Today we announced with @myrnamelgar, @D4GordonMar and @alankennywong proposed legislation to help veterans working for big employers be paid the difference between their military and civilian wages for up to 30 days. Veterans shouldn't have to sacrifice $$ security for serving!

...a voice of reason, and someone who we always looked to for guidance. He will be dearly missed and we only hope we can measure up to be close to the person he was.
Rest in peace, our friend.

Today we said goodbye to our fellow commissioner and dear friend George Ishikata. A US Army colonel who served with great distinction, he retired from the military but still served our city as a ROTC instructor. A humble but wise man, he was always a steadfast voice...

Thank you for covering this senseless tragedy and shining a human light on the issues surrounding our conservatorship laws. We can do better. Our veterans deserve better.

[Mallory Moench @mallorymoench]

There's no way to know whether conservatorship would have saved this mentally impaired veteran, or whether a less restrictive option like a care facility would have been better. But what happens when that option is unaffordable in San Francisco? My latest: https://t.co/6tn6fWpdAJ
