park at legal on-street spaces in San Francisco.

Chronicle “Expose” Seeks to Protect Newsom Thursday, July 23, 2009 : When the July 22 edition of the San Francisco Chronicle headlined, “Is Newsom Stretching the Facts?,” some may have been surprised. After all, the Chronicle has promoted Gavin Newsom’s career since he entered politics; and while it has criticized him more in recent years, a major story implying that “the campaigning mayor touts major San Francisco successes as his own” appears to be a sharp critique of Newsom’s gubernatorial campaign....

Supes Work to Protect San Francisco Budget Wednesday, July 22, 2009 : Under the cloud of Sacramento’s awful budget deal, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed the City budget yesterday – knowing state cuts (including a raid on local government funds) will put us right back in the hole. The City Charter gives Gavin Newsom the power to make unilateral mid-year cuts, so the Board debated how to prevent a Mayor – who has dissed the legislative branch for years – from gutting $43.7 million in services they had just restored....

Biotechnology Gathering In Quebec: Please PROTEST! The new world leaders, i.e, pharmaceutical companies and their dupes in government, the military, and our schools are gathering to discuss biotechnology's profitability in Montreal through the 22nd of July.

San Francisco NSA wiretapping at AT&T- whistleblower's story They sometimes call national security the third rail of politics. Touch it and, politically, you're dead.
The cliché doesn't seem far off the mark after reading Mark Klein's new book, "Wiring up the Big Brother Machine ... and Fighting It." It's an account of his experiences as the whistleblower who exposed a secret room at a Folsom Street facility in San Francisco that was apparently used to monitor the Internet communications of ordinary Americans.
Klein, 64, was a retired AT&T commun...

BART Employees: Not as Greedy or Detached from Reality As You Probably Think Friday, July 17, 2009 : This week, the majority of BART’s employees will decide whether to accept executives’ offer for a contract covering the next four years of their service to the transit agency, or urge their negotiating team to keep trying.

The San Francisco BUDGET process has huge loopholes and some still pandering to the Mayor. Nothing good can come from Carmen Chu and Bevan Dufty sitting on the Budget Committee and mostly pandering. They pander to the Mayor's wishes and you could see that with the agenda item linked to the Human Services Agenda and the Stimulus Package. The so called Progressives have not got a grip on LIFE and must learn that you cannot afford to take chances with snakes and deadly venom that can kill. You have two snakes on the Budget Committee and so be extra cautious and take all necessary meas...

Where is Richard Blum on this one? Where is Willie L. Brown Jr. "the thug" on this one. Where are the other sell outs on this one?...

San Francisco City Budget to Pass Board Today Tuesday, July 14, 2009 : Today, the Board of Supervisors will vote on the final budget – and consider a Charter Amendment that would give such appropriations teeth. It also happens to be the 14th of July – the French National Holiday that Americans call “Bastille Day,” which is an apt coincidence. Consider the following: Mayor Gavin Newsom proposed a “let them eat cake” budget this year that slashed health and human services, but progressive Supervisors demanded some égalité in the cuts....
