Editor’s note: A while back I was bemoaning the fact that the local news media could show us pictures of the surface of Mars and the “Sojourner” space vehicle, but they couldn’t get us access to our own public election records.

From Mayor Brown’s letter: “I am extremely disapppointd that the Willie Brown Democratic Club, for whatever reason, did not support these important propositions (“Yes” on D and F) . . . The Willie Brown Democratic Club failed to be sensitive to the needs and opinions of the community . . . I no longer wish my name to be associated with (your club.)”
