Some Good News and Bad News
By Tom Ammiano, D9 Supervisor, Jan 16, 2007
I regret to report that a tragic house fire at 24th and Treat streets on Christmas night claimed the life of a district 9 father, Mr. Augustine Garcia. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the victim's family, and as always, I have offered my office as a resource should the family need any assistance.

Accomplishments for our Community
By Tom Ammiano, District 9 Supervisor, Dec 14, 2006
Much has happened since the last issue of the Mission Dispatch. First, an update on foot patrols: In the last edition, I reported that the Board of Supervisors had successfully passed a measure that would mandate minimum staffing levels for beat patrols around The City. Though it came as somewhat of a surprise when the Mayor moved to veto the ordinance, the Board was able to override the Mayor's decision with eight votes in favor of the plan, with only three Supervisors dissenting. Starting in January, we will begin to see more police walking the streets, particularly in those areas of District 9 affected by violence. I'd like to thank Captain Goldberg of Mission Station for his enthusiasm and commitment to finding a solution to the problem of staffing foot beats.

Foot Patrol Won’t Solve Crime, but it is Part of the Solution
By Tom Ammiano, District 9 Supervisor, Nov 08, 2006
After many months of negotiations and wrangling, the Board of Supervisors finally passed an ordinance establishing foot patrols throughout most areas of the city. While we all realize that this alone will not solve the problems associated with violence in the Mission, it is certainly part of the solution.

Violence Prevention for District 9
By Tom Ammiano, District 9 Supervisor, Oct 08, 2006
The recent spike in violence is - rightfully — the first worry on the minds of many District 9 residents. My office has received numerous calls from residents weary of becoming victims themselves, others from victimized constituents, some of whom have lost a child, a sibling, or a partner.

San Francisco, the Mission
By Supervisor Tom Ammiano, Aug 05, 2006
In Naples, Italy, they have a saying for people who are consumed by their problems and preoccupations: “Pensa ti la salut, e’ non ti preocuppa’”. It means: be concerned with your health, and don’t worry about anything else. Nothing is more important than our health and the health of those around us, Nothing. Now, finally, we have a law on the books that reflects this universal accepted truth.
