---I would suggest that anyone read the document from the controller’s office and assess why it never had much of a chance. We tried to change a sinking ship and have it ready to sail, again, almost overnight. I remember running into Mayor Gavin Newsom outside of D3 in the old building. He was there for the ribbon cutting ceremony scheduled for later on that day. He said I’ll see you at the ribbon cutting ceremony. I told him that I’m protesting the whole thing and am not going. He looked at me quizzically, but had to go. The reason for my protest was that we cosmetically built a new building that would surely impress certain people in the city (which was a very good thing that it did,) but we never did the necessary work touched upon by Lumetra, etc. To this day I think we would have benefited greatly (staff + resident) from many of the suggestions given at the time. Reading the document opened my eyes to things I was not aware of. I’m still working through it. And, NO...it was NOT the NEW GALLEY situation.
---Anyway, I hope that you enjoy reading the 7 page pdf. There are many still here from those times. Be Well and Take Care.
---There is one thing that I would like to add. I am 70 years old now. I was 52 when I had the stroke, etc. Fighting City Hall was easier at a young age. I think that some can now appreciate that it is very different being the helper, then the one who needs the help. At the very least you learn how different being helped by someone who actually wants to be helpful can be. We will all go through this at sometime. Be kind at ALL times. It pays dividends.
