Steve Moss has responded to the article from a few days ago in the SF Bay Guardian.
I don't ever want to see our city and the reputation (such as it is) of the BOS dragged through the crapper like it was during the Ed Jew scandal.
I don't personally think there's anything to this but pot-stirring, but Sarah Phelan over at SFBG think she may be onto just such a scandal.
The important point in the time-line is that the potential candidate has to have lived in the district for 30-days prior to filing the Candidate Declaration Form. The question is whether a potential candidate can live outside the district when filing a Candidate Intention Statement, or can use a non-home address in the earlier filing. This I don't know.
So, for two years out of ten, he and his family lived in a building he owns in D8 and then moved back to D10 in February, months before filing the Declaration form. Unless there are regulations surrounding residency in the Intention statement, or that the street address used on that form must be your home address, then this shouldn't be a problem. Sure, maybe he's not the 10-years full-time resident of D10 he has been saying he is, but with the community candidates touting their generations of D10 roots, it's a natural response to that to try to pump up your own 'local-boy' cred.
Moss was out of the district for over 3 years, not two.
ReplyDeleteHe rented a place in district 10 in February but has not proved he lived in it as a home, it is pretty obvious it was a cover for the district 8 home.
He better answer and quickly, there will be a lot of questions to answer, guaranteed!
Article feels like more innuendo than substance. Good smear job, bad reporting.
ReplyDeleteFacts are that he does have a long history in D10, good understanding of the local issues, and I believe the only candidate to round up the required D10 signatures to get him on the ballot, while others bought their way in.
If it sounds like I'm voting for Steve, well, no. I haven't decided. But I don't like people outside the district BS-ing us about our own candidates. Keep in mind, SFBG has an agenda. They're not a neutral news outlet by any stretch of the imagination. They have their favorite candidate for D10. Anyone who ain't that person will get shafted by the SFBG.
sfbg is in D10.
