Why Can’t Fanctions get Together to Fix Health Care System?
by James Keys Dec 14, 2007
Universal Health Care is the “order of the day.” Everywhere you turn it is on the news and being discussed by Presidential hopefuls and gubernatorial lame ducks. San Francisco California is just beginning to offer free health services to its residents and Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is expected to reach a final agreement in the next week on a health care overhaul that could go to a vote as soon as Dec. 05, 2007. Yet why can’t these factions get together to make Universal Health Care work?

Vote ‘No’ on Prop. D — the Billion dollar Hidden Bond Authhorization
Nov 02, 2007
DEAR EDITOR: Proposition D, the Library measure on the Nov. 6, 2007 ballot, is a civic disgrace. It is a bond authorization in disguise. And it is being sold with misinformation and worse. Big Dollars, Harming What People Want Most. Proposition D will hurt the very things people want most in our libraries: good collections, services, and open hours. It is big — it would control more than $1.2 Billion ($1,200 Million) in library spending over the next 15 years. (The current $78 million budget times 15 year life of the measure = $1.2 Billion, without adjusting for inflation).

Dear Editor:
Arresting Syringe Possessors is a Waste of Taxes
Jul 16, 2007
I noticed with some frustration the Mission Station Crime Log piece titled 'Possession of hypodermic syringes', in which it is reported that a man was arrested for possessing syringes. This seems to me to be an awful case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. The City of San Francisco funds needle exchange because it is a well-proven way of reducing HIV transmission among drug users, and a well-proven method for reducing the number of needles dumped on the streets by the more idiotic drug users. We, the citizens of San Francisco, pay for this pragmatic public health program through our taxes.

 To the Editor of the Mission Dispatch and its Readers:
Suzanne Walterich Jun 11, 2007
In response to the vitriolic letter written by Misha Olivas in response to the article in March 2007 concerning Ruben Raul Guzman, may I reply by saying that I, Suzanne Walterich aka Susana Guzman, know of Misha, am aware she is Ruben’s cousin (not his niece as the front page of the May issue stated), however I do not know Ms. Olivas personally. Although Ruben and I did live next door to her family, not once was she a visitor to our home. The only exchange I have ever had with Ms. Olivas was a simple hello or maybe a wave of the hand.
