SF Transit Riders Union

At our event today at Lisa Feldstein’s house in Cole Valley, Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi today delivered an impassioned defense of the parking tax.

To paraphrase, he said something like “some people like to test polls and play games and back away from things if they don’t poll well, but I just helped to defeat Prop 16 where we we didn’t assume defeat because they were going to outspend us 500 to 1.”

He was happy to hear of the support for the parking tax from the Transit Riders Union allies and steering committee members the Chinese Progressive Association, Chinatown Community Development Center, and POWER (People Organized to Win Employment Rights).

Now, add to that list the Sierra Club. Read their letter, and the many reasons to love the parking tax, here.
