Get rid of every supervisor in San Francisco and replace them with moderates….they chase away business, and have wacky policies that waste tax payer money and do nothing to improve the city's business atmosphere. I have moved 60% of my companies employees out of S.F. and moved to Oakland. The remaining 40% will move over the next two years….oops more lost revenues for S.F. schools and city projects due to radical policies.

Also heard that with the help and support of Sophie Maxwell she was able ti save the SF Black Infant Health Project from the butcher’s block this year in an effort to keep their services flowing to black families. Very interesting woman.

This week Sophie Maxwell cast a surprise vote, on the right side, for Just Cause Eviction protections, even though she’s a landlord, so whether the recall effort succeeds or not, it may have encouraged her to do the right thing a few more times than she otherwise would have this year.

I was on the bus last night and someone presumed I was involved in the recall and asked me why? I gave them information about my own feelings. I have submitted four Sunshine Task Force complaints against Maxwell for obvious abuses of power and all four determinations were accepted as legitimate by the SOTF. In fact, I talked with an attorney with the ACLU about Maxwell’s constitutional violations of freedom of speech and press and he agreed to get involved but asked that I give notice to City Attorney Dennis Herrera first. I did so and there was greater oversight of Maxwells abuses in public hearings. Never the less, she kept a disabled man with a degenerated hip waiting for three hours when she pulled the number one agenda item on the Peaker plant sitings, and without proper notice, heard it at the end of the hearing. Additionally, there are conflict of interest issues around her home in the BVHP project area, as well as her total disregard for health impact issues. Initially, she came out fighting to protect residents against diesel and mold. She dropped the fight. I lost all respect for her about two years ago and believe she can benefit from a blow to her political knee caps!

Why don’t you consider running for Supervisor, Nyese?

I am happy to receive such information. The horror stories and treatment of community groups from Sophie Maxwell is actually appalling to me and is probably causing her Mother to flip over in her grave. On the scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the absolute worse, I would rate her easily a 12 for the lack of care and support as well as interest of her constituents.

Why are you using all caps? That is a form of “yelling” on the internet. Most writers know this! This article is very troubling and very subjective. Was this article reviewed by the publisher first? I am very concerned about tone and spirit of this one-sided article.

There is a lot of anger in this article.
