Legislative Record
In 2007, Peskin authored a charter amendment to increase San Francisco Municipal Railway (MUNI) funding and implement agency reforms. The measure, Prop A, which received over 55 percent of the vote was a response to a pro-parking measure, Prop H, funded by The Gap founder and republican billionaire Don Fisher. Fisher spent lavishly in support of Prop. H, a measure that would have undone numerous transit-first measures in downtown San Francisco.

Famous quotes containing the words legislative and/or record:
“Let reverence for the laws, be breathed by every American mother, to the lisping babe, that prattles on her lap—let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges;Mlet it be written in Primers, spelling books, and in Almanacs;Mlet it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget. In this—as in other ways—they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
