London Breed: next District 5 supervisor?
Long-time local London Breed has worked with community groups and city agencies for years, and she has now thrown her hat in the ring for the November race for District 5 supervisor. We spent some time discussing her candidacy over lunch at the Fillmore St. Cafe.

After a lifetime of growing up in public housing, Breed was able to experience firsthand the kind of environments offered to marginalized and under-employed citizens, and it was here that she found inspiration. She said her biggest motivator for becoming a public servant is the idea that a government should learn to provide opportunities instead of handouts.

Fillmore native Moneta White co-owner of 1300 Restaurant receives 3 million dollars in loans since 2005 from The Redevelopment Agency and appointed to the Small Business Commission - Article “Three New Small Business Commissioners Appointed”

The San Francisco’s Small Business Commission (SBC) — which is governed by seven politically-appointed commissioners who oversee the Office of Small Business, which is responsible for promoting and retaining small enterprises in the City, with a roughly $600,000 annual budget — had three vacancies at the start of this year. The mayor, who fills four of the slots, named an appointee at the end of January. After soliciting applications, the Board of Supervisors, which appoints a total of three positions, selected Monetta White and William Ortiz-Cartagena last month to fill the two remaining slots.
District 10 Supervisor Malia Cohen advocated for White, who co-owns the gourmet southern-inspired food spot 1300 on Fillmore on that street’s jazz district. Ortiz-Cartagena owns Gentle Parking, located in Visitacion Valley. The new appointees will serve until 2016, so long as they remain an “owner, operator, or officer of a San Francisco small business” throughout their four-year term. White and Ortiz-Cartagena succeed commissioners Janet Clyde, of North Beach’s Vesuvio, and Michael O’Connor, who owns a commercial real estate finance company.
White runs her eatery with her husband, Chef David Lawrence. She’d previously served on the Fillmore Community Business District’s executive board. Cohen said that she’d worked with White on that neighborhood’s business issues. 1300 on Fillmore received a $1.7 million loan from the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (SFRA) in 2005; a second $350,000 loan in 2007; a third loan of $852,000 in May of 2008; and, after requesting an additional $1 million in October 2008, received a fourth Redevelopment Agency loan for $100,000, bringing the total lent to 1300 on Fillmore from the Redevelopment Agency to more than $3 million. In the wake of SFRA’s closure, the View was unable to determine how much of the loans have been repaid.
