Dufty, Maxwell & Newsom to quit?

(Bulldog predicts huge shakeup)

(2-19-10)

OK, walking along Fisherman’s Wharf today thinking of the permutations possible should
Newsom win the Lt. Governor’s race (which he will) and came up with this. Tell me
it ain’t nifty.

Dufty and Sophie Maxwell resign on March 1st at 10am

Newsom appoints Rebecca Prozan and Lynette Sweet

Newsom resigns March 10th to run for Lt. Governor’s

This is just a mind fuck now gamers so don’t get all excited. But think about it.
Dufty can’t vote for himself for Mayor as a supervisor but Prozan certainly can and
Prozan and Sweet get the benefit of running as incumbents. Maxwell could certainly
get another 6 figure job out of it and Dufty’s only giving up a few months and being
replaced by an ideological twin.

Newsom gets to go all in on the Lt. Gov race without getting accused of deserting the
City. The only hitch (and it’s a biggie) is that it could hand Peskin Room 200
cause although there are 6 avowed Progressives on the Board they can’t vote for
themselves so they’d have to go for someone like Peskin. However, …

I keep remembering David Campos voting for Dufty over Daly for head of the
Transportation Authority and I’m wondering if he’d choose Dufty over Peskin for Mayor.
Or if Chiu would swing to Dufty in return for appointment as D.A. Should Kamala win
the State Attorney General’s office. He donated a total of around $2,000 to Harris’
various races.

OK, pick it apart.

Side note: Joshua Arce and the POA both like Mark Farrell in the D-2 race. Arce
passed on $200 from his Brightline Defense corporation (which has refused to file a
mandated 990 form to show who supports them – he has a member of Fiona Ma’s staff on his
Board of Directors) … So, Arce is rubbing shoulders with the dark side (also,
David Fix who is a past head of the tenant hating Small Property Owners Association
tossed in a Ben Franklin). I’d like to hear a comment on that from a certain
articulate Green Party member.

Go Giants!
