SF Mayor Releases State of the City Via Youtube, All 7 Hours!

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom is taking to the internet to deliver his version of the state of the city. It won't be a concise 30 minute speech, or a detailed one hour speech. Try seven and half hours, on 10 videos posted on youtube. The Youtube postings offers "the opportunity to delve into issues in much greater specificity and detail," said Newsom on his Youtube Channel. "The opportunity for you to spent one minute with me, one hour.. as much as five or six hours if your choose." The first round, unveiled Monday, focuses on health, education and the environment.
