Mayor Ed Lee Vetoes Supes' Bill Closing Sharp Park Golf Course

With the veto Ed Lee continues the tradition of using the mayoral office as the last bastion of what passes for common sense in EssEff, and at least partially restraining the on-going clusterfuck that is our Board of Supervisors.

Although it is the easy narrative, it is not accurate to characterize this as Environmentalists vs. Golfers. Let's get real. This is San Francisco - the city that bans "Happy Meals" in McDonalds, plastic bags in stores, circumcisions in hospitals, and mandates composting in residential high rise apartments. If it really was a question of environmentalists vs. golfers, it would be no contest. The reality is that this issue is more about "Environmentalists" vs. "Environmentalists". There is a real and substantial difference in opinion between environmental scientists on both sides of this issue. Golfers fortunately can claim one group of environmentalists as allies or the issue would already be decided. This is, after all, San Francisco.

As Peter, points out, competing environmental science claims had a hearing in a federal court a few weeks ago which was lost by CBD/WEI. The judges finding was consistent with what we've heard before from biologist Karen Swaim. It is important to understand that those who would close the course are losing the environmental science argument.That fact is lost when the discussion is inaccurately framed exclusively as Environmentalist vs. Golfer.

NORAHG Responds to the SIEGE OF ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORAgainst Sharp Park Golf Course, San Francisco, California.

MEDIA RELEASE

The Mayor of San Francisco, Hon. Ed Lee, must beCONGRATULATED for SAVING Sharp Park Golf Course.

Five Supervisors who supported the Mayor must also beCONGRATULATED.

And the Mayor and Supervisors of San Mateo County havealso EARNED OUR THANKS.

This golf facility has been under a SIEGE OFENVIRONMENTAL TERROR under the PRETEXT of somehow protecting obscure andinsignificant species.

In fact, Sharp Park Golf Course is NOT harming ANYanimal species.

As usual, Enviro-Lunatics DESPISE the Game of Golf.

Anti-Golf Organizations like National ParksConservation Association and Wild Equity Institute have TERRORIZED the City ofSan Francisco for years over the future of Sharp Park Golf Course.

The golf facility MAY STILL BE CLOSED because of theirRELENTLESS AND UNCEASING LIES and MIS-INFORMATION.

The habitat that Enviro-Lunatics are trying to «recover » was originally created when the golf course was built along with asea wall, isolating the Laguna Sal from ocean waves.

IF the golf course had NEVER BEEN BUILT, there wouldbe no habitat for the endangered species.

Anti-Golf Enviro-Lunatics seek the DESTRUCTION of theGolf Industry.

These terrorists ATTACK the Golf Industry under thePRETEXT of ALLEGED ill-effects on the habitats of obscure and insignificantspecies like Garter Snakes and Tadpoles.

The Golf Industry Should Tell Anti-Golf Activists toGet OFF Our grASS and Roast In Hell.

Wow....instead of keeping schools open, lee decides to spend 10+ mil of sf taxpayer money keeping a crappy golf course open.

I will sleep easier this Christmas knowing that San Francisco will continue to subsidize golf for Pacifica residents.
