THE BORING BUDGET PROCESS - IS OVER - FINALLY THE PEOPLE SPOKE - SAN FRANCISCANS - KEEP BEGGING THE SF BOARD OF SUPERVISORS - TO DEAL WITH REAL ISSUES - ISSUES THAT DAILY - ADVERSELY IMPACT THEM.

 



San Francisco's skyline - the people suffering. Over 90,000 San Franciscans have left San Francisco.



The San Francisco Board of Supervisors' - the current bunch finally ended the SF Budget Process for 2021-2022 and 2022-2023.


Learn more about the SF Budget - 2021-2022 and 2022-2023:

https://sf.gov/resource/2021/city-budget-fiscal-years-2021-2022-and-2022-2023


The current budget discussed over $13.7 billion - for the years 2021-2022 and all sorts of promises made - to deal with homelessness, rents for those hurting, help for small businesses.

All kinds of promises that Mayor London Breed makes but never, ever keep.

Our infants, children, youth, young adults, our beloved Elders - those with compromised health are slowly dying - from ever-increasing and inundated with Toxic Stress.

Some of us advocates - have never seen such suffering - and more such disdain from the lying " politicians " who do not give a damn.

The many " virtual meetings " are long drawn out - politicians talking in circles - and those of us who have handled huge budget - achieved results in our lifetime - are astounded, confounded and, perplexed at this circus of sorts - right in the middle of a pandemic.

The Mayor London Breed makes $400,000 a year - had NO vetted Blue Print - talks a lot - but there is no walk.

In the interim, there is a rift with President Shamann Walton - challenging Mayor London Breed and her staff to stop criticizing him, the President of the SF Board and, his staff.

The Mayor London Breed attended one of those SF Board of Supervisors' meeting - where she attacked the President of the BOS - saying that Shamann Walton has brought it on himself - that he should not be criticizing the Mayor' staff and the behavior - cast a dark cloud - on everyone - and more in the middle of the pandemic.




The ever increasing billions - linked to the Sewer System Improvement Project started with $6 Billion - heading toward 
$12 Billion - and in 2026 - will cap at $20 Billion.





The Southeast Recreational Center at 1550 Evans Street -
half complete - with ongoing issues - and tied to Community Benefits some $300 million-plus wasted - the Bayview Hunters Point Community taken for a wild ride - in broad daylight.





Dennis Herrera was the SF City Attorney - he is now anointed as the General Manager of SF Public Utilities Commission - the former General Manager indicted on corruption charges.  
At one time, the SF City Attorney was investigating SFPUC - now, the fox is guarding the chicken coop. All this in the middle of the pandemic is mind blogging.  San Franciscans must tolerate the ploys, machinations, and shenanigans emitting from nefarious activities - the SFBOS, the SF Controller's Office, the 37,000 SF City employees - most confused and ordered around - the utter nonsense from most heads of departments linked to the City and County of San Francisco.


From 2004 to today, the SF Board of Supervisors has been aware that SF Public Utilities Commission - wasting money - more Community Benefits - over $300 million cannot be accounted for.

First, it was the Water System Improvement Project (WSIP) - and the Sewer System Improvement Project (SSIP).

The former General Manager Harlan Kelly and the Assistant General Manager for External Affairs/ Chief Strategist - Juliet Ellis - charged with criminal activities - have resigned and will face charges in court.

Others linked to the corruption have jumped ship, and more on the way -  the entire SF Public Utilities Commission is a mess.

Two former Commissioners jumped ship - Mrs. Caen and Francesca - the current Commission - has not been forthcoming -  the present SFPU Commission - agreed upon the selection of the current General Manager - were bypassed.

The Mayor interceded and anointed Dennis Herrera  - the current City Attorney - stalled, the process in the pipeline - and arrived at the current method of selecting a General Manager - uncalled for.  

Recently one SF Board Supervisor, Gordon Mar, initiated an audit.

The audit was linked to the Community Benefits related to the Sewer System Improvement Project (SSIP) - was told - that he could NOT have the necessary information and documents he asked for.

This situation is so sensitive - and so close to the current ongoing budget process - that it has caused -  inherent turbulence.

