			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_739" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 286px"><img class="size-full wp-image-739" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Gavin Newsom Talking To Major Donors" src="http://iloveyougavinnewsom.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/correction_gay_marriage_fx1.jpg" alt="Gavin Newsom Talking To Major Donors" width="276" height="193" /><p class="wp-caption-text">&quot;Don&#39;t worry pal, voters don&#39;t read anymore.&quot;</p></div>
<p>Gavin Newsom ran for mayor saying he&#8217;s all for a city government that is competitive, cost-effective, and efficient.</p>
<p>Sounds good in direct mail and on TV ads.</p>
<p>But if you scratch the shiny hair gel-covered surface of Gavin, there you will find many schemes and political hand jobs. <a href="http://www.beyondchron.org/news/index.php?itemid=6916" target="_blank">This is one of them.</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.beyondchron.org/news/index.php?itemid=6916" target="_blank">BeyondChron</a> writes that you should forget about his public commitment to competitive bidding, or his claims that his RFQ’s enhanced cost-effectiveness.</p>
<p><strong>Gavin Newsom&#8217;s RFP process allowed the city to pay significantly more for equivalent services by choosing his preferred more expensive contractors</strong>.</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.beyondchron.org/news/index.php?itemid=6916" target="_blank">Processes were manipulated to achieve the politically desired result.</a></p></blockquote>
<p>This, in an era of fiscal scarcity and crisis?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s sound fiscal policy in a nearly <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2009/05/15/state/n214124D44.DTL" target="_blank">bankrupt city</a>!</p>
<p>Since most voters are low information voters, they probably won&#8217;t read the whole story and try to understand the policy complexities of the man-child mayor ripping off the community.</p>
<p>You made it this far.  Please read deep and share with your favorite peep.</p>
