MAYOR NEWSOM LIVID OVER ALLEGATION OF BUDGET IMPROPRIETY

One local elected official yesterday offered a straightforward, if head-scratching, explanation why he postures indignation over routine San Francisco budget shifts.
Those shifts to fund City payroll are not right, he said.
Just because line item shifts have always been done within a budget that remains balanced doesn’t mean it’s right, Supervisor Aaron Peskin told Board of Supervisors colleagues Tuesday.
“I am shocked, shocked to find that gambling is
going on in here!”
Peskin directed the remarks toward recent staff reorganization within the Newsom administration.
As Newsom began rolling out his second term, the mayor reallocated $749,242 within City budget to pay salaries for Mayor’s Office staff reassignments and one new hire.
Just as quickly, District 3 Supervisor Peskin disdained both personnel and salaries as “gold-plated political hacks,” and Peskin went public criticizing salaries being drawn from the Muni budget rather than from the Mayor’s Office budget allocation.
Board of Supervisors President Peskin, according to Peskin former legislative aide Wade Crowfoot, manifested most visible disdain at Crowfoot himself.
After a hiatus from Peskin’s office to attend the London School of Economics, Crowfoot joined the Newsom administration in a senior position as the mayor’s liaison to the Board of Supervisors.
When Peskin first learned of Crowfoot’s recent assignment as director of Climate Protection Initiatives — and funding source — Peskin twice threatened Crowfoot with getting Crowfoot fired, Crowfoot publicly alleged Tuesday.
Indeed, Crowfoot two weeks ago asked the City Attorney’s Office to determine illegality of the threats, mayor’s press secretary Nathan Ballard confirmed.
And Newsom yesterday went livid.
“Why is it that he threatened to get rid of — I’m going after you — to his former staffer?” Newsom smiled over gritted teeth.

Newsom took major media coverage to task.
“Ask that staffer. Ask Wade Crowfoot and why don’t you go to the 20 other staff members…” suggested the mayor.
Newsom scored Peskin as a hybrid of insincerities, citing Peskin two-term intimate knowledge of the City budget.
“None of these positions is new… it’s quite alarming… when in fact the Board, individuals on the Board, that have a personal issue… brought up something that in fact they had a chance to dialoque and discourse about, not once, twice, three, five, ten times,” Newsom maintained.
“None of these positions are new FTEs that weren’t approved by the Board of Supervisors.
“It’s about attacking the mayor and it’s about the politics of personality.
“And it’s about a willingness of the media, candidly, to blow things out of proprotion that it looks like there is a story when there is none.”
The San Francisco Chronicle, the San Francisco Examiner, and KGO-TV adhere to a form of journalism cited as balanced by including opposite points of view, frequently the harshest opposite perspective.
Yet coverage often is driven by event immediacy rather than from long-term context.
Newsom pointed to Peskin long-term history.
“The individual that’s responsible for going out of his way to make this an issue not only supported the budget that included these positions but actually forced us to create one of these positions,” recalled Newsom.
“The Board… approved the budgets over and over again.
“There was never a problem.
“They knew exactly who Stuart Sunshine was. They knew exactly what he did. They had no problem.”
The Newsom second term is rooted in closer collaboration by City department heads and staff. Both Sunshine and Crowfoot now share Muni improvement duties.
“He’s (Peskin) a supervisor that claimed to be the author of legislation, Prop A, that was approved by the voters that requires an actual plan to be done by Muni — an environmental plan — so I hired somone of incredible competency, Wade Crowfoot, who has the ability to work with the Public Utilities Commission, the Department of Enviornment, and Muni, to actually develop that plan and to build our environmental legacy in the City.
“Forty percent of that salary comes from Muni, 40% of that salary from the Public Utilities Commission, and 20% from the Department of The Enviornment.
“It’s par for the course of how you govern in the City that you work — and this has been done for decades and the (Peskin) Board has approved it every year — and so in the spirit of Prop A that the same author of the same initiative to lay me out — we actually hire someone, who happens to be his former chief-of-staff.
“So he threatens… but the Charter doesn’t allow (Peskin) to go after him so he’ll try to go after the position.
“And it’s great media circus… what was the word you guys used, ‘raid’ (of Muni budget)?”
The San Francisco Examiner referenced the incident as a “raid.”
“Which is a remarkable adjective to describe something that the (Peskin) Board approved, the positions that everyone has known exist with the exception of the new one that we decided was too important — Wade Crowfoot because of the mandate of Prop A — so I am not only satisified with the team we’ve got but I’m satisified with the way we conducted it.
“I think you guys need to do a little bit of background and research as to where this is coming from and why because that’s the interesting story here.”
The interesting story “is why has the Board approved these positions and now has a problem,” continued the mayor.
“And why it is that a particular supervisor doesn’t like his former staffer, tried to get rid of him, couldn’t get rid of him, now trying to find a convenient way to connect all these dots when that staffer has done a great job and doing a job that the voters prescribed under Prop A — the same initiative that that same supervisor initiated.”
Ballard described the unfolding scenario as retaliation against Newsom for proposing legislation to prevent shake-downs.
“The mayor put some good government ballot initiatives forward a couple of weeks ago that would prevent shake-downs by politicians,” said Ballard.
“A lot of the maneuvering that you’re seeing in the last couple of weeks has been in retaliation for putting those good government ballot initiatives forward.”

