Supervisor Ronen revives idea to honor Harvey Milk with SFO name

Former Mayor Willie Brown has a bridge named after him, and now slain Supervisor Harvey Milk might get an airport terminal.

The proposal to put Milk's name on the domestic side of San Francisco International Airport will go before the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday. It's a scaled-back version of a more sweeping plan that former Supervisor David Campos put forward four years ago to name the entire airport after the gay icon.

Campos hit unexpected resistance when he pressed for a charter amendment that would have put the Harvey Milk Airport question to voters. When other politicians bristled, Campos gave up.

Now his protege and former aide, Supervisor Hillary Ronen, is backing the Harvey Milk Terminal measure.

"This is a way to have national impact, especially for queer people living in other parts of the country where you can get kicked out of your home for your sexual orientation," Ronen said.

The ordinance she will introduce Tuesday was recommended by the Airport Facilities Naming Commission, which Campos formed as a compromise after abandoning his original proposal.

Campos surmised that Milk's name stirred controversy among people who thought the airport should be named after somebody else.

"The relationships and history he had with people got in the way," Campos said.

Airport Commission President Larry Mazzola, who opposed the Harvey Milk Airport idea, insisted Monday that the supervisors adhere to the commission's naming policy. It forbids renaming of any terminal, gate or boarding area, but allows such locations to be "dedicated" to people - although sparingly.

Flush with cash? San Francisco is applying for a $625 million loan from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to help offset the costs of a major upgrade to the city's wastewater treatment facilities.

The EPA invited the city to apply for the loan as part of the federal Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act, or Wifia, a program that provides low-cost loans to help local governments improve their municipal water infrastructure.

Twelve projects are eligible for Wifia funding, according to the EPA. Michele Huitric, a spokeswoman for the agency, said the "EPA intends to loan the requested amount to all 12 projects for a total of $2.3 billion," but added that each municipality must still submit an application and negotiate the terms of the loan with the agency.

If approved for the loan, San Francisco's Public Utilities Commission would use the funds to help finance a $1.3 billion renovation of the city's 60-year-old solid wastewater treatment facilities.

The upgrades would allow the city's treatment plants to more effectively capture and treat odors and improve its ability to utilize biogas.

"With the help of the federal government's low-cost loan program, we're going to upgrade our City's sewer infrastructure while realizing significant savings for ratepayers," said Harlan L. Kelly Jr., the PUC's general manager, in a statement.

"We cannot turn back. There are those asking the devotees of civil rights, ‘When will you be satisfied? We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of highways and the hotels of the cities… No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.”

I think should have been nominated for his transforming portrayal of Martin Luther King... Ava DuVernay should have been nominated for her outstanding direction of Selma, and I think David Oyelowo but I'm not in the Academy. The strongest thing I can say in censure is that these omissions are puzzling. Or, maybe not so puzzling considering the makeup of the voting members of the Academy, and how movies are rolled out for award consideration. Remember, this is the organization that gave the golden statue to Ginger Rogers for Kitty Foyle in a year when Bette Davis was nominated for The Letter, Joan Fontaine was nominated for Rebecca, Katharine Hepburn was up for The Philadelphia Story, and Martha Scott for Our Town. Then, as now, the awards generate buzz about the industry. The Oscar broadcast funds the scholarships, archives, and all endeavors that the (non-profit) Academy undertakes to preserve, promote, and educate. So keep the conversation going, it's all good for the movies.
