There should be at least a 4 to 5 year waiting period before there is any "shift in power." This initiative does not provide that.

This proposal would remove expert oversight of the design of new development projects, leading to more bad development faster. At the same time, it would remove an important forum for the public to have a voice in how our city develops.

Despite his handlers best efforts to script him he was inadequate in his knowledge of the city in the debates and the neighborhood presentations. The funniest debate moment was when he faced the question about gay marriage----he didn't seem prepped there and he froze up. When he got to my neighborhood he had a new script.

From the very beginning, Mayor Kevin Johnson's main interest has been in grabbing more power. He has a band of free volunteer lawyers advising him---lawyers representing development companies. Mayor Johnson's main concerns and priorities are in giving development companies sweetheart deals, at the neglect and abuse of the environment. Please, please, oppose giving this arrogant, power-hungry mayor even more power.
