Supervisors vote to give power
to Entertainment Commission

Norman Patrick Doyle
Resident, The Commons
This afternoon, the Board of Supervisors unanimously passed an ordinance granting the Entertainment Commission the power to revoke the permits of establishments which are a public nuisance or a threat to public safety.
It's a step in the right direction. Now let's hope they use it proactively to reduce the number of clubs in the Central District.

Summer’s here and we can definitely see an increase in tourists in the district. Unfortunately, tourists are not immune from becoming a victim to criminal opportunists. Just a reminder to be extra cautious while riding the buses, especially when they are crowded. I have seen an increase in pickpockets, especially on the “F” Line that drops into Fisherman’s Wharf. Keep purses zipped, in front of you at all times and pay attention if it seems that someone keeps bumping into you. For men, keep your wallet in your front pockets with a rubber band around it. I have also seen several reports of wallets taken from purses that are placed on the back of chairs when dining. Keep your purse on your lap and zipped at all times.

This represents a step in the right direction.
