No limitsBy Steven T. Jones
Well, the gloves have come off in the District 6 supervisorial race. The Ethics Commission has just announced that the voluntary spending caps have been lifted in that race, responding to complaints that the tens of thousands of dollars in hit pieces on Sup. Chris Daly have effectively blown the caps. Daly, Rob Black, and the other major candidates had agreed to limit their campaign expenditures to $83,000 or less, and both Black and Daly have already spent about half that, according to just filed campaign finance statements. Now that the caps are gone, Daly is free to spend the $95,000 he has in the bank, outstripping the $52,000 Black has on hand. Add those totals (which are far from complete with a month still to go) to the fat wads of cash that anti-Daly forces are still like to throw around and expect the fur to fly.

I just got home and found some of these despicable mailings in my box...the one from the SF Association of Realtors had official Rob Black campaign photos and was timed to arrive exactly at the same time as the official Rob Black mailer. If that's not coordination, I don't know what is.
Fortunately, I think voters in District 6 will see right through this crap. Rob Black is clueless and a political lighweight using someone else's money. It's obvious to see, and voters will see it and do the right thing on election day.
