SF Billionaires Attack City Workers-Protest At Michael Moritz Mansion

On August 11, 2010, over a hundred San Francisco city workers and their families joined a protest in Pacific Heights at Billionaire Michael Moritz's fund
raiser for San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi and his proposition B ballot initiative proposition B. There are 18 billionaires in San Francisco that mostly reside
in Pacific Heights. Michael Moritz is one of these and he gave $245,000 to get this initiative on the ballot. This initiative will mean wage cuts for thousands of San Francisco public workers including teachers and retired workers.

LMFAO. For supporters of Prop B. So nice u believe the propaganda slung your way. Good luck when you pass this, and all the workers who live out of county (which seems to be a majority) end up walking with their feet, and take jobs elsewhere. Good luck when you have to report crime, have your infrastructure kept up when already, county workers are leaving, even before this passes. County workers have given back for the past few years. Go ahead, believe the slop.

@tylertyler82 Hey Tyler, you might want to look into ALL the concessions made by public workers in the past two years. Read up on it. And then read up on the REAL average pay of city workers instead of the supposed "$96,000" average stated by the Yes on Prop B campaign. And I love how Adachi wrote this so he would be excluded from its effects. Read up on the facts.

Ha. Pathetic. Public sector needs to dramatically shrink.

Listen to these people....making victims of themselves. "Single mother" - why did you have kids if you couldn't afford them?

Why do so many in this country create problema for themselves and then whine about their "needs" - needs which they created?

I am voting Yes on B, these are tough times, and city workers must share their burden of suffering along with the rest of us.

@TheJazzgrrl

Only 4 of the 12 public schools in SF are at state level, and Ca. ranks just about dead last in the nation.

I think Adachi better get some body guards. He's making a lot of enemies. F#&k SF and all the liberals who have turned it into the cesspool it is. If B passes it will only mean more foreclosures and will force people to move away.

Prop B is an attack on the working class.
