Dianne Feinstein tells me to drop dead
One of the issues that's big in Silicon Valley is the 49ers planned move to Santa Clara (they would be about 15 minutes from my house). Sen. Dianne Feinstein has been negotiating to keep them in San Francisco. Many people, including myself, wondered why a senator who represents the ENTIRE state would intervene on behalf of one city over another. I wrote her an email to that effect (which unfortunately I didn't save) basically asking her why she's spending her time on this when in fact the move would benefit many of her constituents (including myself) and shouldn't she be spending her time working on behalf of all the citizens and not favoring one group over another?
So here is her response:
Thank you for writing to me about my involvement in the
matter of the 49ers leaving San Francisco. I appreciate the
opportunity to respond.
I have read your letter and first would like you to know that
I spend virtually all of my time on matters concerning California
and our nation. However, I am also a 49ers fan and was Mayor of
San Francisco for nine years, during which I negotiated with the
organization on several matters. I would very much like to see
them remain in the City of San Francisco.
Again, thank you for writing. Should you have any
additional concerns or comments, I hope that you will contact me
again. You can always reach my Washington, DC staff at (202) 224-3841.
Sincerely yours,
Dianne Feinstein
United States Senator
