Yesterday, the city's Board of Supervisors voted 9 to 2 to pass a $6.6 billion budget. Lonely dissenters, Supervisors Elsbernd and Chu rejected the budget as totally retarded. Young Elsbernd, supervisor for some district out there, somewhere, beyond West Portal and out by the zoo or someplace, cited the $45 million set aside proposed by Supervisor Campos to offset potential shortfalls from local and state sales tax revenue. He also had issues with various shifts of American dollars from one pile to another, primarily engineered by known lesbian communists, Supervisors Daly and Dreamy Mirkarimi. The various tweaks to the budget included a reported $800,000 cut from funding for the performing arts and $900,000 cut from the trial courts to be redistributed to the public defender and district attorney's
office.

Firebrand Daly reportedly only had one Chris Daly brand storm out attack session during negotiations, which is, let's face it, pretty good for him.

Daly and Dreamy Mirkarimi also wanted to move $1 million from convention facilities funding into the public campaign finance fund which has been gutted by the Mayor. Hrmmmm. Isn't that the same fund that told Chicken John Rinaldi to take a hike when he sought out funding for his mayoral campaign back in 2007? Has any independent candidate for any city office ever actually pulled funds from the public campaign finance fund?
