Hey, Ellis! I thought pissing off Mayor Huether was my job?!

I couldn’t agree more with Ellis’ column this week more. The Events Center vote will fail, because those who care about fiscal responsibility and low taxes will always show up to the polls;
Voters in the Staggers Brigade do not look kindly on big, expensive government projects that hold the promise of future government subsidies. They want their city government to provide good, basic services rather than circuses.
You also forgot to mention monkey crappers. I think we want more then good basic services. I also believe in funding social issues, such as the homeless. I also think parks should be funded and maintained.
Passing the idea will be hard enough, even if it appears on a general-election ballot.
While I agree, passing it will be tough, I also think the best chance is this Spring, special election, by itself. Pull that bandaid off already and stop throwing taxpayer money in a burn barrel on different ‘options’. Tell us how you will pay for it, and let us vote.
SF City government; so predictable.
