Anthony Hall (born 1942) was a candidate for Mayor of San Francisco and a member (2000–2004) of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. He resigned in 2004 to accept appointment as executive director of the Treasure Island Development Authority, a post he held for only 14 months. He was known as the lone conservative on the Board of Supervisors, and surprised the other board members when he supported Matt Gonzalez's successful bid for president of the board. Hall later filed papers for running against the incumbent Newsom in the 2007 mayoral election, but dropped out before the election, citing Newsom's entrenchment. He is also a former Executive Assistant to the Presiding Judge of the San Francisco Superior Court. ==Public service== In 2000, Hall was elected to represent District 7 on the San Francisco the Board of Supervisors. The San Francisco Chronicle said of Hall at the time: “Hall's politics are old-school San Francisco, and he plans to keep it that way.” The Chronicle described Hall as “focused on neighborhoods the same way that supervisors were in the late 1970s during the city's first attempt at district elections.” He was praised unanimously in a resolution by his colleagues calling Hall “a dedicated legislator serving with integrity, intelligence, and a willingness to work with all parties for the common good of the City.”〔 As a Supervisor, Hall was involved in the following issues: * he led the restoration/renovation of the Harding Park Golf Course, resulting in the acquisition of annual PGA tournaments, which have provided the City with millions in revenue. * he introduced and passed legislation for the re-build of Laguna Honda Home for the aged.〔 * he spearheaded the reconstruction of the Ocean Avenue commercial district.〔 * he led the renewal and reconstruction of the City’s Youth Guidance Center.〔 * he worked with state and local agencies and private entities to solve the Lake Merced water loss/level problem.〔 * he led the restoration and beautification of the City’s Great Highway and the adjoining Ocean Beach.〔 * he preserved and initiated maintenance for parks and open spaces, including the building of sports fields, and incorporated after-school recreational and educational programs for youth.〔 * he implemented programs within his district to calm traffic in conjunction with street beautification projects.〔 * his “Blueprint for Homeless Reform Policy”, introduced in 2001, was the product of a 15-year personal study which encompassed a 7-point package of ordinances and resolutions which established quality of life and civility laws and mandated policy changes within the homeless industry. Hall directly questioned the efficacy of then-Supervisor Gavin Newsom’s “Care-Not-Cash” initiative. * he implemented the Safely Surrendered Baby Law (Senate Bill 1368) for San Francisco and passed the Safe Haven for Newborns legislation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tony Hall (supervisor)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
