  1. SACJON, watch it buddy, you’re walking my side of the street man! Actually, it wasn’t homeless or “houseless neighbors” in this case, but remember that “houseless neighbor” a few weeks ago packing some heat by the Wharf?

  2. Basic805: You just asked to eliminate the Prop 13 property tax limitation. Did you know Prop 13 was immediately mitigated when voters passed Prop 98? – Prop 98 guarantees 50% of all state general revenues go directly to public education – off the top, no bargaining necessary. K12 gets 90% of that first cut, community colleges get the remaining 10%.. Do you want to get rid of Prop 98 windfall going directly to K-12 every year, along with Prop 13? Why do you want to eliminate Prop 13? What do you think will happen.

  3. Meghan Harmon’s district, now facing a contested election against former city administrator Nina Johnson. Voters will have a very substantive choice to make in this downtown district election. Excellent issue just handed to both these ladies – increasing day time street crime..

  4. BABYCAKES, In case you haven’t been paying attention, progressive politics favors education while the GOP cut funding for it and put Betsy DeVoss in charge. WOW. No one is teaching these kids they are victims. Get a grip.
