[Sustain] Next Tuesday, June 3, Radiation On Treasure Island Forum, Commonwealth Club: Must Get Tickets By 5pm Today
by Eric Brooks 28 May '14

28 May '14

Hi all, The State and Navy coverup of radiation in Lennar Corporation's real estate development areas on Treasure Island, the Bayview Hunters Point Shipyard, and our eastern bay waterfront and wilderness areas, is finally getting the attention of the media. The Commonwealth Club in San Francisco is holding a forum on the Treasure Island revelations this coming Tuesday, June 3rd at 6pm. Igniting this issue in the media gives us a chance to halt a major Wall Street real estate marauder that is running roughshod over our city, its residents, the waterfront, and the Bayview and Treasure Island communities. HOWEVER, the forum will not be held unless it gets at least 40 reservations by 5pm today. Tickets for non Commonwealth Club members are $20. To reserve a seat, and for more information, go to: http://www.commonwealthclub.org/events/2014-06-03/secrets-treasure-island-u… Eric B

[Sustain] CleanPowerSF: Reports On Avalos Blocking Mayor From Grabbing CleanPowerSF Reserve Fund
by Eric Brooks 22 May '14

22 May '14

Hi all, Today San Francisco Supervisor John Avalos led a successful vote at the SF Budget and Finance Committee (I believe for the first time in the history, to reject the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC)'s entire budget, in order to leverage the Mayor to engage in negotiations about the $19.5 million CleanPowerSF reserve fund, which the Mayor attempted to raid for other programs. Here are three early reports on the vote from the SF Chronicle, Examiner and Guardian: http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Sparks-fly-over-mayor-s-effort-to-rai… http://www.sfexaminer.com/PoliticsBlog/archives/2014/05/21/supervisors-reje… http://www.sfbg.com/politics/2014/05/21/supes-wont-let-mayor-raid-cleanpowe… Eric B
