This is a tough call for me and one for which I would appreciate any input. On one hand, paid sick leave should be a basic right. On the
other hand, I know there are many small businesses that truly operate right at the margins, and I worry about the consequences of
such a policy. What does everyone think?
G: No
H: Yes
J. YES YES YES
K: Yes
Ok, that where I stand as of tonight. I welcome all opinions, suggestion, criticism or general rant you may have about what I wrote. Before I stop, I want to than SF For Democray for putting on the canssidates forum yesterday on Fillmore. I thought I knew who I was going to support and who I would not support, but watching the
candiates changed my mind in several instances. I wound up supporting Green candidates for School Board and BART Board. I also learned that Jaynry Mak is as vacant as Fiona Ma and Hydra Mendoza's tenure in the Mayor's office did NOT prepare her for the School
Board, IMHO. ;) |
