I'm sure we can all just call '311' and have all of our budget problems solved instantly by our dashing mayor! 311: an ill-engineered layer of technoshellac over a dysfunctional, lethargic bureaucracy. 311 is a joke. -marc

Dist. 5 Ross Mirkarimi - Thoughtful, but falls in line when the whip is cracked Dist. 6 Chris Daly - The Decider, San Francisco "progressive" style - aka deaf bully Dist. 7 Sean Elsbernd - Signs of sensibility Dist. 8 Bevan Dufty - Brilliant, but not sure enough of his brilliance to stand up to The Decider Dist. 9 Tom Ammiano - Will do whatever it takes to win the Assembly seat, including falling in line behind The Decider Outlook not so good for keeping the City safe with extra police and Community Justice Center with 3 of the 5 Supervisors definitely bending over for The Decider.

Chris Daly has a blog? Hmm.... more like an editorial page paid for by the City. A blog would let me comment on his thoughts. Just like George W. "President Retard" Bush, Daly doesn't appear to want to listen to others. Blogs allow comments ... Daly's editorial page is just that. What is so sad about Daly is that his good intentions are ruined by his desire to personally attack Newsom and others, like a childhood bully .... oh well.

There was also an anti-recall-Peskin (anti-anti-Peskin?) rally at City Hall yesterday. I walked past it around 4 pm. Even more sparsely attended than the pro-recall.

The recall guy's pet issue is just ridiculous. Landlords ALREADY have the option of charging more for pets (and boy, do they exercise that option). They also can have extortionist pet deposits. This guy is clearly an idiot and he should go back to LA so he can live amongst his own types. This recall crap is getting ridiculously out of hand. Apparently these bozos have too much time on their hands. Don't these people have JOBS?

I called my supervisor (Ammiano) this morning. It sounds like they have had a few calls about this, Ammiano is pro Friends of the Urban Forest.

why does Daly want to cut support for Friends of the Urban Forest? This was sent out by FUF tonight: San Francisco's urban forest funding has been eliminated in Supervisor Daly's sudden new budget proposal. Currently, Friends of the Urban Forest receives $162,000 from the City to plant & maintain street trees in San Francisco, and this entire sum will be cut from the budget in Daly's proposal, meaning FUF will receive nothing from the San Francisco city budget to plant and maintain trees in the coming year. According to a UC Davis study, San Francisco derives a $7.5 million environmental and socio-economic benefit from its street trees each year, but this proposal would contribute zero funds from the City for groups like FUF to continue to ensure that the City maintains this benefit. ADDITIONALLY, $2.5 million will be cut from the City's own tree planting and maintenance program under this proposal. This means, for example, that the 1500 street trees planted earlier this year by the City will get no watering and maintenance, and will very likely die. YOU CAN STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING, BUT YOU MUST ACT NOW! The Board of Supervisors' Budget Committee will vote on this controversial proposal this Wednesday, June 13 at 1PM. There are five members on the committee, including Supervisor Daly, and if three Supervisors vote for this proposal, all this money will be cut from the budget, and the full Board of Supervisors (all 11 members) won't even get the chance to vote on it. (All told, Supervisor Daly's proposed alternatives to Mayor Newsom's budget total $37 million).
