Peskin legislation retroactive to May 1, 2005?
Logged on to SGTV to listen to today's BoS meeting, but was too late... Then I got an email from reader Shawn...
Watching the SFGT Board Of Supervisors coverage…May 1, 2005 is better than 1999, but why not May 1, 2006? What about the last twelve months? How are those TIC owners any less affected than the ones from the six years prior?
Proposed amendment to the TIC legislation: make retroactive to May 1, 2005 instead of January 1, 1999.
Ties on first vote, 5-5. Much debate. “Some of this language is new to us; we haven’t seen before today’s meeting,” says Dufty.
Debate ends with Chris Daly asking the Mayor’s Liaison: “Will you support if we amend?” Yes, Newsom would support.
Re-vote: 7-3. Amendment passes. Dissent is Ma, Alioto-Pier, Elsbernd.
After amendment passes, immediate vote on full legislation.
Passes 8-2. Dissent is Ma, Alioto-Pier.
Glad to see an amendment, but still disappointed.
Thanks a million, Shawn. I just couldn't get back to my computer in time today to listen!

so- to clarify- the ruling that passed was for buildings that had evictions after may 2005?- thanks for your response!
Based on what Shawn emailed, that would be my assumption. I will await further (official) details, and will comment at that time.
