San Francisco to ‘Lead the Way’
By Gavin Newsom, SF Mayor, Feb 15, 2008
Four years ago I had the distinguished honor to be elected mayor of this incredible city. I am indeed thankful to all to my friends, family and supporters who helped me reach my dream of serving the good people of San Francisco and providing a government to you that is efficient, responsive and innovative. Being a model 21st century city and leading the way for the rest of the country require nothing less. As I enter my 2nd term as Mayor, I am again honored and sincerely thankful for the privilege to serve as your Mayor and for a city I love so dearly.

Bank on San Francisco: Building a Better Financial Future for Everyone
By Gavin Newsom, SF Mayor, Jan 15, 2008
Every day, thousands of San Franciscans are losing their hard-earned money simply because they do not have a bank account. An estimated 50,000 San Francisco households are “unbanked,” meaning they get by without a checking or savings account. Among African Americans and Latinos, approximately one in two adults has no bank account. Without access to mainstream financial services, unbanked San Franciscans are forced to turn to expensive check cashers, spending hundreds of dollars a year to cash checks and pay bills. Estimates suggest unbanked families spend an average of 5% of their net income just to manage their basic finances.

Embracing Our Responsibilities
By Gavin Newsom, SF Mayor, Nov 02, 2007
San Francisco achieved another historic milestone last month in our efforts to be America's leading city for solar power and clean energy when I joined officials from the San Francisco International Airport and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) to unveil the city's newest solar energy project on the roof of SFO's Terminal #3. This new 456 kilowatt system will draw enough power from the sun to provide all the daytime lighting needs of within Terminal #3 as well as excess power to spare.

S.F. Takes On Climate Challenge
By Gavin Newsom, Mayor , Oct 15, 2007
San Francisco is ramping up its efforts to tackle the climate crisis. We’re collecting food scraps and converting them to organic compost, eliminating unnecessary plastic bags and water bottles, exploring tidal power under the Golden Gate Bridge, and communicating the solar energy potential of rooftops to homeowners over the internet. The City continues to lead the way in pursuing carbon reduction strategies that work.

S.F. Communities Get Connected
By Gavin Newsom, S.F. Mayor, Sep 18, 2007
San Francisco is known around the world for our culturally rich and diverse communities. In fact, millions of people visit our city each year to experience first hand the neighborhoods and communities that make our city so unique. Our communities are the true lifeline and heartbeat of the city. They are an invaluable resource and refuge for our residents to live, raise a family, shop, eat and play. For this reason it is important that we (the government and nonprofits) make every effort to ensure that our neighborhoods continue to grow and provide for a quality of life that all our residents can enjoy.
