Yes on 89

By Rose Ann DeMoro, Letter to the Editor

Editor -- In opposing Prop. 89, the Chronicle has chosen quite an array of bedfellows: Chevron; the drug industry's lobbying arm; PG&E; Blue Cross; State Farm, Mercury, and Zenith insurance companies; the Chamber of Commerce; the Bankers Association; Occidental Oil and Gas; Waste Management; and a host of other corporate interests who want to keep their stranglehold in Sacramento.

By contrast, here's who's endorsing Prop. 89: AARP California, League of Women Voters, the Sierra Club, California Church IMPACT (the legislative advocacy arm of the California Council of Churches), California National Organization for Women, Common Cause, Senior Action Network, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-S.F., S.F. Mayor Gavin Newsom and Supervisor Tom Ammiano, to name just a few of the hundreds of good government, consumer and community supporters.

Chronicle readers may well wish to ask themselves which side they want to be on.
