Adachi's pension reform and the D. 10 candidates

As pretty much everyone knows by now, Jeff Adachi collected enough signatures to place a charter amendment on the November ballot that would reform the city’s retirement and health benefits plan. His amendment has become such a hot political topic that the Potrero Hill Democractic Club asked the 15 candidates who spoke at the club’s  August 2 and 3 District 10 forums what they thought of Adachi’s “smart reform.".

Steve Moss Raises More in Public Matching Funds Than All Other D-10 Supervisor Candidates Combined

SAN FRANCISCO -- Steve Moss, candidate for District 10 Supervisor, announced today that his campaign committee has received an additional $36,340 in matching public funds, bringing his public finance total to $46,340: the most any publicly financed candidate has received in San Francisco to date. Moss’ latest infusion of matching funds, as certified by the San Francisco Ethics Commission, amounts to more public funding received than all other District 10 candidates combined. Moss’ widespread support in the District has propelled him to the top amidst a crowded District 10 field.

“The contributions I’m receiving from San Francisco residents, combined with public financing, means I have more time to talk with voters and hear their concerns, rather than soliciting big donors and catering to special interests. District 10 voters are looking for new leadership and a responsive Supervisor. I’ve been working in and for the neighborhoods of District 10 for years,” said Moss, founder of San Francisco Community Power www.sfpower.net and publisher of the View, www.potreroview.net, San Francisco’s longest running neighborhood newspaper.

Moss’ deep experience in public policy and the nonprofit sector sets him apart in a crowded field of candidates for Supervisor in his home district. For the past decade, Moss has worked with the district’s working-class families, churches, and neighborhood businesses to lower their energy and water bills, and create green jobs; and has collaborated with a coalition of community groups to close the Hunters Point Power Plant - accomplished in 2006 – and the Potrero Power Plant, which will hopefully be shuttered this year.
