I wish I were a supervisor. Then I could have only three meetings this week.
I kid, of course: It's hard work pretending to take this stuff seriously.

As well as accepting various grants (my favorite is a grant for "children's dental disease prevention services"), Ross Mirkarimi has a bill "urging San Francisco's Congressional and
It's not rapid, but it is transitWandering around San Francisco, one occasionally witnesses the big rig-sized behemoths from P&S Towing called into action to rescue a crippled Muni bus.
