Feinstein's letter to President Peskin and the Board: Dear President Peskin and Members of the Board of Supervisors: If government, whether national or local, is truly to serve the public, it must be responsive and responsible to the people it serves and free of vituperation and vengeance. That, I am sure, is obvious to all who treasure open and effective government. Occasionally, however, this important principle must be reinforced with those who would abuse it. As a former Mayor of this city in which I was born and which I truly love, I cannot help but be distressed by what strikes me as an abdication of duty and responsibility by Supervisor Chris Daly in so recklessly resorting to rumor mongering on the floor of the Board of Supervisors. Supervisor Daly's personal attack on Mayor Gavin Newsom defies precedent. It is contemptuous of orderly government and, fittingly, should be subject to an official censure on the part of the Board of Supervisors. Sincerely yours, Dianne Feinstein Untied States Senator<ul><li><label>Overall Rating</label>: 1</li> </ul> Here is the full text of Sen. Feinstein’s letter to President Peskin and the Board:

As a former Mayor of this city in which I was born and which I truly love, I cannot help but be distressed by what strikes me as an abdication of duty and responsibility by Supervisor Chris Daly in so recklessly resorting to rumor mongering on the floor of the Board of Supervisors.

Sincerely yours,

Chris Daly acts like a whinny, out of control, child. Instead of just blasting everything the Mayor proposes in the budget, a respectable member of the Board of Supervisors would actually be trying to work with the Mayor to make needed changes to the proposed budget instead of wasting time engaging in derogatory personal attacks. I applaud Supervisor Peskin for removing Daly as chairman of the Budget and Finance Committee.<ul><li><label>Overall Rating</label>: 1</li> </ul> As far as I am concerned… Chris Daly acts like a whinny, out of control, child.

The DRUG war is racist and classist, the only difference between drug use on Knob Hill vs Taylor St is the quality of the drugs and the exposure of the users. Poverty should not mean PROSECUTION.<ul><li><label>Overall Rating</label>: 1</li> </ul> Cris Daley is absolutely ON TARGET by blasting the hypocracy of Gavin Newsom.

Things are not as simple as the Mayor would have us believe, as the Supe pointed out. The mayor's budget was rife with problems, and now, thanks to Daly, at least some of them will be corrected. Love him or hate him, we should thank him for this. Gavin/Cocaine rumors? Old news. Who hasn't heard them before? Did anyone expect the mayor to say "Sure, I use coke! I love it!" That would have been a great career move!<ul><li><label>Overall Rating</label>: 1</li> </ul> Thanks to Chris Daly for bringing the budget issue to the forefront of the public’s attention.
