Inside Chris Daly's Campaign - 99 Days and CountingKen Werner, Trinity Plaza Tenants Association (TPTA)byline‚ Aug. 01‚ 2006As Randy Shaw reported yesterday, Mayor Gavin Newsom endorsed Sup. Michela Alioto-Pier's former legislative aide, Rob Black, in his endeavor to 'represent' District 6. But Newsom used the backdrop of a new community mural at 450 Tehama Street as a photo-op to make his announcement while he claimed to Rob Black's scanty supporters, "You're looking for a different kind of leadership." Daly supporter Jazzie Collins perceived the mural dedication with Newsom endorsing Rob Black as making a mockery of the community. Newsom touted that Rob Black would work for inclusive representative and that Sup. Chris Daly was divisive and was excluding the more wealthy residents of District 6. Newsom claimed that the district is changing for the better which made him appear to be suffering the same bubble-like 'leadership' of George Bush. Apparently, Newsom believes gentrification is a positive effect of the Manhattanization of San Francisco. And apparently Newsom thinks that the act to mitigate gentrification is divisive and that only an SFSOS-sponsored candidate would be appropriate for D6. |
