Attended Board of Equalization Chair Betty Yee's Campaign Kick-off for 2010.
Jammed packed event at Gaylord Indian Restaurant held Thursday night. Attendees included former State Senator Carole Migden, San Francisco Board of Supervisors President of the Board David Chiu, San Francisco Supervisor Carmen Chu, San Francisco Community College Board member Steve Ngo.
San Francisco Assessor-Recorder Phil Ting did a masterful job of introducing Betty Yee as "what is right about government". "She doesn't blink" - "fights for what she believes in".
Betty knows her job, enjoys her job and works so hard. That is why she has such loyal friends and supporters.
Candidates for Supervisor in 2010 were in attendance: Debra Walker - District 6; Rafael Mandelman, Rebecca Prozan, Laura Spanjian - District 8. Jeannie Maher - Betty Yee's DCCC Proxy was there along with Jane Morrison and my favorite dad - Clifford Waldeck and his adorable daughter Carly.

- We are concerned that proposed reductions (30%) for city departments may result in poorly funded programs that impact women, children and family health.
- We are concerned- even outraged - that last year's budget provided generous allocations for the Marina Yacht Club when women's shelters were struggling to stay afloat.
- We are concerned that in a period of increased domestic violence that services and resources for victims of violence are likely to experience cuts.
We need to take action - please come to learn, talk, and plan.
