The Good — The Leg Drop Award:  Mayor Lisa Gillmor and Councilmember Kathy Watanabe

Mayor Lisa Gillmor and Councilmember Kathy Watanabe successfully pushed a $400 million bond measure.  It was smaller, more focused, more accountable, and more transparent than what City staff wanted.  They did it using their words and this website.

Voters will decide in November if they want to make major investments in the Mission City for projects including the International Swim Center.

The Bad — The Jabroni Award: Councilmembers Suds Jain and Kevin Park

The 49er Five were not happy with the most recent Grand Jury reports. But Councilmembers Suds Jain and Kevin Park were the most sour.  

Jain and Park attacked the report’s conclusions. They questioned the motives of grand jurors. They urged City staff to dismiss the report and the grand jury, too. 

Anyone watching Jain and Park would conclude that the Grand Jury was right about the 49er Five’s “abusive and belittling behavior.”
