The San Francisco Citizen

These days in Congress, it’s

S 1315 
VS
HR 6897

Or in other words, what’s the best way to compensate Filipinos who served alongside American troops during World War II?

This was the scene yesterday in from of the Old Federal Building on Golden Gate:

Some people have given up on Senate Bill S1315, which would provide a pension to the veterans, but others still believe it can become law.

We’ll find out soon enough, it looks like.

San Francisco’s hybrid-only Green Cab Company started up a while back and seems to be doing well. But now, old-school cab companies are getting into the act.

Veterans Cab Company, where former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown worked (until they raised the “gate fees” on him) a long time ago while a student at UC Hastings School of Law , now has Toyota Priuseses.

How about that? In the real world, these things can get about four times better fuel economy when compared to a regular taxi kind of car, such as the Ford Crown Victoria. That all adds up during a ten-hour shift.
