To: <lpsf-activists@yahoogroups.com>Hi All. Just a short report tonight (for a change). As agreed upon by the majority, B, V, and W were submitted as paid arguments at the Department of Elections yesterday, along with the A rebuttal. What a commotion there–I was there 3 hours. They set up a whole system with “stations” to streamline the whole process but only had 1 or 2 folks at the most at the final station inside the office to accept the actual paperwork, so it was hopelessly bottlenecked. At times it was like an accident on the freeway–the final line just wasn’t moving at all. Even the leftists were complaining! I did see some familiar faces–Mike Denny (thanks for schlepping down), Terrance Faulkner, Avalos, Gollinger, Howard Wong–but mostly unfamiliar folks of the young ilk. I’m sure they were there submitting paid arguments for more government, definitely not less. Being there that many hours, you do get into interesting conversations with those in line closest to you. On my right, I had one of the tree people supporting E, and on my left a guy from a Haight-Asbury group opposed to Q (prohibiting tents on public sidewalks). We had some interesting discussions during the long wait. The tree guy had been in Cuba recently and had interesting thoughts about his experience there–he felt it was probably the US embargo that caused the revolution to fail there but conceded that when they ate out, the “private” restaurants were awesome but the state restaurants were lousy.
Did speak to Howard Wong about the pre-empting business. He said that you can never be sure what these supervisors might do, so he decided to submit against J (Funding for Homelessness & Transportation) & K (Sales Tax Increase) just in case–and thank goodness he did. He did say that he knew Peskin did try to submit some paperwork and had a problem with it, so possibly that could explain B, but I doubt it because the DOE guy on Friday definitely said that Peskin did not submit an argument. Never did hear back from Peskin, so I think his silence indicates hanky panky shame–or he’s still trying to think up a good excuse. Regardless, I did not get a chance to visit the Ethics Commission because it was so late, but I have to go back to the DOE this morning and bring another check since The Bottleneck Manager gave me the wrong amount and I only had one check with me. Will swing by the Ethics Commission since it’s close by and see what can be done about the Peskin shenanigan. Will update tomorrow.
Thanks!
AubreyP.S. By the way, Mike Denny said that Sarosh will contribute to half of the NO on W argument, so thanks to Sarosh!
