I don't want to google and disillusion that.

xp Eazy: No. He did raise the city minimum wage, which led to a lawsuit by the Restaurant Association, because it didn't allow for a lower amount for tipped employees, as the federal and state minimum wages do. As far as the health insurance thing goes, employers are supposed to offer health insurance or pay into a fund for insurance to adminstered by the City. Not sure how that's actually panning out, as no one at my organization works in SF enough days to qualify. Newsom did ban tobacco sales at Walgreens - just Walgreens. He also refused to participate in "Question Time," as mandated by the voters.

I'm all for smoking bans in public places and stuff like that but the Walgreen's thing is so weird - why punish that particular retailer?

xp Shakey: It always gets me when people in SF complain about smoking because of the smell, when a significant portion of the streets of the city smells like urine. People complain about Oakland's problems, but Oakland actually smells better than SF.

I propose that the mayor ban urinating on Walgreens

(but you probably don't wanna get me started on the tobacco industry - I don't really care about the smell, its just a public health issue for me)

xp Shakey: fair enough.

I live in LA, so I'm unfamiliar with this "Northern Villaraigosa" reputation; maybe I should have looked into him and his history before becoming a supporter-of-sorts who signed up for campaign emails.
I'm still waiting for that immediate input opportunity his campaign manager spoke of.

Newsom+Villaraigosa are polling at the same level as Jerry Brown

Is this cause virtually none of the unions backed him and were holding out for Jerry Brown?

I can't believe Jerry Brown's our nominee. (Not that I would prefer Gavin.)
At least old people will vote for him, right?
― iatee, Friday, 30 October 2009 23:05 (fourteen years ago) link
i kinda regret voting for him for mayor
― sarahel, Friday, 30 October 2009 23:09 (fourteen years ago) link
Jerry Brown that is, not Gavin
Time for the suede denim secret police?

way to go mister mayor!

I mean an even worse one! Probably involving public nudity, crying, violence, or some combo thereof

Can't say I've been following him too closely, but wow is he a class 'A' douche.

no meltdown, but his star has certainly fizzled out completely. the once-and-future governor seems to be barely a politician now.
