Dear All,
We libertarians have been advocating private services in lieu of government services forever. The Patrols Special Police are a step in the right direction -- they are paid by private clients they serve.
For a change, the Board of Supervisors has voted unanimously to reward the efforts of an entrepreneur, Private Patrol Jane Warner, who died last May. This Sunday, November 7, at 1:00 pm, Bevan Dufty will represent the Board of Sups in dedicating the pedestrian plaza on 17th Street and Market "Jane Warner Plaza."
I am planning to attend, and hope to see a lot of you there.
Ah, yes. One more thing. The Patrols are not flush with funds as is the SFPD union. So, if Officer Jane is to be remembered with a plaque, donations will have to help. I have pledged my $50. It would be great if LPSF members came through. More on how/where to donate later, since the Patrols are not used to asking, and are still working on the trust account to receive the donations.
Regards,
Marcy
