I do some web work for Mark Leno.

It's not often that the 300 signatures are gathered to actually pull something off of the consent calendar, but it happens. What doesn't happen is getting twice the number of required signatures. A few signatures over 600, in fact.

Tomorrow, Bill Clinton will be speaking to the convention, and Kamala Harris, SF's DA, will be speaking on behalf of Obama. While I have great respect for the 42nd president of the United States, he is not known for being a timely gentleman. What time the platform, the SD-03 race, and the consent calendar will come up are pretty much all dependent upon when President Clinton shows up.

Tomorrow should be an exciting day for the San Francisco folks and the Clinton delegates. Should be fun.

The full Democratic State Central Committee is now on record for opposing an extension of the 241 Toll Road to Trestles. No one pulled this measure from the consent calendar, so once we all voted for the consent calendar on state issues, we voted for the resolution to protect San Onofre State Park from TCA and its ridiculous plan to build a toll road to nowhere. Congratulations to all the hardworking local environmentalists throughout Southern California! We're one step closer to saving San Onofre for good. : )
