  • Speaker Pelosi on the recent revelations by Scott McClellan:
    ''This war is a big lie. It was a lie to begin with..and it continues to be a lie..at some point, maybe the lies just got to be too heavy for him to carry.'' (SF Chron Blog)

  • Same-sex marriages will start on June 17.
  • Congratulations to Fiona Ma and the Assembly for passing Ma's AB 2716, paid sick leave. Business interests howled that it would break them after SF passed mandatory sick leave by initiative. It didn't, and SF is better for it. California will be better for it if the Governor signs the bill.

    • Environmental Leaders Against 98

  • Note: I do some web work against 98. Not a whole lot of people are coming out in support of Prop 98, while nearly every newspaper, elected official, and interest group opposes it. You have labor, business, good government, environmental, tenants, and the list goes on and on.  On the other side, you have, well, apartment owners and Howard Jarvis' corpse that they keep dragging out.

    Today, environmental leaders got together in SF to decry the measure for the potential harm it could do to environmental safeguards. And today, Protection and Advocacy, Inc, a lobbying group for disabled Californians came out against Prop 98 and in favor of Prop 99.  Poor Jon Coupal must be crying that even with millions of dollars of landlord money, they still can't catch a break by fooling voters and keeping progressive voters from turning out.
