 I’m Sorry San Francisco
To the 400 San Francisco city employees, who will soon face layoffs, I’m sorry. I am trying to save your jobs, and I am failing, your leaders are not responding to my offer to prevent layoffs in San Francisco. Starting over a month ago, I have written to the city’s Green Division, Mayor Gavin Newsom, the SEIU boss, the San Francisco Chronicle, Board Supervisor Peskin, and incoming Board member David Chiu. The only person who wrote back, was Aaron Peskin, who told me to contact David Chiu after Thanksgiving.
The truth is that you don’t need to be losing your jobs, San Francisco can avoid layoffs of it’s city employees, by promoting early retirement. I have offered the City of San Francisco, the ability to prevent layoffs, by identifying qualified employees for early retirement using the Green Retirement formula and method. Green Retirement enables individuals to retire, with much less savings and years earlier, than is possible with current retirement methods.
Even though I have failed thus far, the battle is not over, their is still time to save your job. But you are going to have to help me, I have been unable to break through the walls of indifference, that run through San Francisco City Hall. Please contact your head of H.R., the Mayor, Supervisors, and anyone else, and tell them that their is a plan to save San Francisco city jobs.
If you are one of the 400 San Francisco city employees, who receives a layoff notice this week, please contact me. I will give you a modified version of Green Retirement Planning and Software free of charge. My way of saying sorry. If you do not receive a layoff notice, do not breathe a sigh of relief, your time is coming. You need to get ahead of the curve, and demand early retirement packages, instead of quietly accepting layoffs.
None of the politicians and economists, in San Francisco or around the nation, understand the gravity of the economic situation. They are all making decisions that will send this recession into a full depression. It must be stopped, it can be stopped, but only if you join me. And you can start by helping me save your job.
Please tell your bosses, and the politicians, their is a plan to save San Francisco City Jobs. For more information, and to get your free retirement planning and software, please visit the Green Retirement website. Now I have to contact Contra Costa County – they just announced 200 employee layoffs.

David Chiu is on a much needed post-campaign vacation. Until he takes office next month, what do you envision his role would be on this issue?

Keith:
Thanks for your comment. I expect David Chiu, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and Mayor Gavin Newsom, to serve as an example on how to lead our city and nation out of financial armageddon.
Layoffs, whether they are government or corporate, should be avoided at all costs. Layoffs create a downward economic spiral, that shrinks tax revenues, necessitating further layoffs.
I am asking that the City of San Francisco, explore the feasibility of using the Green Retirement formula and method, to prevent or reduce layoffs.
San Francisco can become the model, for how to progressively and humanely, deal with budget shortfalls. Retiring, not firing workers, benefits the employee, organization, and economy. Let’s do it, David can enjoy his vacation, and return to a City filled with hope and not despair.

You know it’s people’s greedinest again that the problem. A lot of city and county employee are eligible to retire however they won’t they wanted more money for their retirment. How sure are they that day will come. Life is unpredictable. What is make them so sure that they will still be around 2 to 3 years from. For myself, I’d rather retire now and enjoy the fruits of my labor. It’s GREED…this is what got us in this mess in the first place.
