This SF Public Utilities Commission slogan - totally describes - the nonsense going on at the current SF Public Utilities Commission. Can anyone in their right mind - think that we would be here - watching these "thugs" wasting millions of taxpayers' money.
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission - has a change of guards.
Lackeys appointees are in the pipeline - the SF Public Utilities Commission's future is dubious at best.
Horrendous - if what we see happening is not stopped - and a deep needs assessment is done - to put operations on the right track.
Mr. Anson Moran - I thank you for your long and dedicated service. God bless you and your loved ones.
Mr. Anson Moran has thirty-three years of experience under his belt - leaving the SFPUC - seeing the lackeys take over - planning to hoodwink decent San Francisco - in broad daylight.
Mr. Anson Moran was given a plaque in the shape of a water meter - add to the usual commendation - and out the door, he goes.
This news does not come as a surprise.
Another SF Public Utilities Commission - Tim Paulson, the other seating Commissioner, was absent - maybe because Tim Paulson did not want to see the circus.
Witness a horror that he himself may experience - soon.
Sophie Maxwell and Newsha Ajami - are two seated SFPUC Commissioners - in cahoots - with General Manager Dennis Herrera - former SF City Attorney - now guarding the chicken coop.
The - SFPUC heading for a messy drastic spiral - the foggy future - billions of dollars spent - without any accountability and less transparency.
The former General Manager of SF Public Utilities Commission and my good friend. Ambassador to Bosnia - and an expert and leader when it came to large utilities. When he served on the SF Public Utilities Commission, Mr. Richard Sklar - would not tolerate the current corruption - and positioning of lackeys to do as they please.
I have been attending the SFPUC for a long time - I saw the most extraordinary General Manager, Richard Sklar, exercising his duties.
I also witnessed him speaking with authority and guiding those lost in the woods on the SF Public Utilities Commission.
Ed Harrington, a former General Manager, came to say goodbye to Mr. Anson Moran - that was nice of him.
Ed Harrington was on the SFPU Commission - some months ago - he left the SFPUC - it was nice to see him come to support Mr. Anson Moran, a good man. Although most do not know why Ed Harrington quit.
Former General Manager Harlan Kelly could have connected virtually - but he is busy singing the blues - indicted by the Feds.
I will send Harlan this article - so that he realizes - that he could have done a lot of good - but chose to be GREEDY.
Dennis Herera - the former SF City Attorney - now the current General Manager of the SF Public Utilities Commission - has no clue what is happening, making over $450,000. Pushing for behest payments - Sewer System Improvement Project started with a budget of $6 Billion and is now nearing $12 Billion - heading soon for $20 Billion - and the taxpayers' are taken for a wild ride.
The present General Manager, Dennis Herrera - at yesterday's SFPUC meeting - gave some commendations to a couple of SFPUC workers retiring.
He wanted to distract us - pretending to do some good - the folks - some in person at City Hall in Room 400 - others virtually present - watching the circus as I did at home.
I was informed of the ploys - and knew what was coming.
After the commendations were announced and commendations were given. Hurriedly no public comment was taken.
Dennis Herrera was bent on taking photographs. To hell with Public Comment - this could come after.
I spoke at Public Comment for a measly two minutes - with the retirees on behalf of San Francisco.
Sara was one of the retirees who helped the Muwekma Tribe on a project at Sunol.
I knew what was coming - as I was informed of the situation at hand - the sordid - changing of the guard.
Then just like that, after some niceties - Dennis Herrera announced that Mr. Anson Moran was vacating his seat as Chair of the SF Public Utilities Commission. Many were shocked, judging from the many emails and texts I received.
Tim Paulson was absent. So, Sophie Maxwell and Newsha are now positioning themselves to take control of the sordid situation at the SF Public Utilities Commission.
Sophie Maxwell - that slimy weasel - evil to the core - Clap.
Mr. Anson Moran was given his marching orders - what a fucking joke.
I took the insult in stride, heard it all, said what I had to say - mentioned Mr. Richard Sklar, a former General Manager and expert on utilities - thanked Ed Harrington, who came to thank Mr. Anson Moran - concluded by expressing my thanks to Mr. Anson Moran and asking God to bless him.
