| Bush Sewage Plant plan flushed |
| 2008-11-06 |
| All in all, a bad election day for San Francisco local politics.... The Republican brand may have stunk on Election Night, but not enough for San Francisco voters to rename a sewage treatment plant after President George W. Bush. Proposition R would have changed the city's Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant to the George W. Bush Sewage Plant. Too bad. Try Cheney next time... "Proponents got together and thought it would be funny to name a sewage plant after President Bush, as their way to take a shot," said Tony Winnicker, a spokesman for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, which remained neutral on the issue. Yeah, Tony sounds neutral. But voters apparently did not think the prank on the unpopular president was worth the $50,000 that officials estimated it would cost to not only change the name on the facilities, but also the lettering on materials and publications. The measure was soundly rejected, as 69 percent of voters laid waste to it, according to unofficial results. Yeah, that's 50 grand they could spend on a plane tickets back to Nicaragua for illegal alien crack dealers. Priorities, people! Perhaps they didn't think the sewage plant smelled bad enough. Winnicker said 85 percent of it is underground and that there is hardly any odor. Funny guy, that Tony. What's your husband think? Oooooooooh, sorry. |
