We have seen banners - such as the one above -
wear out - tethered and torn - removed -
the proclamation - shallow and deceiving -
the crooks behind such programs have amassed
millions - one of them - Dwayne Jones.
San Franciscans are astute - many of them well read - and many who continue to participate as good citizens - attending meetings, sharing sound thoughts.
Trying their best of contribute to our Great City and County of San Francisco. Americans by large measure - want the best for most of us - that contribute to Society.
Our City named after Saint Francis of Assisi. A saint who had much compassion - his acts of compassion and empathy - says it all. This more than ever - encourages us with fortitude to address Quality of Life issues.
We now have 8 candidates - and all of them are vying for the position of Mayor of San Francisco.
As I said - many times before - we are a City and County of San Francisco - and have a City Charter that needs to be changed.
When we talk about changes - some do not want it - because they are afraid that a can of worms will be opened. Those that are " afraid " - sweating right now - sellouts that I have mentioned again and again.
I hope - that if someone with decency, morals, ethics - becomes the Mayor in June, 2018 - our City and County of San Francisco - will curtail - the blatant corruption - in San Francisco - that has reached - saturation point.
This situation - when after a Mayor - ceases to be a Mayor in mid-term - as a result of extraordinary circumstances - has happened before.
A former SF President of the Board who led the Legislative process - stepped in as Interim Mayor - and assumed the role of Interim Mayor - and thus was in charge of the Executive privileges. Her name Diane Feinstein who is now a Senator in Washington DC - and represents California.
Our Founding Fathers - were clear on this issue - that I am talking about.
Always reminding us - that these two bodies - the Executive and Legislative Branch - should be separate.
On many other levels we have the Judicial Branch - that keeps the balance. As it is on the Federal Level.
If we have come clue - if we care - to study the key deliberations - at the State and Federal levels - we can learn what works and what does not work. Conflict of interest - is what we want - not at any level - and much more here in San Francisco.
Here in San Francisco - just to remind all - more decent, hard working, tax paying, San Franciscans - we once had the Legislative Branch the SF Board of Supervisors - and the Executive Branch the Executive Branch.
For those that are in the dark - we one had an Independent Voice - the City Administrator. Few seem to remember this fact - the last one who exercised this right was Bill Lee - who is good friend to mine.
In 1996 - the City Charter was amended by Mayor Willie L. Brown Jr., and just like that the Executive Branch now controls the City Administrator.
The City Administrator does the bidding of the Mayor - and as a bonus get a 10 year term - all vetted - a Proposition put out there for all of us to vote.
The citizens of San Francisco voted - but few understood - the under lying factors - that took away the independence of the City Administrator - who is second to the Mayor of San Francisco - if something - does happen - and the sitting Mayor cannot - do her or his duty.
Bill Lee first had to endure that humiliation. When Edwin Mah Lee was chosen by Willie L. Brown Jr. with a ten year term - the " die was cast "- and corruption of the worst order came to be.
When Edwin Mah Lee anointed Noami Kelly - in stepped Willie L. Brown Jr. drawing a contract - a ten year contract for the present City Administrator - Naomi Kelly.
I have nothing against Naomi Kelly - I have something when such drastic changes are made - and I have something against longer terms.
Much as Willie L. Brown Jr. detested his term in Sacramento - as Speaker of the House - a law was passed - to reduce it terms to two full terms - and after that - whoever was Speaker - had to bid adieu.
Of course Willie L. Brown Jr. detested that fact - but has to live with it - but, always finds a way - to place someone in an important position - to carry on his very nefarious activities.
San Francisco is a very corrupt City - and the pay to play - the wheeling and dealing - has reached saturation point - the corruption of the highest order - is recognized here at home - by most people in the know and are decent.
Books have been written about the corruption - those that have read the book - " Season of the Witch " by David Talbot - get some sense about Willie L. Brown Jr. and others.
It is amazing how so many feel that just because someone who is NOT educated on issues, has no track record linked to stellar legislation, has failed San Francisco when it comes to solutions on very high rent, the eviction of an over 100 year old Black woman Mrs Canada from her home.
Where she had lived for year - for 40 years - was cheat and lied - ( died because of this shock ). Those in charge at City Hall - more the President of the Board - could have done something - but did nothing at all.
Again and again some who have no idea about our City and County of San Francisco works - asks me - who do I favor as the next mayor - among the 8 who have thrown their hat in the ring.
For starters none of them - have provided us - in a meaningful way - a " PLATFORM " that makes sense and finds solutions.
Addressing our failing infrastructure, the congestion on our roads, the increase in the Carbon Footprint, Sea Level Rise which is reality - that will adverse impact us more - five and for sure ten years - from - now.
