Cronies vie for huge salaries and grants tied to San Francisco Redevelopment Agency
San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (SFRA) is poised to give cronies huge salaries and grants for doing nothing much but tow the line of the very corrupt SFRA in the Bayview. One consultant will get $283,500 for the next 3 for doing outreach for the SFRA when the money could be spent better. Another, now gets $160,000 and will get $175,000 again for doing nothing. These scum bags must be investigated....

Too many killings in the Bayview Huntes Point Area
Mayor Gavin Newsom once announced that if the killings did not stop and if they were greater then last year he would step down. Last year the tally was 88 now it is 96 and growing. We have a San Francisco Police Commission that does not work. We have a Office of Citizens Complaints that does not work. Over 70% of the killings have not been resolved. What is really happen to the City and County of San Francisco....

Permission to reprint granted by http://blackboxvoting.org
Due to contractual non-performance and security design issues, Leon County (Florida) supervisor of elections Ion Sancho has announced that he will never again use Diebold in an election. He has requested funds to replace the Diebold system from the county. On Tuesday, the most serious “hack” demonstration to date took place in Leon County. The Diebold machines succumbed quickly to alteration of the votes. This comes on the heels of t...

Death of Democracy in Ohio
The 2004 election in the Buckeye state was riddled with deception, fraud, intimidation, manipulation and outright theft, all of which were essential to the triumph of George W. Bush. In 2005, four electoral reform ballot initiatives were allegedly defeated despite huge poll margins showing the almost certain passage of two of them. The most credible explanation for their defeat lies in electronic manipulation of voting machines, tabulators and memory cards which the GAO confirms have no credi...

Arnold Lies, Tookie Dies
Last May, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger changed the Department of Corrections to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, a renaming many believed signaled a shift of the state from exclusively punishing criminals to a belief that with help, prisoners could turn their lives around. Last night, Schwarzenegger refused to stop the execution of a man who, while locked up, went from a gang leader to a prominent crusader against guns, drugs and violence. It's hard to imagine a better exam...

Once weak, always weak?
It appears that Tookie William's appeal for clemency could have been approved had he demonstrated greater remorse. If such a grave decision could be swayed by subjective displays of regret, then doesn't that mean the state's ethical foundations for killing one of its own citizens are more or less arbitrary?...
