Dear Member
of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors:
I wish to
thank each of you for your kind attention for the past 8 months in which I have
advocated for Jonathan Vernick’s dismissal as the executive director of Baker
Places. As you know from the numerous emails, documents and direct meetings I
have had with your aides, Vernick has abused both clients and employees for
nearly 30 years and the taxpayers of San Francisco are supporting his abuse at
nearly $12 million per year. Recently, I have dealt with Barbara Garcia, the director
of the Department of Public Health (DPH) and she has lied twice about
making a public announcement concerning Vernick; moreover, Tom Mesa, a
representative of DPH, on April 7, 2016 informed me in front of 3 witnesses
that Vernick is a bully towards his employees and has mismanaged the public’s
money. Yet, Garcia continues to support his abuse—even after I requested an
email from her office indicating she would monitor Vernick; instead, she
remained silent. Since SILENCE=DEATH, I am duty-bound to speak up for the
potentially 1000s of victims of Jonathan Vernick since no one else will.
There is a Baker
Places Board of Directors meeting scheduled June 8, 2016 in which I will be
demanding Vernick’s immediate resignation. Since
each of you as a Supervisor have the power to defund Baker, I respectful
request that you contact Nick Lederer, the Chair of the Baker Board, at
415-752-6444 or 415-561-5200 or email him at nick@ggsenior.org
and demand that the board dismiss its executive director.
Because this
case involves the abuse of human beings, I take this quite seriously. It will
be a matter of historical record how you and others respond at this time. I
urge you to open your heart to the pain of the abuse so many have suffered at
the hands of Jonathan Vernick. Please do not just do a political calculation
and see what is best for your future ambitions. Thank you for your kind
assistance. My email is safeway7354@gmail.com if I can provide additional information.
Sincerely
Yours,
Harry
Petersen
