Thanks for this kristinn. I think there’s another story here about “Treasure Island” in that Pelosi is thoroughly ticked off at the press for the questions about the NYC issues when she has been working long and hard over many a year to scam the City of San Francisco out of that “Treasure Island” property for personal gain.
I can’t recall the entire story right now, but I’m certain other FReepers could fill in the blanks I’m leaving here.
