Mayoral candidate Michael Powers
“As a candidate for Mayor it is my intent to accomplish the following tasks for my fellow residents. I will:
*make Muni free and introduce a community bicycle program with 10,000 bikes
as in Paris.
*protect our city’s skyline through slow growth rather than our present program
of Manhattanization.
*lower our crime rate by increasing the number of police officers we have on our
streets by use of Lateral Transfer hiring and insisting that sworn personnel are not
wasted on administrative duties.
*use our bike program to allow the homeless to become its supervised labor pool
in bike maintenance, thus teaching them a trade.
*encourage the promotion of Harvey Milk’s birthday as a national holiday.”
