Scooplet: Two members of the Bd. of Supes are about to lose their seats. ... The Mayor plans to appoint them to high office. That will allow The Gav to appoint two new, seemingly more amenable, members to the board, solidifying the mayor's strength and weakening Aaron Peskin's grip on the group.

Scooplet: Two members of the Bd. of Supes are about to lose their seats. ... The Mayor plans to appoint them to high office. That will allow The Gav to appoint two new, seemingly more amenable, members to the board, solidifying the mayor's strength and weakening Aaron Peskin's grip on the group.
The deal is set to send Tony Hall to Treasure Island as director of the island kingdom. It's supposed to be announced Wednesday. ... And Sophie Maxwell is set to become City Treasurer. I don't quite understand how Sophie's experience as a Muni electrician qualifies her for the money management job, but I guess her experience as a go-along-to-get-along pol makes up for any financial shortcomings. ... Tony Hall's main man, the estimable Frank Gallagher (formerly a columnist for this newspaper) called over the weekend to respond to the rumors flying around. Gallagher said the whole thing began when The Gav told Tony at a civic lunch June 22 how impressed he was with Tony's work getting Harding Park in shape, and that the mayor wanted Hall to tee off on T.I. next. As of Sunday, they hadn't settled on a "compensation package" for Hall.
So where does this leave T.I.'s current boss, Annemarie Conroy? Well, she goes over to the Emergency Services job held lately by Alex Fagan and Daniel Sullivan. This is a big gig ... all the homeland security money for S.F. runs through this office. ... Word is that Chris Cunnie, former boss of the Police Officers' Association, will become her deputy. And I expect Frank Gallagher will similarly join Tony on the beach. ... Who takes the supes' seats? Think mayoral advisor Mike Farrah for Tony's chair ... and Kimiko Burton for Maxwell's. ... There are many deals within the deals here. And here is where you read it first. Of course, now that it's out in the open, it could all go sideways. ...
'Grats and a welcome: Born Sunday at 4 a.m., a seven-pound, 20-inch boy, to Yuki and Adriel Hampton. Adriel is The Examiner's ace political editor. The lad was a surprise. Mom and Dad had expected a daughter and had chosen a name. So much for the accuracy of sonograms. Now it's back to the baby name books. The babe -- no name yet -- is their first. ...

District 10 is the most important real estate to developers and the city and state politicos know it. Take from the poor and give to the rich. This speaks to intent and goals of San Francisco power elite. Robin Hood is at City Hall with a clearly defined policy run the poor and low income out of the Golden Gate, keep the un electable or the re callable in power.
Today at about 12:45 p.m., recall petitions with some 5,000 signatures of registered voters in District 10, the southeast sector of San Francisco, were submitted for certification to the Department of Elections. The people of District 10 want to choose a new Supervisor Nov. 2.
Now we learn from P.J. Corkery in the Examiner this morning that Mayor Newsom may be planning to take that choice away from the voters. The mayor, Corkery reports, wants to make current District 10 Supervisor Sophie Maxwell San Francisco’s new treasurer and appoint Kimiko Burton to replace her as the representative of District 10.
Corkery concludes, though, that “now that it’s out in the open, it could all go sideways.”
All the District 10 citizens we’ve heard from call on the mayor to hold his fire. Wait ‘til Nov. 2, just over 100 days, until the people can make their own choice.
Usurping the right of District 10 voters to choose our own representative is a plan that needs to “go sideways,” right out the door.
