this may be a case of he said/ he said…..

City workers: We were told to vote, work for Newsom / S.F. city attorney probes campaign charge by 9 street cleaners

holy shit! what if this was true? I leave Cali and the Bay Area and everything goes to hell over there! Ok, I was still there when the Terminator got elected….but come on! This is so evil sounding. It’s disappointing to hear - especially when I kinda prided myself with my liberal Bay Area Connections.

Trust me - I thought sure I can put up with some of the racist comments and sexist ideas pushed into my face from yesterday’s beat reporting project. I can deal with that because I’m planning on heading back to California - the land of the open minded and the politically correct. These Newsom allegations are so disheartening because I thought San Francisco had a noble politcal heart - committed to equality for all folks of different ethnic, sexual, and political leanings. So what the fuck? I guess I’m too naive for these things.