It does not help one Supervisor Aaron Peskin, who in the past has challenged the scruples ways of the SF Public Utilities Commission. Spending over $10 million - coming before the SF Board of Supervisors - any SF City Department must come before the SF BOS - before spending anything above $10 million.

No other SF Board of Supervisor besides Gordon Mar  - has the guts - Aaron Peskin too - but, right now, he must take care of something personal - that comes first. The SFPUC is corrupt - must understand this - and has tarnished the good name of San Francisco.




Dwayne Jones



Communities of Opportunity -
change starts here.


Dwayne Jones, who operates Rudolf Dwayne Jones Consultants - has been at the center of the misspent Community Benefits.
  Posing as a Philanthropist,  Outreach Expert, Expeditor and,  facilitator with anything to do with the Contract Monitoring Division (CMD) -still out there - wheeling and dealing - what the f*** is happening? 

From way back in 2004 - I have been dealing with Dwayne Jones - fleecing the community - with programs Communities of Opportunity - he tricked the City and County of San Francisco - over 3 million dollars. 

The then Governor, Gavin Newsom, let Dwayne Jones go -  only with a slap on his hand. 

The man does not live in San Francisco - come daily from the East Bay - to wheel and deal - here in San Francisco.

Dwayne Jones is anathema, and as much as - Law Enforcement knows the harm he is doing - he is still permitted to do as he pleases.

Hundreds of his payroll - now are not being paid - from his treasure chest - Community Benefits.

Money - that belongs to the taxpayer - who the hell is this crook who has access to the higher level crooks - crooks - who one by one are being indicted and will land in jail.




Juliet Ellis - appointed by Gavin Newsom - 
on the SF Public Utilities Commission - then she jumped ship
to take the position of Assistant General Manager of External Affairs - added a title by herself - Chief Strategist - and was
indicted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation -
where do they find such " thugs " give them jobs -
and allow them to fleece the taxpayers of San Francisco?


During the pandemic - the over $300 million - could have been used
to help our infants, our children, our youth, our young adults - our beloved Elders - those with compromised health. More our mentally and physically challenged. 

Daily as part of my work - I have to deal with the infants, children, youth, young adults, our beloved Elders - all suffering and slowly dying - while the politicians - some in bed with the crooks I have mentioned - kicking the can - down the street.

Over 90,000 San Franciscans have left San Francisco - never to return to San Francisco.

Most contributed more than the crooked politicians and their lackeys will - accept every day fleecing the innocents - failing to represent - scumbags who should have nothing to do - with decent human beings - more, dealing with astute, decent, hardworking - San Franciscans.

San Francisco is where the United Nations was formed. The framers signed the document at the War Memorial building on Vanness - by SF City Hall.

We have U.N Plaza, and no one pays attention to the historic site - more human rights - and empathy.

It is a shame we have over 12,000 homeless - people sleeping in tents.

Mayor, London Breed, agreeing to pay $60,000 per tent for a year.

More - with three free meals, a pit stop to defecate, and a shower of sorts.  While all the time the surrounding is filthy - those living in the tents - unkempt. 

The Mayor London Breed - is NOT a leader - she is a panderer - she is in bed with the developers. She has NO vision - she loves barking up the wrong tree.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) must audit the  SF Mayor's  Office - and find out - how millions were wasted by the SF Emergency Office and the hub situated at Moscone East.

Thousands of hotel rooms were rented - someone made thousands - and we must know - how our Federal Stimulus money was spent - make no bones about it.

Again and again -  violence and dirty streets linked to San Francisco - make National and Internation headlines - and the SF Board of Supervisors - make light of such news - which has tarnished the proper name - of the City and County of San Francisco.

San Francisco survived the 1906 Earthquake and Fire  - the 1918 pandemic, the 1989 Earthquake, the 2008 recession - and many other more minor hurdles in between.

This Novel COVID pandemic 2020 - has hit us very badly. It has touched the thousands of decent San Franciscans - that made this great City and County of San Francisco. Only those with empathy can feel the pain - and the pain and loss of life are too much to - endure. Aho.
