And you wonder why Phil Bronstein, whose blog is quite pathetic, even pays attention to her. But Phil is always down with the swells, and now he is promoting Dede’s plan to repeal district elections.

Let me remind you, Phil, since you haven’t been covering City Hall in a long time, that the district-elected supervisors are far, far better, despite their occasional foibles, than any previous board in the 25 years I’ve been watching.

There’s a good reason for this: District candidates can run without big money from the powers that be and the Dede WIlsey’s of the world. So you get candidates with real grassroots constituencies, not just hacks who are pawns of the power structure.
