San Francisco Gavin Newsom homelessSupervisor Chris Daly is trying to kill our Community Justice Center by cutting all funding.

We need your help right now to save the Community Justice Center.

Supervisor Daly introduced legislation yesterday to stop the Community Justice Center and to cut funds for more police, funds to fix our roads and sidewalks, funds to upgrade the successful new 311 Call Center, funds for new trees, funds to help rebuild public housing, funds to help small businesses and many other vital services.

Supervisor Daly is directing nearly all of the funds needed for the Community Justice Center, new police officers, street repair and other vital services to benefit the priorities of his chief political backers.  Daly is cutting funds for the Community Justice Center, police and needed services to serve special interests and further his own political ends.

We need the Community Justice Center to keep making progress on the homeless crisis.  The court is a proven way to direct those who commit quality-of-life crimes like aggressive panhandling into social services. In a time of rising homicide rates, we need the new police officers Daly wants to cut to keep our streets safe.  We need the funds Daly wants to cut to repair our roads and infrastructure after decades of neglect.

And we need to stop Daly’s raw political power grab – he is playing politics at our expense.  Daly’s efforts to find a candidate to run for mayor have collapsed – so now he is moving his political fight to our city budget.

Please call or email these supervisors right now and let them know you want Daly to restore the mayor’s budget:

Bevan Dufty — 554-6968
Tom Ammiano — 554-5144
Ross Mirkarimi — 554-7630
Aaron Peskin — 554-7450

We need to act now to stand up to Chris Daly.  Please spread the word by emailing this post to your friends.  And please ask all of your friends to sign our Community Court Petition so we can save this vital program to help address homelessness.

    Ugh. A “raw political power grab.” This is just how politics work. Gavin knows it and endorses it all day all, all night when it serves his political needs.

    The main difference between this and what he does is that Daly actually cares about working class and low-income people in more concrete ways than press releases. He doesn’t cater to the class that Gavin loves so dearly.

    Daly will not stop until he is removed from Office. I am going to launch a Recall Campaign to give him what he truly deserves, a swift kick out of office.

  3. Brian Purchia Says:

    To be clear the ActLocallySF team does not endorse this recall. Nor do we do support the recalling of any of the Supervisors.

    The best way to respond to Supervisor Daly is to show up at City Hall next Wednesday, June 13th at noon to demand that Daly restore Mayor Newsom’s budget.

    Make your voice heard.

    Mr. Daly continues to attempt to thwart everything that the Mayor trys to do for the City of San Francisco. It appears that his arrogance and pride are running his little show. He displays no humility whatsoever and is really starting to look ridiculous. He will be his own undoing…despite any petitions. He is one of those individuals that cannot help himself and becomes undone when they engage in this type of behavior. He has no impulse control when it comes to his politics and Mayor Gavin Newsom and citizens of SF are pretty savvy and will definitely get tired of him. His adgenda appears to be selfish and self-serving and it becomes more apparent every day. Today in The Examiner he is attempting to halt the annual aerial show by the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels. This is a wonderful tradition. He stated that “they seem dangerous and unnecessary.” Daly is the one who is dangerous to the city and his antics are unnecessary! I agree that it would be nice if he were gone but the real solution would be to encourage him to work with the Mayor instead of being an opponent. He refuses to do so and even trys to turn the tables and says that the Mayor won’t work with him and that the Mayor is the one playing the politics. He has attempted to stop WiFi, the budget that the Mayor recently proposed and now the Blue Angels. I question how far this man will stoop and I only hope he will come to his senses. He makes himself look the fool and the more he continues to attack the Mayor it actually seems to backfire. These things have a way of doing this… CodePink and the petition will most likely not succeed as this event/tradition with the Blue Angels is a large draw and a considerable chunk of money for the City of San Francisco. His move to attempt to ground, and after all, it is only a resolution and NOT legally binding, The Blue Angels will most likely be the last straw…lets hope it is the straw that breaks the camels back. My suggestion is to circultate a petition for citizens to sign stating they favor the Mayor’s recent budget, WiFi, the Community Justice Center (which by the way works quite well in NYC and was successful in eliminating significant levels of crime) and favor the Blue Angels show. Trying to oust him out of office will only flame the fire…Daly needs to chill!

    I would like it if he would introduce legislation to outlaw honking!

    Hey Daly…chill out, Dude!

    Aloha!

    Quoting Gavin Newsom (2004): “I’ll tell you what. I come back next year and if you still see these murder rates you can start a campaign to recall ME. And youo know what? I may be right there as a co-signer of that effort.”
    I would trust Supervisor Daly with a budget more than I would trust Gavin Newsom.
    I may not always agree with him, but he’s very smart and he’s not coin operated like Mayor Newsom.
    The murder rate has skyrocketed under the mayor’s watch. He thwarted a decreased residential parking requirement at the behest of downtown groups. Let’s see if he has the guts to oppose Donald Fisher’s 1:1 parking requirement that he’s trying to put on the ballot this november.

    As the article above states… “In a time of rising homicide rates, we need the new police officers Daly wants to cut to keep our streets safe.” So Rob, how can you say on one hand you would trust Daly more than Newsom with the budget when Daly is opposed to hiring more police officers? Putting more police officers on the streets would produce the most immediate impact on decreasing homicide rates in SF.