Mr. Richard Sklar, a good friend, passed some years ago. His spirit was present in Room 400 - watching the sordid state of affairs.
Sophie Maxwell likes to muddy the waters - behind the scenes positions herself to play a vital role on the SF Public Utilities Commission - has no clue about operations, less the projects and how the Primes have milked the system - starting with $6 Billion now $12 Billion, and that says it all.
I heard Sophie Maxwell talk about the disparity and help children in District 10 - she did nothing when she was the Supervisor of District 10. Sophie did this at the Rules Committee - where she was accepted for another term to serve on the SFPUC - which she is not qualified for. She acts like a panderer.
The constituents tried to recall her three times - when she was the District 10 Supervisor.
I had nothing to do with the recall - though - some thought I had.
Yesterday, the SF Public Utilities Commission - Sophie Maxwell - wanted to know more about some Financial institutions that deal with large amounts of money. The Financial expert hired by SFPUC was just informing the SF Public Utilities Commission - given the current world situation - Ukraine, the U.S. increase the credit rates, the many other trials and tribulations.
Sophie Maxwell is not fully aware of food security, higher gas prices, mortgage increases, and many other price increases.
More - Municipal Bonds - these experts know what they are doing.
Just knowing the names of the Financial institutions mean nothing - dear Sophie Maxwell.
It is important to note how SF Public Utilities have spent the money on the Water System Improvement Project (WSIP) - over $5 billion.
The Sewer System Improvement Project started with a $6 billion budget and now has a budget of $12 billion - this is taxpayers' money.
This taxpayers' money must be accounted for - with the taxpayers being informed and appraised from time to time - preferably - quarterly.
The SF Controller - Ben Rosenfield.
The SF Controller is Ben Rosenfield. We gave him information - which he sat on and gave the information to the former City Attorney - Dennis Herrera. The Federal Bureau of Investigation had to come in - follow the money - and bring indictments. Indicted Harlan Kelly - who could have done a lot of good. Harlan - with intent was greedy and disgraced himself and those that backed him all these years - as General Manager of SFPUC.
We brought the matter - wasting millions of dollars linked to the Sewer System Improvement Project - to the SF Controller.
The Controller Ben Rosenfield and his lackeys - gave the information to the former SF City Attorney - Dennis Herrera - now the present General Manage of the SF Public Utilities Commission.
We simply cannot have weak SF Public Utilities Commissioners on the Commission - who have no experience, lack wisdom - and are really there to back the corrupt Mayor London Breed.
Behind the scenes, London Breed is working hard to put as many women on the Commissions.
The plan is backfiring. Everyone discovered that she made over forty Commissioners sign letters - under duress - before they took their seats on the Commissions.
No decent woman, and we have many - will not follow Mayor London Breed - not when she has folks like Tyra Fennell - floating and pussyfooting around.
The letter - we are talking about - stated: " I hereby resign and thank the Mayor for putting the person signing this letter on the Commission."
We treasure our freedom - and Mayor London Breed does not comprehend this fact - because she is uneducated on issues - and has no manners. She has not read the United States Constitution and the San Francisco Charter and is not educated on issues.
This nonsense - treating the Commissioners with disdain - came to light and is now shoved under the rug. Calling SF Police Commissioner Max Oberstone a " liar " - Wow!
There is going to be a hearing held by Dean Preston and Hillary Ronnen. The people will come and speak Truth to Power.
This matter linked to the signing of the letter - pertains to freedom and the rights of any person who chooses to serve.
One must serve without any encumbrances. Stop treating the Commissioners as you would your folks from the hood.
Those who surround Mayor London Breed should know better - the problem - most of them - have not read the United States Constitution and the SF City Charter.
Each of us citizens of the United States treasure our freedom.
Mayor London Breed broke laws and was fined $23,000 by the Ethics Commission.
London Breed was caught redhanded at the French Restaurant - told us to stay at home - while she was having a gala time - in a congregate situation not wearing a mask.
Then she did it again - in a congregate situation - dancing - and told us she is single and should be able to enjoy herself.
We already know she enjoys herself - in many ways - the many dipsticks spewing diatribe and speaking of unsavory - circumstances.
London Breed cannot fool all the people all the time - now we know how she operates - it is either her way or the highway.
Good leaders know the way, show the way, and go the way.
