Dear Greens,

    Our full endorsements for June are now posted:
http://sfgreenparty.org/endorsements/74-june-2016-endorsements

A complete Green Voter Guide will be posted closer to the election,
giving all the reasons behind our endorsements.

Local candidates:
* Barry Hermanson for Congress, CD12
* Victor Hwang and Sigrid Irias for Judge (dual endorsement)

Local propositions:
* YES on A: bond for SF General Hospital
* NO on  B: Set-asides for corrupt Rec & Park department
* YES on  C: Charter Amendment for Affordable Housing
* YES on  D: Office of Citizen Complaints
* YES on  E: Paid Sick Leave

Other propositions:
* No position on AA: Parcel tax for Bay restoration (wetlands
  restoration is necessary, but this fund appears to be especially
  ripe for corruption)
* No position on 50: Legislative suspension process (well-motivated by
  Leeland Yee case, but process could be abused to apply to
  legislators who have not committed crimes)

Early endorsements for November:
* Francisco Herrera for Supervisor, District 11

*===========================*

How Green is your Supervisor?

Our report card for the SF Board of Supervisors in 2015 is now
posted. It shows the most important votes in 2015, from a Green Party
perspective, and whether each supervisor supported or opposed our
position.
