In case you want to prep for tomorrow's NPC Forum:2010 Park Friendly Candidate Ratings
NPC recognizes candidates as Park Friendly who not only demonstrate a love and appreciation of parks, but also knowledge of how parks in San Francisco function and specific challenges the system faces. Park management in such a geographically-limited, resource-scarce environment is very challenging and NPC looks to all of San Francisco’s elected officials to be informed, collaborative and community-minded as we work together to ensure neighborhood parks are clean, safe and fun.
Malia Cohen (Park Friendly)
Kristine Enea (Park Friendly)
Chris Jackson (incomplete questionnaire submitted)
Tony Kelly (Park Friendly)
Steve Moss (Park Friendly)
Eric Smith (Park Friendly)
The following Candidates did not return a completed questionnaire by the deadline:
* James Calloway
* Ed Donaldson
* Teresa Duque
* MJ Marie Franklin
* Rodney Hampton, Jr.
* Ellsworth “Ell” Jennison
* Nyese Joshua
* DeWitt M. Lacy
* Geoffrea Morris
* Jackie Norman
* Ashley Hawley Rhodes
* Diane Wesley Smith
* Lynette Sweet
* Marlene Tran
* Stephen Weber
Moss and Kelly have each demonstrated strong support for Starr King Openspace (SKOS) in the past year or so. (SKOS is community owned and maintained land atop Potrero Hill, at 23rd and Carolina.) This is not an endorsement, just additional information I thought I would share with blog visitors.
ReplyDeleteWho exactly would not be park friendly?
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, one of the D2 and two of the D6 candidates do not get a 'park friendly' rating. Furthermore, only six D10 candidates returned their questionnaires. Are the rest 'unfriendly' to parks? Who knows? They can say anything they want now, but why not respond to the questionnaire in the first place? Come tomorrow night to the forum and find out.
ReplyDeleteAh, it was a big misunderstanding. Some of them thought it was "pork friendly" as in "porkbarrel friendly." Others thought it was "perk friendly." Malia Cohen read it as "Pier 70food court pork." Tony Kelly forgot his reading glasses so thought is said "port friendly." Sweet wouldn't take a stand without a contribution, untaxed of course. Terese Duque was down for "porque friendly." DeWitt pasted his reply over Eric's and Chris complained to the SFBG about the use of non-union paste in the cover-up. Indeed - who's not park friendly? Well, I guess we see who can fill out the forms, who can go the distance, who has the energy for this job. While Lynette blames JK Harris for her tax lien, I guess the others can blame Bowflex.
ReplyDeleteI believe Moss was able to garnish $100K for a non profit, profitable group to answer the questionnaire creating multiple green jobs that he couldn't name later, as it was confidential and too long ago, last week.
ReplyDeleteHe was able to hire himself to perform the Green Job audit, also confidential.
Feel free to call him to clarify, he loves people who question him....
