Ron,
An email campaign to the Supervisors is a good idea. Have you emailed the mayor yet? Here are the addresses for the Supervisors (I'm guessing on the new District 2 Supe). Let us know if you get any responses from your emails, and I'll do the same.
1. Supervisor Jake McGoldrick <Jake.McGoldrick@sfgov.org>
2. Supervisor Michela Alioto-Piers <Michela.Alioto-Piers@sfgov.org>
3. Supervisor Aaron Peskin <Aaron.Peskin@sfgov.org>
4. Supervisor Fiona Ma <Fiona.Ma@sfgov.org>
5. Supervisor Matt Gonzalez <Matt.Gonzalez@sfgov.org>
6. Supervisor Chris Daly <Chris.Daly@sfgov.org>
7. Supervisor Tony Hall <Tony.Hall@sfgov.org>
8. Supervisor Bevan Dufty <Bevan.Dufty@sfgov.org>
9. Supervisor Tom Ammiano <Tom.Ammiano@sfgov.org>
10. Supervisor Sophie Maxwell <Sophie.Maxwell@sfgov.org>
11. Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval <Gerardo.Sandoval@sfgov.org>
I think it's mildly amusing that they are using a ".org" suffix for city officials rather than ".gov" -- do they have pretenses of being just another struggling nonprofit organization? By the way, where did you get the figure of about 400 city administrators making over $100,000? Do you think you could research some hard data on this for us?
Yours in liberty,

Dear Starchild;
For the record there are some 400 city administrators making over $100,000. Why are there so many making over $100,000? And why can't the lot of them be Riffed ( Reduced In Force)? That's a savings of some $40 Million not counting benefits and pension contributions.
Then you can also Riff their executive assistant or assistants depending on how bureacratic they were in building a fiefdom at the tax payers expense. This should also apply to all the members of the board of supervisors - as far as voluntary pay cuts. How many of them have publicly annnounced they are taking a pay cut in solidarity with all the other high paid executives?
Perhaps a e-mail campaign to all the supervisors asking them when will they join the program??? Just don't hold your breath waiting for a response.
