It is interesting this isn't included in the wall description (though there is a video www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpkocJ5kbEY ):
Then-Mayor Dianne Feinstein directed the Arts Commission, which had commissioned the piece and paid Arneson half of the $37,000 fee, to reject it unless he agreed to change the pedestal.
In 2000, now-Sen. Feinstein told Chronicle staff writer Mike Weiss that because of the pain and polarization in the city after the Jonestown massacre, the assassinations and the White Night riots, "I did not feel it was appropriate public art at the time. And I felt and feel very strongly about Gina (Moscone) and the family and what they had gone through."
Arneson, who was known for his irreverence and comic bite and obviously wasn't going to cast a heroic bronze, refused to alter the piece and returned the fee. San Francisco art dealer Foster Goldstrom snapped up the sculpture for $50,000.

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom dedicated the the $6.1 million Valencia Street Great Streets Project and unveiled the final draft of the Better Streets Plan.
The Better Streets Plan
www.sf-planning.org/ftp/BetterStreets/proposals.htm
www.sfmayor.org/press-room/press-releases/press-release-m...
www.livablecity.org/campaigns/completestreets.html
Valencia Streetscape project "included the replacement and addition of 76,000 square feet of sidewalk and the installation of pedestrian bulbouts to provide traffic calming, facilitate street crossing and add space for gathering.
Additional improvements included the planting of 106 Brisbane Box and London Plane trees along the sidewalks, new trash receptacles, 69 bike racks, 32 wheel chair accessible curb ramps, 26 roadway scale lights and 46 pedestrian scale lights.
Four Victorian-themed street posts, uniquely designed for Valencia Street and through the San Francisco Arts Commission, were also installed at particular locations. Public art called Valencia Street Post was installed by artist Michael Arcega."

There are four public posts (3 are on Valencia near 16th & the 4th is in front of Mission Bikes near 19th)

I saw this poster torn twice on Cortland in Bernal
www.flickr.com/photos/ari/6323097931/
before seeing this full version on a pole at Cortland and Moultrie
It quotes this 1999 Matier & Ross column
articles.sfgate.com/1999-11-22/news/17706197_1_yee-stops-...
Large image (though it just quotes the column)
www.flickr.com/photos/ari/6323631284/sizes/o/
There is no info identifying who is behind it
Around the time of the column, there was a draft Leland Yee for mayor group (you can see the filing
by searching for Yee at nf4.netfile.com/pub2/?aid=sfo They spent much less money than Run Ed Run)
www.sfexaminer.com/local/2011/08/run-yee-run-candidate-dr...
The allegations were also raised in a July SF Weekly cover story by Matt Smith (who is now writing for the Bay Citizien), but I haven't seen them brought up since then except in comments on SF mayor stories
www.sfweekly.com/2011-07-20/news/leland-yee-record-mayor-...
I'm a bit surprised it was posted in Bernal where I haven't seen much support for Yee, but I'm not sure what other neighborhoods it was put up in
