Matt Gonzalez Speaks at the Green Festival

Matt Gonzalez briefly took to the main stage today at the second annual Green Festival, after Greg Palast finished a scorching 40-minute talk on the war in Iraq, the Florida election, and the murder by burial of Tanzanian miners by the Barrick Corporation, which employs former President George H.W. Bush.

Gonzalez is a very good speaker. Both his intelligence and his honesty come across clearly. It's good to see that he's not afraid to call himself and Supervisor Chris Daly "lefties" or "progressives." It's also good to see him tout his fiscal conservatism, which might come as a surprise to many voters. The more I learn about Gonzalez, the more I think he'll make a better mayor than Newsom, and a better city of San Francisco.
