It appears that some officials from the City and County of San Francisco, together with conspirators from Alameda County are attempting to short-circuit the checks and balances that were put in place for oversight of the controversial BayWEB project.  Santa Clara County Executive Jeffrey Smith continues to be the voice for fiscal responsibility and ethical behavior in this matter as evidenced by the letter he sent to Alameda County Undersheriff Richard Lucia on October 7, 2011. (Reprinted below.)

Wouldn’t you think all of the San Francisco mayoral candidates would jump on this opportunity to publicly clean up the BayWEB mess?   I’m especially concerned that San Francisco’s interim Mayor Ed Lee seems to tacitly approve the ongoing improprieties related to BayWEB.  Where do the other candidates stand on the BayWEB scandal?
