Well....whatever...I don't want you losing any privileges over there though....we are dropping like flies lol...
Here it is....off topic...right...:
"More speculation with nothing but opinion to back it up.
Anyone actually follow Gavin Newson? I'm guessing not. Just throwing stones at his personal life. All politicians are human, and they all have issues. Gavin has a huge following and great forward thinking ideas. Often on national talk shows, a regular on Bill Maher. When he speaks, people listen. This endorsement will become much more meaningful in the next few weeks. He has been speaking up for MMJ before it was popular and that's why he has earned the trust of Californians. And his endorsement will be a big deal in forming business relationships for SKTO.
And here we have more random people making assumptions about him. If you don't really know him, spend some more time before throwing stones http://www.gavinnewsom.com Have any of you put your state first like he has? He has a track record. And bringing up personal life issues is ridiculous. Ummmm...most of our Presidents have had these issues, whether in public light or not, and they still have been able to lead the free world. Here are some more things Gavin has accomplished for his state where SKTO's HQ will be:
Mayor Newsom implemented a local economic stimulus plan, calling for action beyond federal recovery funding, including plans to:
Accelerate capital spending;
Invest in local businesses;
Reduce burdens that local government places on local businesses;
Support the workforce to attract foreign investment into San Francisco;
San Francisco began a $4.3 billion project to rebuild the region’s water infrastructure and a $383 million renovation to San Francisco International Airport;
In May 2009, Mayor Newsom launched JOBS NOW!, a subsidized employment program funded through federal stimulus money. Through this program, 3,820 San Franciscans with dependent children have been put back to work;
Under Mayor Newsom’s leadership, San Francisco consolidated citywide workforce development policy and programs under the Director of Workforce Development within the Office of Economic and Workforce Development. The priorities of the newly aligned department include: coordinating workforce development activities to support viable industries, investing in skill development, and providing training to disadvantaged residents to seek training and employment;
Citybuild Academy was launched in 2006 and has since held nine training academies and placed 1,123 graduates and other workers onto public and private construction projects. A Green Academy is being launched in the near future to train and place low income residents into jobs in the fields of solar, green building, energy efficiency, and recycling;
In November 2007, 59% of voters approved Measure I to establish a center to help small businesses in the city. In May 2008, the Small Business Assistance Center (SBAC) officially opened its doors as a major milestone for the small business community of San Francisco. Since its launch, the SBAC has served nearly 3,000 clients. Sixty-five percent of the cases are businesses that need start-up assistance and the other thirty-five percent are existing businesses needing assistance.
What else has this guy done for CA?
Gavin’s leadership in San Francisco over the last six years has made it one of the greenest cities in the world. As Mayor, Gavin implemented new ground breaking environmental policies to make the city both cleaner and healthier. Gavin’s work making these ambitious ideas a reality has made the city an international leader in this area.
Gavin has:
Achieved the closure of San Francisco’s remaining two fossil-fuel burning power plants, which are responsible for significant local pollution. Gavin’s work helped lead to the closure of the Hunters Point power plant in 2006, and closure of the Potrero power plant is scheduled for 2011.
Achieved an independently verified 7 percent reduction of greenhouse gas pollution below 1990 levels throughout San Francisco. This effort involved being the first municipality to register emissions through the California Climate Action Reserve and then aggressively pursuing a range of transportation and energy measures to reduce our emissions.
Catalyzed a movement of international mayors to press for climate policy and urban environmental progress through authoring the Urban Environmental Accords in 2005. Over 100 mayors of major cities throughout the world signed these commitments, including Zurich, Nairobi, Moscow and Tehran.
Authored the strongest municipal green building standards in the U.S. for new construction and major renovations, making both public and private buildings more energy efficient and safer for employees.
Prioritized the city budget and program resources to increase landfill diversion. 72 percent of the waste generated in San Francisco is currently recycled or composted.
Recently required mandatory recycling and composting in all of San Francisco’s buildings.
Became the first city to prohibit usage of disposable plastic bags in large stores.
Became the first city to phase out municipal usage of plastic bottles.
Implemented the largest municipal rebate program in the country for residential and commercial solar installations.
Developed the greenest public transportation fleet in the U.S. Currently, the entire public transportation fleet runs off electricity or bio-fuel.
Passed series of regulations that have resulted in roughly half of our city vehicles being CNG or hybrid and 57% of the city’s taxi fleet using hybrid or CNG technology to date.
Launched a first of its kind program to collect waste grease from local businesses and convert it to bio-diesel.
Implemented the first ever municipal “precautionary principle” to replace use of toxic substances in city services.
Retrofitted 17,600 streetlights to replace existing high-pressure sodium vapor cobra heads with energy efficient light emitting diode fixtures.
Launched innovative Pavement to Parks program, which has transformed excess pavement into public open spaces.
Assembled the first ever Urban/Rural Roundtable Task Force to explore how to increase access to healthy food and support regional farmers issued an Executive Order to change city policy to achieve this goal
Assembled an urban wind power task force comprised of renewable industry leaders, environmentalists and local consumers.
Organized the Bay Area Electric Vehicle Regional Corridor Initiative, to transform the Bay Area into the electric vehicle capital of the United States.
Instituted local carbon offset program funded from a fee on municipal air travel.
Created Green Finance SF, which is a city sponsored program to provide $150 million in loans to local residents for energy efficiency, solar, and renewable energy projects and water conservation improvements
I'll take that endorsement. Because GN knows how to get it done. I've seen him speak, and listened to him for years. KA and him have a real relationship. And his endorsement will help SKTO make CA one of the greenest places in the country as well.
