Live Blogging! San Francisco Treasurer Debate
So I'm watching the candidates at the debate. This isn't a slick political operation. Clearly most of them aren't used to speaking in forums like this.
Of course I have a horse in this race. I've met Mr. Wang! I'm watching to see if he has followed Spocko's advice. He is but I just wish I could have done a West Wing style practice debate. I could play Cheryl Jennings!
Cisneros is smooth and seems a bit windup toy. He reminds me of someone giving the presentation for the 200th time. "I'm really excited to be here." (yeah right). He has the political line down, but does he have the "save money/ generate money line down?"
Louie had a good line about asking all the banks to fight for the cities business. But of course that is just one part of the revenue generation game.
14% of businesses aren't registered and paying taxes. Wow. I wonder if they are massage parlors? I'm sure we could get plenty of volunteers to audit them!
Velle, seems to be having a hard time communicating his ideas about what is important.
Wang just did a great job with his ability to fix the computer systems. Of course that was right in his wheelhouse, so I was glad to see him hit that one out of the park.
Wang has alot of cool ideas on revenue generation, money creation manager. That is a good line. He has the passion about that topic. Of course not all of them will be viable, but it is great to see someone "thinking out side the city hall box."
I don't know if I would go for a dog tax.
Nobody is answering the question? "Who should be second?" I like the idea of the question. I have to remember to give canidates a funny line for tough 'gotcha' questions like that.
God, if Cisneros says "I'm excited to..." one more time with that deadpan delivery I'll scream.
