Compromise Can Be Healthy Too

It looks like there might be peace in our time as a deal is in the works over the whole Healthy Saturdays thing. Apparently, city officials are trying to work out a compromise between fans of the plan and supporters of the Dede Wilsey Shrine to Her Wilsey-ness. No details have emerged yet, but apparently Gavin has been meeting with both sides to figure something out.

The battle over Healthy Saturdays was sort of at a stalemate until a study was released saying that attendance to the museums were up on Sundays when John F. Kennedy Drive was closed. That put a lot of pressure on opponents of the plan to come up with a rational reason to no longer support the initiative. It was enough to convince Warren Hellman and that dude has a lot of sway over things.

Disabled activists (or as Matt Smith calls them, suckers) are still unhappy with all this and threatening to raise a ruckus over it all. In other words, this still isn't quite a go yet but it's looking like something is in the works. SF Party Party is also reporting that Sophie Maxwell, who at one point voted for closure, is back on the fence and are looking for people to get her off of it.