Thanks for the recommendations, James. I got into John Grant through reading about his association with Midlake and seeing him support them on their recent UK tour. Given how good The Courage of Others is, it was slightly shocking to realise that theyd gone one better with their collaboration with Grant on Queen of Denmark. Theyre supposed to be recording another album together next year.

Thanks for the suggestions you have discussed here. On top of that, I believe usually there are some factors which really keep your auto insurance premium decrease. One is, to contemplate buying motors that are in the good directory of car insurance providers. Cars that are expensive are more at risk of being lost. Aside from that insurance policies are also good value of your car, so the higher priced it is, then the higher this premium you spend.

After reading 84 of your back-and-forth comments, I think there could be SO much less blaming and rage-filled outbursts – which do not engage the reader in your cause. People actually listen more when everyone isnt screaming and name-calling. Instead, it would be encouraging to hear more constructive suggestions for solutions. Something more constructive and feasible than grabbing ones gun and running out to shoot folks, since, realistically, its not a viable alternative in creating positive change in a supposedly ethical/moral society. Of all the comments, I think Eric has presented the most thought-provoking and unifying comments. Eric seems to be interested in solutions rather than attacking, name-calling, and blaming. I am a moderate, and I also believe that there is blame for all parties. And I dont mean just political parties. I mean, the American people, who lived beyond their means for years, and some who were genuinely duped into thinking they could afford mortgages they couldnt. Americans who have brought up the entitled generation and lowered standards for them to pass to the next level, in whatever part of life that level is. Also corporate greed. There are few Americans who could escape some portion of responsibility in getting our country into its current crisis. Its like Jesus said, Let those who are without guilt, cast the first stone. NO ONE is completely guiltless. If we arent involved in some type of volunteer work to improve the situation of our families, of our neighbors, our communities, and our country, none of us are guiltless. A very bright friend of mine once said Counting stumps doesnt clear the field. In reading so many of these comments, I see lots of stump counting, but no one clearing the field. Are each and every one of you doing EVERYTHING in your ability in your lives to improve your communities, your government, your world? If not, please dont cast stones. Eric seems like hes doing his best to make an intelligent impact on the world and those around him. And you slaughtered him with outrage simply because he doesnt think just like you?

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

An interesting dialogue is worth comment. I feel that it’s best to write extra on this subject, it may not be a taboo subject but generally individuals are not sufficient to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers

When I was growing up, my close friend lived next door to the Hammonds and the bear lived in a large cage/pen in between the two houses. The Hammonds used to bring over Mignon, the elephant, for visits. At that time, the 1970s, Mignon was only about shoulder high, and very nice. When my friend had a graduation party from High School, the Hammonds brought Mignon (but not the bear) over to the delight and surprise of the two hundred teenager guests.

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

October 12th, 2011 at 5:33 AM
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

Fantastic blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally confused .. Any ideas? Thanks!

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
October 12th, 2011 at 4:53 PM
Nice post. I learn something tougher on totally different blogs everyday. It’ll always be stimulating to read content from different writers and apply slightly one thing from their store. I’d want to use some with the content on my weblog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll provide you with a link on your internet blog. Thanks for sharing.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
