Newsom’s Expensive SilencePeter Lauterbornbyline‚ Oct. 01‚ 2007Mayor Gavin Newsom is teaming up with a top Republican fundraiser to fight, and is asking for checks between $1,000 and $25,000 to do so. But this battle won’t be over affordable housing, marriage equality, violence prevention, faltering schools, labor standards enforcement, AIDS research, fixing Muni, or funding parks. It won't even be about Wi-Fi, the small business assistance center, horse stables, foot patrols, or anything else. Newsom has finally picked politics over policy: the fundraiser is to simply oppose Question Time at the Board of Supervisors. |
