San Francisco Bureauweenies Milk the Global Warming Hoax
Posted by Dave Blount at February 20, 2008 1:04 PM
The ecomoonbattery we've been forced to wade through recently doesn't come cheap. For example, a 34-year-old bureauweenie named Wade Crowfoot is collecting over $160,000 a year from taxpayers to be San Francisco's Director of Climate Protection Initiatives.
Crowfoot is only the tip of the iceberg:
San Francisco has at least two dozen other city employees already working directly on climate issues at a cost to taxpayers of hundreds of thousands of dollars. […]
In addition to the director of climate protection initiatives in Newsom's office, San Francisco has an Energy and Climate Program team of eight people in the Department of the Environment, who combined earn more than $800,000 a year in salary and benefits, including a "climate action coordinator." At least 12 San Francisco Public Utilities Commission staff members work on climate issues related to water and energy, including a $146,000-a-year "projects manager for the climate action plan."
Also in the name of climate control, the Municipal Transportation Agency has a "manager of emissions reductions and sustainability programs" who works on making Muni's bus fleet greener, and the San Francisco International Airport has a "manager of environmental services" who oversees such projects as the installation of energy-efficient lighting and solar panels.
The list doesn't include the scores of staff members who work on broader environmental policies, like the recently hired $130,700-a-year "greening director" in Newsom's office, or Jared Blumenfeld, who earns $207,500 a year in salary and benefits as the head of the city's Environment Department, which has a staff of 65 and annual budget of about $14 million.
To state the obvious, nothing the kooks running San Franfreakshow can do is going to affect the climate. But don't tell that to the taxpayers forced to finance this boondoggle. Meanwhile, lawmakers might reduce hospital operating room hours in an attempt to rein in a projected $233 million deficit.
If by some magical process San Franciscans could be made sane for a day, their drunken degenerate Mayor Gavin Newsom would be tarred, feathered and run out of town on a rail. But then, the same could be said for the whole country and its leadership — not that the next elections offer any hope of improvement.
On a tip from dpt.
