Fault Lines: Daly’s badge plan another blunder

Of all the dumb proposals that have been pushed by Supervisor Chris Daly lately, few have reached the level of silliness as his plan to make lobbyists wear badges while doing their thing at City Hall. The proposal came out some time ago, when Daly was swearing at consultants at public hearings and getting himself into all kinds of trouble and newspaper stories.

Yet Daly socked away a lot of money from those lawyers, lobbyists and developers during his re-election campaign, and his colleagues — at least seven of them — saw through the ruse and rejected the idea this week.

Perhaps he would have had better luck if he had suggested they don love beads, like the kind Daly wore to look so sharp during the period he was accessorizing.

Now Daly is left to try and turn the San Francisco Zoo into a glorified cat-herding farm.

L.Hong: "You said, "Hardly a bad word to say about music fest" and I will totally disagree with you. It had produce havoc to the neighborhood plus miles away from from the Bluegrass Music. Illegal parking all around were made where residents could not go in or out of their own driveways! More announcements and notifications should be made publicly to advise ALL of those music audiences to take public transportations in lieu of driving their cars. There isn't enough parking spaces for ALL those Bluegrass listeners and party people!"
