[Sustain] Email Supes To Stop Starbucks Displacing Neighborhood Cafes!

[Eric Brooks]

The Board Clerk told me that when email goes to that address which is 
relevant to an upcoming hearing or vote an an issue, they forward it to 
the Board.

If you have had mail rejected. you might want to do a sunshine request 
to see if the Clerk is properly forwarding all legitimate emails.

The reality is, it is -much- more likely that an email recipient will 
click on one address than if they have to decide between eleven of them, 
so we'll get a lot more comments to all of the Supes.

peace
