Guest Editorial: Bevan Dufty Too Conservative as District 8 SupervisorMichael Porembabyline‚ Oct. 12‚ 2006During the run-up to the 2006 election campaign for San Francisco District 8 supervisor, many claims have been made about the voting record of incumbent Bevan Dufty. Critics claim that Dufty is far too conservative to represent the progressive voters of District 8. Supporters claim that although Dufty’s record is conservative, he’s become increasingly progressive during his four-year term. As a concerned District 8 resident, rather than succumb to the rhetoric I decided to analyze Dufty’s voting record on the Board of Supervisors. District 8 voters may be surprised by the findings. |
