I would not vote for Fiona Ma, she has very corrupt associations, nor would I vote for Leland Yee, I think he is an idiot. I would definately vote for Jerry Hill.

I only vote for round eye.

This comment is raciest and idiotic, and should not be tagged to Kathleen. Leland Yee sided with "nothing for Pacifica" city council, and went out of his way to recommend a no vote for quarry development. He is not a good friend to the economic concerns of this city.

I wonder if Koo Koo Kathleen is really Leland Yee.

Krazy Kathleen said...

Leland Yee and Fiona Ma are Chinese. They take orders from Peking. Vote for Jerry Hill.

What are her corrupt associations?

Anonymous, see controversies associated with Fiona Ma, 12th District Assemblywoman, San Francisco as follows from Wikipedia, detail links in the text http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiona_Ma

Ma has had very loose associations with two convicted felons, Norman Hsu and former Triad society figure Raymond Kwok Chow. She received substantial donations from Hsu and his associates in 2007, and her office issued a certificate of honor for Chow in 2006. Additionally, she received money in 2004 from a cement contractor suspected of substandard work. Ma returned this money when she found out about the substandard work.

The Paw family of Daly City (associates of Norman Hsu) made combined donations of $10,000 to Ma on May 20, 2007. On the same day, Hsu gave an additional $5,000 under his own name.[5] Donations by Hsu, and Winkle and Marina Paw represent more than 50% of donations by large donors contributing $5000 or more to Ma in 2007. Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have chosen not to keep Hsu's contributions and are reviewing contributions from the Paws.[6][7]

In 2006, a member of Ma's staff presented Raymond Chow[8] a certificate of honor from the Board of Supervisors. This individual has been implicated in attempting to extort $100,000 from Allen Leung, who was murdered after refusing to pay. After Leung's murder, Chow took control of the Hop Sing Tong. Ma said "Raymond Chow says he's learned his lesson the hard way and wants to be a positive influence on the lives of young people. I'm an optimist and want to believe that people mean what they say, but only time will tell."[9]

In 2004 Ma returned campaign contributions from Ricardo Ramirez, the owner of a concrete company whom over the years had contributed to the campaigns of John Burton, former Lt. Governor Cruz Bustamante, and former Mayor Willie Brown. After she had collected the contribution, evidence emerged that Ramirez had supplied substandard, recycled concrete for several major San Francisco construction projects, including the rebuild of the Bay Bridge eastern span. Once this evidence was revealed, Ma returned the contribution given by Ramirez.[10]
