In that version of the smoked herring verbal diversionary tactic, Brown blamed racism for all of the attention focused on the corrupt chapters in his career. Belva did her "yes-master" performance in coordination with Willie's wails.
Belva DavisDavid Glen Fowler knew Belva Davis, when they both worked at KRON TV 's news desk. Belva currently still works at KRON TV (Chronicle Newspaper) and KQED PBS TV. Fowler was one of several civic activists who were independently investigating the long and ongoing political corruption in San Francisco City and County.

Ratner repeatedly questioned the qualifications of Ryan Brooks, who is a public relations vice president of VIACOM as well as Brooks's qualifications to sit on the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.
Because of Brooks's employment status, there are also questions about the relationship of VIACOM to San Francisco's politicians Ryan Brooks's previous San Francisco employment was as a Willie Brown appointed controversial administrator for several city departments.
Louise Renee, former longtime San Francisco City Attorney, was a longtime controversial City Attorney and career politician. For years, Renne has tried to avoid her official responsibility for overseeing and enforcing all of the clauses in publically awarded and publicly financed contracts. Over her long controversial career, Renne tried to escape her liability by signing off all contracts "as to form!"
But she ignored her responsibility to oversee the performance on all of these contracts and enforce all the clauses in the contracts that went through her office. The City Attorney oversees all contracts and grants of federal and state monies appropriated to San Francisco City and County. That' s why the refrain From the Hetch Hetchy water resource Scandal, PGE-ENRON-MIRANT companies to the HUD Community Development Bloc grants, is"every little breeze wheezes Blame Louise!"

Fitts was the undersecretary for HUD, and is now a whistleblower.

Janice Allen, a housing rights activist, San Francisco Housing Commissioner and civic accountability activist has also raised questions about Belva Davis's relations with San Francisco's corrupt city officials.
* Note as of April 2005: Bill Lee, the ethical Chief Administrative Officer/CAO of San Francisco, provided the contract upon request and without any obstruction. Because Bill Lee is honest, certain politicians are seeking to force him out of his position as CAO.
