Fighting over a Dollar!

Health Care or Safety? Social Workers or Firemen? Homeless Shelters or Police?
That is what the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and Mayor Gavin Newsom are up against
And the drama that unfolded outside City hall on June 16th 2009 indicates all are Hot Button issues, or in other words if City residents want Police then they will have to cut health care, if they want firemen then they will have to cut homeless or self help related organizations.
Its not an easy decision, but one thing for sure is that the some of the Supervisors, namely John Avalos and Chris Daly are willing to talk and come up with a plan that would make it possible for every entity to SHARE the pain.

Public Process? What is gavin smoking?  The BOS have had numerous preliminary budget hearings on every department including firemen and cops. This is why we have been seeing the save our neighborhood firehouse door hangers and signs for 2 months now. They anticipated this. The mayor would know this if he ever attended or cooperated with the SF BOS, as he was urged to by 2005's prop I. Gavin is an opportunist who had no transparency or public input in his budget. Thank you Supervisor Avalos!
