In an article entitled ” How Gavin Newsom keeps getting ahead of the pack,” reporter Cathleen Decker maintains that: ” Yes, the group loves Newsom, in large part because as mayor he pushed and signed into existence universal healthcare for city residents.”

This is untrue. San Francisco activist Larry Bush (of Friends of Ethics)  writes on Facebook that:

“Someone needs to tell CNA that Newsom is NOT the author of SF’s health program, but tried to water it down. It was Tom AMMIANO’s legislation. Perhaps CNA should endorse Tom for Governor!”

In this revealing video, Gavin Newsom swears in City Administrator Ed Lee for “five more years.”

Note how Gavin stresses “five more years” over and over and over and over….

And mistakes Eric Mar for Ed Lee.

And says Ed could be suitable for any position.

And stresses how Democrats mostly agree. True: perversion of democratic processes, handouts to plutocrats, neoliberal policies (including regressive taxation), crony appointments and nepotism and lying straight faced to the public!

A precursor to the setup to come.

Sadly there is not one decent likely candidate. 🙁

Has his office flooding brought the need to cover the cost of hundreds of millions of infrastructure repairs (as referenced in the article)  to State properties to Gavin Newsom’s attention?

Sigh…..

We searched for a San Francisco Examiner today on the stands, but they are having circulation problems, so we had to find a great article about the campaign contributions of nefarious plutocrat Ron Conway by Mr. Sabatini online. And we were struck by this reference to Gavin Newsom’s cuckold Alex Tourk:

“Conway’s Conway’s representative, Alex Tourk, a lobbyist, confirmed to the Examiner that his contribution paid for a poll related to the District 3 race.representative, Alex Tourk, a lobbyist, confirmed to the Examiner that his contribution paid for a poll related to the District 3 race.”

Tourk continues to live up to his reputation!

This is a really great example of bad decisionmaking by plutocrats and their sinecures.

Daniela Kirschenbaum pens a very informative piece here for the Fog City Journal.

Here we see the influence of the Gettys on our next governor.

“Among Newsom’s partners behind Odette Estate, the most notable is Gordon Getty, the well-known American businessman, investor and philanthropist.”

Having raised this money, who is Newsom now beholden to?

Gavin Newsom’s Plumpjack Group, financed by the Getty family, Gavin Newsom Works to Gentrify Mid-Market! in the increasingly gentrified mid-Market Street area.

One more way to push out the poor for the benefit of the wealthy! 🙁

Another coup for Joe Eskenazi here with this great interview!
