Gavin Newsom

Gavin Newsom launching new initiative with @HelloWallet to provide personalized
financial guidance to all San Franciscans. Only one out of five
American households are getting the guidance they need to reach their
financial goals and are losing over $100 billion a year on bad deals
and missteps.

When you trace the roots of the record-busting foreclosure rate and the havoc that has wrought on the American economy over the last few years, San Francisco's mailboxes probably don't come to mind as a logical starting point. But they should.

As we have seen in the consumer marketplace, when companies like Google, Twitter, and Facebook release APIs (Application Programming Interface), countless innovative applications are created that build on the original idea. In an effort to change the way government operates and tap into that same cr...

No one is happy about their pink slip. If we got one The Mayor needs to get one too...and the bad part is not of all us is coming back to work. Why wait 2 weeks to know?? They already know who's coming back or not anyways..they have been planing this for a long time. They just can't process 15,000 employees in two weeks time.

I'm just not sure yet if it should be me or Snoopy.....ha ha ha! Maybe you'll come rescue us after the next governor screws us over a little more?

Gavin Newsom In an effort to make it easier for other cities to learn about and implement creative solutions like SF's universal health care program, I am pleased to announce the launch of http://PolicySF.org, a one-stop destination for idea sharing and collaboration.

Cities don't need to wait for Washington to solve our problems. They can come up with creative solutions, like we've done in San Francisco when we launched the country's first universal health care program.

Gavin Newsom It's time for the GOP to stop misleading people and start telling the truth about the Federal Stimulus. In San Francisco thousands of people and their families (2,910 and counting to date) now have the dignity of work and a paycheck because of the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act.

www.huffingtonpost.com
Repeating a lie over and over doesn't make it true. But if you listen to Republicans on the subject of job creation and the federal stimulus package, it's obvious they don't understand that or care.

Generalizing about folks who are critical and challenging the status quo is naive. Speaking from experience, the people who are the most critical ARE the ones that typically work the hardest for change because we have the passion that sparks and motivates continued action. What I originally respected in Gavin was his ability to challenge tolerated norms, and defy political complacency - what some on here might consider "bitching."

Gavin Newsom Congress needs to support an extension of the JobsNow (http://jobsnowsf.org/) program in the new federal jobs bill. Thousands of Californians who would otherwise join the unemployment rolls are now employed.

www.huffingtonpost.com
This JobsNow program is exactly in line with the Obama Administration and Congressional leaders of both parties' priorities when it comes to incentivizing job creation. But our success locally in putting people back to work could come to a screeching halt - and throw thousands out of work again - wh...

And how do they pay for that by printing more money? You're not very smart if you think that's a long term fix.

Might want to work with the folks who own www.albioncastle.us, as this place has cisterns which release 8-10K gallons of water per day, out of the Hunter's Point hills, into the bay. Probably wouldn't cost much to set up a contract and infrastructure so that instead of a eminent domain take over after a large earthquake, there's actually an understanding & hardware to have access, in place.
They also own a Brewery in Napa, and the place is for sale, so now might be a good time.
