Mayor Gavin Newsom and his project team met with billionaire Larry Ellison last week for a preliminary viewing of the City's bid to host America's Cup. Did they dazzle? The Chron and Ex report that there will be a central village along the pier and a giant web structure that emulates a sail. I'm dazzled. Let's go SF!
Consider this your ten day warning: The City Insider team reports that there may be a Muni driver "sickout" from September 14 to 17. Though unknown to a Muni operator union leader, a flyer is circulating, calling for Muni operators to use their power and strike. (Smart move or cockamamy with the approaching "Fix Muni Now" initiative? Discuss.) Plus, in other transit news, Muni is restoring 61% of its previously cut routes, and the Recreation and Park Commission approves an ice skating rink at Civic Center and a classic auto show in GGP.
This is where you go to figure out who's running in every race, read all the news stories we've found that cover each race, and to make sure you have all the baseline information necessary to be an up-to-date political operative. (Or sound informed at that dreary cocktail party, at least.) We keep this resource current and complete - but let us know if we've missed something! Thanks! Sincerely, Your Usual Suspects Team
After a series of muggings and violent crimes in San Francisco's parks and at public landmarks, the City considers cracking down on park usage after hours. Seriously, muggers and violent crimers: enough is enough. We know life is hard and the economy has the majority of folks down and out, but do something constructive. Paint. Join a dance troupe. Express yourself through poetry or spoken word. Read a free book from the public library. Exercise. Get a counselor or join a talking circle; they're free too. Seriously.- Home
