Newsom’s Muni Budget Heist Monday, January 28, 2008 : As the SF Chronicle and Examiner reported on Friday, Mayor Gavin Newsom has taken $725,644 out of the MTA budget to pay the salaries of seven top members of his “new team” – all but one of whom will make over $100,000. If the Mayor can dip into any department budget at any time, why go through a formal budget process every year? The MTA Commission controls the Muni budget, but don’t expect them to complain about this because the Mayor appoints – and can fire – all s...
