Yeah, I screwed up on the message in the body of the email although the
attachment had a nice Supervisor heading the Sarosh made. I'm in the
process of moving. I'm seeing a house today that would put me in Fiona
Ma's district. Through rezoning, my district is now district 2, Gavin's.
We'll see what happens.

Mike,
Of course District 2 isn't Gavin's any more, but is now occupied by his appointee, Michela Alioto-Piers. As a new supervisor who didn't win election on her own (and indeed has lost several other races for public office), she should be at least as vulnerable as McGoldrick. Especially given what a recent letter in the Examiner pointed out: "Now we know what the deal (in which Angela Alioto endorsed Gavin Newsom for mayor) really entailed: appointing her niece Michela to the vacant seat on the Board of Supervisors." Too bad we have ethics or you could just do like the pros do and maintain a phony second residence... 
Yours in liberty,

Subject: [lpsf-discuss] Re: Petty Political Posturing by City Hall costs SF jobsThree cheers for Sarosh! And good on you for following through... now what would you say to changing that "Mayor" to "Supervisor, District 1?" How much of a donation from Joe O'Donogue (or others) would it take to get you in the race against McGoldrick? 8)

Dear All,
I want to give credit where credit is due....Sarosh wrote the article and I made only minor adjustments. Thanks to Sarosh for seeing the opportunity to get me back in the game. I've gotten quite a few good reponses from my somewhat recovered list except the Coalition for the Homeless asked to be taken off....go figure.

a well-trod trail of other San Francisco institutions such as Chevron,
PacBell, and BankAmerica, which have chosen to vote with their feet,
and departed the anti-business local political environment. While the
City and Bechtel are soft-pedaling the significance of the move, this
is another body blow to workers in the City who must scramble for
fewer private sector jobs. Over the last 3 years, over 30% of City
jobs have been lost, leading to a commercial vacancy rate still over
20%.

downturn and the self-inflicted hostile environment for business, the
City has set up a "Revenue Advisory Panel", charged with coming up
with new and increased fees and taxes to impose on property owners

only sector to have increased staffing levels over the last 5 years --
government and the organizations in the nonprofit sector, many staffed
by political insiders and campaign workers.
