Both the ideas of building a new city hall and expanding the convention center should be put up to a public vote. Do we need billion dollar boondoggles like these when the city’s general fund is over $100 million in the red and it’s facing pension and health care liabilities of more than $2 billion? I
think the majority of voters don’t think so.

this new city hall is an absurd idea. thank goodness Carl DeMaio is raising strong opposition to it. DeMaio probably sees that the special interest developers have bought the votes on city council, so he’s hoping to get the project put to a public vote so he can defeat it at the polls.
