After lunch had been
going on for a while Susan announced that if you
wanted vegan burritos, some were now on the food table. Then she said
that Ross Mirkarimi would be speaking very soon. It wasn't long after
that.
Ross began by welcoming us to San
Francisco. Then he talked about a number of interesting things. My
favorite was how surprised he still is
about the immense response and positive feedback he'd gotten from
the shoping bag legislation. It seemed like for half an hours work the
world had come to his doorstep.
After he had left the stage, Ross
picked up this thing and came back up. It was a surprise to everybody
when he presented it to Mike as an Honor from the City of San Francisco.
Then Daniel spoke about his campaign for Congress in the Special
Election caused by the death of an LA incumbent. He is the only Green
running, so he could have good chance to get the message out if
the Primary isn't decisive. Even if it is, he plans to get the word out
between now and the election in June. He is looking for help in his LA
District.
Allow me to plead the fifth. You won't?
Okay, I've used at least one bag in this life. 3008
