AEGiS-SC: Agnos updates his agenda at 2-year mark (1142 words) |
 | In his address to the Board of Supervisors, Agnos generally gave a glowing portrayal of his 2-year-old administration, casting himself as a chief executive in firm control and on the verge of embarking on an array of important projects. |
| Agnos revealed plans to open his first "mayor's station" in the Oceanview/Merced/Ingleside district, promised to have the police Office of Citizen Complaints report directly to the Police Commission and campaigned for three November ballot measures deemed critical for his own political success. |
| Agnos said in his speech that he would even consider suing Burroughs Wellcome if his AIDS task force recommended such action, but he softened his statement while speaking to reporters after the state-of-the-city address. |
| 'A gentleman in every detail' (567 words) |
| Agnos, 68, a former assistant Phoenix police chief, had a head wound consistent with a gunshot blast, Arpaio said. |
| Agnos had remained out of the spotlight since losing his job amid criticism that the Sheriff's Office, under his leadership, had botched the investigation into a 1991 mass slaying at a Buddhist temple in the far West Valley. |
| Agnos served one term as sheriff, from 1989 to 1993, claiming success in streamlining management, improving training, easing jail crowding and boosting staff morale. |
