Okay, here’s a big cringe-worthy oops from the Newsom for Governor website.
The mayor loves to talk about technology, and on his campaign website he talks about transparency:
Online Government for Transparency: Mayor Newsom has used technology to cultivate an ongoing conversation with San Francisco residents and to put city services online to increase accessibility and transparency. He recently launched SFrecovery.org to allow citizens to track and provide input on how San Francisco spends federal stimulus dollars and 72hours.org to better prepare San Francisco in the case of a disaster or emergency. And San Francisco’s government television station was recently ranked first among nearly 500 government agencies archiving streaming media content from government meetings.
Anyone who has followed Newsom knows he’s the last person who ought to be bragging about transparency — the guy won’t even release his daily schedule.
But here’s the cringe: Click on sfrecovery.org.
I don’t think that’s what the mayor had in mind.
