Bait and Switch: A Walk Down Twitter Lane
(Part Two)The corporate hucksters have really piled it on since I wrote my March 23 Fog City Journal article about the Great Twitter Tax Break. Predictably, once it became clear that our current City Fathers will kowtow to Twitter and give them a multi-million dollar dollop of corporate welfare, every Big Business crony and wanna-be in town has rushed to Silly Hall with their hands out. And, just as predictably, the majority of our Stupervisors have rushed to greet them, eager to win their favors.

Zionist Extremist Hate Crime Against Rabbi Lerner:
Third Attack on His HomeThis is the 3rd assault on his home since Lerner announced the award to Justice Goldstone whose report on Israel’s human rights violations during the Israeli assault on Gaza in Dec. 2008 and Jan.2009 was denounced by the State of Israel and by the AIPAC-dominated House of Representatives last year.

Why Progressives Should Support Pension Reform
Shortly, I will introduce a new ballot initiative that will help reduce costs while ensuring that the pension and health benefit system is protected for future generations of workers. And the initiative will do so in a manner that is fair and equitable. The highest-earning workers, including elected officials, will be asked to contribute more, while the lowest-earning workers will be entirely exempt, a lesson learned from the last pension reform effort. The reforms will help eliminate the abuses of the pension system that benefit a few workers at the expense of others. Residents, elected officials, city employees and labor leaders are invited to review the proposals at www.sfpensionreform.com and provide any comments or ideas.
