Attended the San Francisco Democratic Party Endorsement meeting last night at the State Building (huge crowd). Meeting started at 7 p.m. but public comments were not over until after 9 p.m. (most comments were about decriminalizing prostitution and ROTC.)
Because of the time factor when the voting began it was rushed - so it was hard to follow and hear (no microphones). I left after three hours and missed the votes for Board of Supervisor and City College. Paul Hogarth at BeyondChron www.beyondchron.org did a fine job of reporting.
Based on Amanda Witherell's blog at SFBg Politics Blog www.sfbg.com the vote was as follows:
San Francisco General -Yes - by acclamation
Affordable Housing - Yes
Create an independent Ratepayer advocate - No
Raising the number of signatures for a recall election - Yes
City Employees on charters and boards - no
City elections on even number years - Yes
Unpaid parental leave - Yes
Clean Energy Act - Yes
Pier 70 Plan - Yes
Historic Preservation Commission - Yes
Treatment on Demand Act - Yes
Set asides must be funded - No
Community Justice Center - No
Transportation Authority - No
George W. Bush Sewage Plant - No Position
Decriminalizing Prostitution - Yes
Emergency Response Fee - Yes
Payroll Tax - Yes
Real Property Transfer Tax - yes
Tenant rights - yes
Funding in Iraq - Yes
JROTC - Yes
Supervisors:
District One - Eric Mar
District Three- 1. David Chiu 2. Denise McCarthy
District 4 - Carmen Chu
District 7 - Sean Elsbernd
District 9 David Campos
District 11 - John Avalos

School Board Vote was delayed because two new candidates filed to run. School Board Vote will be August 27, 2008.
One complication is Ranked Choice Voting and how that effects the vote count in November. (Samson Wong from Asian Week just did a very interesting column about rank choice voting in District Four).
The other factor is the Doorhangers on Election Day with Barack Obama at the top of the ticket and if the vote for decriminalizing prostitution, and the vote against ROTC might turn some voters off. (that is why targeting precincts will be so important).
It was nice to see the Central Committee looking more relaxed and back to business without the rancor of the vote for Chair.
