San Francisco mayor wants to tax stores that sell sodas
December 18th, 2007 9:32 am

You know and I know this a back door way of raising TAXES of the citizens of SF. The so called large grocery stores will simply pass this TAX onto the consumer. This is stupid and underhanded...typical bleeding heart liberal. Dan Read This Posty »

Illegal Immigration is Out of Control
June 13th, 2007 8:23 am

Illegal Immigration is out of control -- ruining our American culture, economy, and healthcare system for starters.  In a time where we need the government's help to protect us from these criminals taking advantage of our hospitals, our schools, and our legal system, our mayor announces he wants to give sanctuary!  What kind of upside-down city do I live in?  Just take a look at this website - in 5 languages!  Pander to those who refuse to speak the language of this great nation because you might pick up a vote or two along the way...Ridiculous.

Healthcare Plan Not Inclusive
June 8th, 2007 10:02 am

Dear Mayor Newsom, Kudos to you for your universal health plan!  However, it's still incomplete.  Nowhere do I see you making provisions to those of us who are self-employed or freelancers, who do not qualify for Medi-Cal, but who can't afford private healthcare insurance. Your healthcare plan won't be truly "universal" until you come up with a plan for us, and there are a great many of us! Trina Robbins Read This Posty »

Healthcare for those not eligible for medicare
May 8th, 2007 2:52 pm

Not a pet peeve actually, but a grave concern re medical insurance & prescription drugs for that gray area of San Francisco (or any other) "seniors" that are not quite there yet for medicare (i.e., 62) but have been forced into early retirement by company closures, etc. Help???

Healthcare and Gas
May 8th, 2007 12:40 pm

A few things: The problem with San Francisco and this is noticeable all across the country is health care.  Most hospitals are owned by private investors and banks out of New York.  I have seen many family's that are unable to pay for health care even when they can afford health care the premiums are sometimes so outrageous they can not afford it.  With gas prices reaching almost $4.00 a gallon and a dishonest and incompetent president that has spent trillions of dollars to make his friends and oil company's that contributed to his campaign billions of dollars in profit per Read This Posty »

Sanctuary for anybody?
April 23rd, 2007 8:34 am

Mayor Gavin Newsom, To me it's unfair to have people coming here illegally...then provide services: housing money, school lunches, free health care. You who work for the tax payer here forgot your pledge!  Most of these illegals work for cash...or pay back $6,000 for the $35,000 they receive. It looks to me like your just looking to keep your jobs at the expense of the taxpayers. You are not a good Mayor or American...move to Mexico & see how much you would get from that country.
