Not really that much of interest here in SF. I want to officially congratulate Jose Cisneros and Dennis Herrera, both of whom were unopposed, mostly because they were both doing a really good job.<\/p>\n
On the propositions, well, I went 5 for 5 from my recommendations<\/a> a while back. Props A, B, C, & E passed, while Prop D went down despite some big money behind it. For more details, check back to my recommendations<\/a>.<\/p>\n One general theme that can be taken is that San Franciscans really don’t like ads. Prop E pretty much bans any new ad contracts while allowing old ones to be renewed and Prop D would have created a “sign district” on Central Market Street amongst the SROs, smoke shops, and porn theaters. On the flip side, Prop C allows the City to rename Candlestick again. Perhaps people feel the same way I do, it’s been renamed so many times already, who cares what it is called tomorrow?<\/p>\n On general reform, Prop A moves SF to two-year budget cycles, a generally good thing. Prop B removes a ridiculous rule that required Supervisors to have 2 aides, no more, no less. It doesn’t affect the budget, just takes out this arbitrary number. Good on SF for seeing through some of the anti-government BS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Not really that much of interest here in SF.