Serious issues that impede progress - linked with Transportation - ferry boats, buses, and for sure our high speed train - now declared " dead on arrival " - started with a projected amount of $37 Billion and now has reached closer to $97 Billion and growing.
Many related projects - the TransBay project - is begging the question - from where are we going to get the money - to complete the TransBay project - and why is it costing us so much ?
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission - is hoodwinking us all - it has put on a bid to the Non-Profits - issuing 4 grants - the entities who will get the grants - have already been chosen - behind the scenes - such are the workings of Juliet Ellis - who keeps - hoodwinking the public at large.
These grants - as I said one million each - have never, ever been vetted by the Public at Large. It is our tax payers money - and non one - NOT Juliet Ellis who has been fined by the SF Ethics Commission and more by the Fair Action Political Practices - for sending in access of $200,000 to Green For All - where she sat on the Board - and is headquartered in Oakland, California.
The bid elements favor those that have been already favored and chosen - most wheel and deal - linked with Workforce Development - for sure we know Young Community Developers (YCD) is one of them.
The case mangers working at at YCD the worst over - one has just to open the case of Emere Jackson - who was killed in broad daylight - who worked for IPO - and his Case Manager who has yet to be questioned - and worked for YCD.
Girls 2000 will be chosen to get a million - to carry on the program linked to " Pit Stops " - better know and acknowledged as " Shit Stops ".
The programs operated by Girls 2000 - lack upward mobility - and if any line item audit is done - most of those getting the money - will be caught with their hand in the " cookie jar ".
Those in charge - who rake in thousands for themselves - are treating the workers - with disdain.
Offering them minimum wages - while exposing them to hazmat conditions - not caring - to give a second thought.
Workforce as it pertains - to the Bayview Hunters Point is a Joke - and YCD has received over $8 million in the last 2 years and has nothing much to show.
Young Community Developers (YCD) now is poised to receive the one million dollar grant - the Director who once was at 1800 Oakdale - the Southeast Community Facility Commission Building.
Dion who hails from Fresno - has jumped from 1800 Oakdale to become the Director of YCD - complete with all his funding in place - lock, stock and barrel.
The four grants - $1 million dollar each - are being fast tracked - in this " Interim Period " - when we do not have a Mayor.
The SF Public Utilities Commission - has calculated - how to disperse the grants - being more an Enterprise Department - and does not have to go before the SF Board of Supervisors - since the sum in below $10 million.
It is $4 million but to be sure - it is also tax payers money.
This money is now used to cater to those - who pay to play - wheel and deal - and there are sellouts most Blacks - and some work for the City and County of San Francisco - participate in FaceBook activities - while on the job - such characters must be charged by the RICO ACT and can be.
A simple investigation - with the right name - the FTE - the Department of the SF City and County of San Francisco - the date and time - can easily reveal - all the facts to land some one in jail. Do not use FB when you are working - dumb fool - while all the time - pontificating - when you are loser.
Some think they are smart - they are fools - much as they have been all their adult life.
So - I have revealed two entities - and could all four - but why should I.
The General Manager of the SF Public Utilities Commission knows about the many ploys, machinations, and shenanigans. He backs Juliet Ellis and does not know - that soon a can of worms will be open.
Crooks profit from the grants - and advocates who work hard - serve the community - are left to fend for themselves.
What favors the advocates that are honest - is people power - doing right, abiding by the laws - and fortitude.
I challenge the 8 candidates to look into the on going blatant corruption - on every level - and nip the nonsense in the bud.
How did the budget - linked to the Sewer System Improvement Project - reach $10 billion.
Started at $6 Billion - then $9 billion and now $10 Billion. It ties with the entire City and County of San Francisco Budget - which is also $ 10 Billion.
The 8 candidates now vying to become Mayor this June, 2018 - have their work cut out.
Those who are incumbent - now visiting childcare centers, bragging the can produce so called affordable housing - are missing the point.
Pretending to bring succor to the homeless - our seniors - more the Mentally and Physically Challenged - others with compromised health - could all have been - helped.
It is too late to make changes and pretend that one is capable of doing - this and that.
No one can change a chameleon - and right now we have one - as the Interim Mayor - she has NO clue - what is truly means to be a Mayor - she is shallow, inept, immoral, lacking ethics, and what is important to note - has NO standards what so ever. Prove me wrong.
This is Ohlone Land - and the only natives are the Ohlone - and those that the Ohlone believe understand their plight - the Ohlone are the true owners of all the land - each and every square inch - in San Francisco.
Once this land was pristine - no more - today the strangers have polluted and contaminated the land - they steal, cheat, rape, and pretend all is well.
It is a mockery when these strangers - pretend the can deliver when it comes to Quality of Life issues - more so when they DO NOT have their heart in the right place. Time will tell. Aho.
