Why does Leland Yee let his Chief of Staff violate ethics by campaigning on CA's dime? Trust him?
Senate Leeland Yee's Chief of Staff is using the twitter account for official business to push people to sign up on his bosses campaign website. If WH twitter account @PressSec tried to get away with such a thing, it would be a huge scandal. Yet Yee seems to think he can get away with breaking state ethics -- or at least not get penalized for using state resources to campaign until after the election. How can we trust Yee?

SF is getting left behind on broadband; how would you address this?
As other cities deploy fiber optic broadband, SF is getting left behind, putting our residents and businesses at a disadvantage, exacerbating the digital divide. Demand exists but incumbent carriers aren't interested in fiber. Municipal efforts have been studied, remain largely unfunded, local ISPs face a very complex permitting process to be able to deploy fiber. What practical steps would you take to make fiber broadband a reality in SF?

As Mayor, how will you guide SF to support OpenData citizen entrepreneurs?
OpenGov data is a triple win, making possible accountability, overall cost savings, & offering citizen entrepreneurs new biz opportunity (which in turn may generate more revenue for the city or region). Create a role/team/process to engage with small start-up entrepreneurs & others in *new* business creation to sustain terms, policy, etc. that encourage new OpenData citizen-centric business.
