Okay, the SF results are inBy Tim Redmond
Or at least, enough to call the election as far as I'm concerned. With about half the votes counted, nothing has changed from my last post : Prop. A wins, of course. But so does Prop. B -- which may go down as the most significant outcome of the evening. It's a vote of confidence in the Board of Supervisors, especially since there was no real Yes campaign and the No campaign played on the supposed mistrust in government, which apparently isn't working in San Francisco.
Prop. C wins, of course. Prop. D loses, no surprise. Prop E was always a winner.
I honestly didn't think Prop. B had a chance. Neither did a lot of its backers. So the district supes are more popular than the mayor or a lot of the established pundits think.

I didn't think B would win. I voted against it because I didn't want sups to have more time to cause trouble. Guess I am in the minority. Voted against A but I can see why people would think it is a good idea. Also allow signs on Market st? I can pretty much imagine what those signs will be and it won't be pretty. What are people thinking? I could care less what they call candlestick.

"Shall the City eliminate from its Charter the requirement that each member of the Board of Supervisors have two aides?"
If I didn't know what the actual vote meant I would have voted for it, I suppose someone should have went crying to Jerry Brown.
