This writer has a new man crush on the Board of Supervisors and his name is John Avalos. Good citizen and known Ross Mirkarimi lookalike, Supervisor Avalos, volunteered to take additional furlough days before the Thanksgiving holiday to help save the City much needed American dollars. Sexy and civic minded! We like!

The money saved from the six furlough days taken? $4,638. Five other Supervisors, David Campos, David Chiu, Eric Mar, Ross "Boots" Mirkarimi, and Bevan "Sex Tent" Dufty have followed Avalos's fine example. If they took as many furlough days as Avalos did, they may have saved the city upwards of $27,000. That must be like enough to pay at least a quarter of the monthly salary of one of those Muni fare checker agent people who terrorize the local N-Judah riding populace in their never ending search for Fast Passes and transfers. Whatever. It's a solid gesture and a fine example for the rest of the city's higher-ups.

For now, Supervisors Alioto-Pier, Chu, Elsbernd, Maxwell, and Daly have not indicated whether they plan on following suit, though Daly did acknowledge the gesture while at the same time pooh-poohing it on his Facebook page. C'man, Daly, live a little! We know you probably need all the money you can get your hands on to pay the mortgages on all those houses you bought way out in the gay friendly grasslands of Solano County, but surely even you can give back a little to the city you love, no?
