Even with Newsom lapcat Bevan Duffy supporting part of Chris Daly's Renter Relief Package, the mayor still vetoed what might have provided a modicum of financial relief for SF renters. (As opposed to, say, homeowners who have seen some help from the government during the recession.) Ted Gullicksen of the San Francisco Tenant’s Union had this to say about Newsom's veto.

He’s more concerned about getting contributions from the real estate industry for his run for governor than he is about the people of San Francisco being hit by recession ... He has vetoed almost every piece of pro-tenant legislation as a mayor, and opposed every piece when he was a supervisor.

That sounds about right Or whatever.

In other news. Rosie O'Donnell, a New York / Florida lesbian, and Metallica's Lars Ulrich, noted hater or technology and the future, donated loads of money to Newsom's gubernatorial campaign.
