Former Mayor Willie Brown has quite a bit to share this morning. His views in sum: dueling tax measures on the November ballot could be a good thing; President Obama might be encouraged to sing a couple more lines of “Let’s Stay Together” when he stops through town this week; Chinese New Year festivities in the city shine a light on local politicians’ pecking order; LED lights on the Bay Bridge will further position SF as a world tech capital; and the Heroes & Hearts auction is going strong. Whew! Take a gander.
