First to accept funding from a foreign interest should be illegal, and second if I am not mistaken the Tides Foundation is one of George Soros'. Why are these things not exposed during the campaign? I am assuming they were not.Alainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649264476699871612.post-61517274195509543142011-09-04T18:38:45.514-07:002011-09-04T18:38:45.514-07:00Good suggestion, Alain.

Unfortunately Mayor Robertson et al (elected with the help of $300K from the Tides Foundation) has created and approved a brand new loony "greenest city" mandate.
