ARG! Supervisor Keith Carson Cuts Off Line Before Welfare (His Arena) Comes Up!

3. There isn't going to be the public pressure now

Without a large group of the public *also* seeing the problem with Social Services, there will be no pressure on these politicians to even acknowledge the problem exists. That's why I have a sneaking suspicion I was prevented from speaking. If I put the suggestion "in an email" where only the politicians will see it, this will go directly to the trash can: any problem that's stemming *from* Social Services is hidden from the public eye. Moreover, addressing it might open up the can of worms of contradicting some of the convenient myths those same politicians like to trot out.

Even Keith Carson, who is supposedly a Social Services reformer, needs to trot out his "victories", like the fluffball say-nothing weasel word report the County of Alameda just spent a year on putting together (I bet the money spent on that alone could have housed half the homeless).
