How S.F. may, uh, honor 'W': Measure would rename city's sewage plant By Paul Rogers Mercury News Article Launched: 11/01/2008 11:10:00 PM PDT Lincoln has a tunnel. Washington a monument. Even Hoover has a dam. What about George W. Bush? In San Francisco, "W" may soon stand for "wastewater." On Tuesday, voters will consider commemorating the 43rd president's legacy in a less than exalted way: renaming the city's Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant as the George W. Bush Sewage Plant. In a city where only 9 percent of voters are registered Republicans, organizers of the tongue-in-cheek idea had little trouble gathering 12,000 signatures to put Proposition R on the ballot. "People were lining up to sign it," said Brian McConnell, a phone systems designer who hatched the idea last year in a Mission District bar with friends. "One way to look at a sewage plant is in terms of its contents — what we got stuck with — the Iraq war, a $10 trillion debt and a huge mess that needs to be cleaned up." mercurynews.com
