commissions, most recently working as a member of the board for all non- -- for fullman advocates and jamestown community center. he was the leader on ongoing neighborhood issues. there were many issues maricio worked on over the years. many heard from him on saving the bernal preschool. the latest issue was saving the murals. it was a campaign that has been ongoing for a number of years, and i think through that effort maricio vela demonstrated the kind of person he was. he was passionate. he stood up for what he believed. he was also someone who was willing to extend a hand and reached out to people who do not agree with him. it was because of those efforts that ultimately the issue of what to do with the mural and the library was resolved through mediation, a process and a solution that would not have happened unless maricio vela had actually reached out to people who disagreed with him. in so doing, i did he taught many of us a lot of lessons. some have described him as one of the great ones in community building here in san francisco, a gifted organizer, and that he was. i was reminded tha

he now works for jamestown associates, which bills itself as a full-service republican and political affairs political consulting group. that is who is running concerned tax papers of america. you know, take the concerned taxpayers at their word. maybe they are an organization designed to engage regular citizens, designed to engage people of all walks of life. but you it doesn't really seem like that. it seems like the concerned taxpayers of america is a piece of paper filed with the fdc 29 days ago. and now $165,000 from lord knows where is being spent to get rid of pete defazio. nobody is allowed to know who's behind until the damage is already done. that's the way politics works now. it's not news that corporations and rich people try to get their way in politics. we talked a lot this year about corporations and billionaires funding fake grassroots groups like americans fo prosper ities. they talk about how far global warming is a bunch of hot air. whatever you think about that, at least they are doing something. in 2010 for the first time, nobody is pretending that these organiza
