Best Wishes to all in the New Year of the Dragon.
First of all I want to commend Supervisor Shamann Walton and his excellent Staff … told him today that I would vote for him in whatever elected office he runs for. Excellence appreciated.
The race for Mayer of San Francisco … Peskin is my clear pick – he responds to email in the tradition of former mayor Willie Brown. London Breed, Daniel Lurie and Ahsha Safaí are clear losers in my Book. Cannot even respond to email or USPS mail. Is it incompetent Staff? Or What? … Why do they even want the job as Mayer of San Francisco?

In memory of Kate Steinle …
Killing of Kate Steinle – July 1, 2015, 32-year-old Kathryn “Kate” Steinle was shot and killed while walking with her father and a friend along Pier 14 in the Embarcadero district of San Francisco. The guy that fired the shot that killed her – a José Inez García Zárate of Guanajuato, Mexico, was an illegal immigrant who was deported from the U.S. a total of five times, most recently in 2009. And got off scott free thanks to a George Soros district atternty … may you rot in Hell, Mr. Soros. (b1930
Maling address for Geaorge Soros:
Atten: George Soros Open Society Foundations

New York, NY 10019, United States
Last words to Kate’s father, “I am dying” … so sad – you politicians in Sacramento and Washington DC need to do a better job and not have the blood on your hands of a 32 year old women shot killed by an illegal immigrant. Get your act together and stop focusing on enriching your family dynasties – and do quality government work for a change.
