Northern California Laborers� Official Appointed to SFPUC
Prior to being sworn in as lieutenant governor, Mayor Gavin Newsom earlier this month nominated Vince Courtney of the Northern California District Council of Laborers to serve on the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.
�As the SFPUC continues its work to seismically rebuild our water and wastewater systems and deliver renewable power to San Francisco, Vince Courtney�s valuable experience in workforce training, the building and construction trades and labor negotiations will be tremendous assets to our regional public utility,� says Mayor Newsom. �He is widely respected by business, labor and the community alike and I know he will boost the agency�s leading efforts to expand local hiring by city contractors and deliver reliable water, wastewater and renewable power service. I�m proud to nominate him to serve on the SFPUC and grateful for his willingness to serve the utility�s 2.5 million Bay Area customers.�
