Right....

I wonder if he is going to furnish free laptops to all the street people to empower them? Note: last time I was in The City was 1986, lots of street people then.

While I like the idea of the network (I wonder when the established monopolies are going to sue for unfair competition), calling it a 'right' is nothing more than a political ploy. What do you think we pay the libraries for? That is where I go when I do not have connection, of course from a fiscally responsible standpoint, I can not afford a laptop to lug around either.

And who is going to pay for it? At least Lompoc has a fee schedule set up, which would make a lie to his 'fundamental right of all citizens' statement.

As far as a universal right to information Mr. Newsom, have you noticed that many of the really good information sites are going to a pay for information mode (at least ones I use to use)?

I was in the city last month. There are lots of street people now.

The city can pay for it by selling same-sex marriage licenses!

Not that there's anything wrong with that!
