| Ed Jew, SF District 4 Supervisor, has been "suspended" by the Mayor and City Attorney Dennis Herrera today, putting him one step closer to irrelevance. Interestingly, the Mayor stuck close to home when picking a successor, and plucked Carmen Chu from his budget office. Many were expecting Newsom to appoint Doug Chan, his pick in the District 4 elections last year. But, well, "Many", you were wrong! Hah! Rubes! (The fact that I thought it was going to be Chan myself as late as yesterday are merely coincidental. I, of course, am no rube. There, it's on the internet, so it's Permanent!)
Anyway, I'm trying to get some more information on Ms. Chu. Local women's groups had been applying pressure to the mayor to appoint a woman, and they seem to have been successful, at least on that score.
One more interesting quote from the article:
Chu has an address on Ulloa Street in the Sunset, the mayor's office said.
Local Blog-gadfly "marc" at leftinsf reports that Ms. Chu has voted exactly once in San Francisco. Interesting pick so far. If you have more info on her, leave it in the comments or shoot me an email.
UPDATE: Here's this the press conference announcement (w/video). |
