Monica Lewinsky's interest level in working for SF city government just went up a notch, as the SF Board of Supes overwhelmingly voted down Chris Daly's proposal to ban office affairs between supervisors and supervisees. (No, not affairs with supervisors like Chris Daly is a supervisor, affairs with supervisors like your boss. We could probably get a proposition on the ballot barring affairs between the San Francisco Supervisors and their constituents, though -- because, come......

Just what San Francisco really needs – renovated horse stables in Golden Gate Park! That's right. Proposition G, if passed, would raise $750,000 towards revitalizing the existing dilapidated stables. Proponents of the prop claim that this is all for the youth of San Francisco. Well, they must be thinking about little Spencer and Avery of St. Francis Wood, cuz we're pretty sure that the kids who go to John Muir Elementary in Western Addition......

Ques-tion TIME! Ques-tion TIME! Gavin Newsom sees your "immature" comment and raises, Board of Supervisors! Now the mayor's announced that his first non-Question Time "community panel" will be in Jake McGoldrick's District 1 on Saturday Jan. 13, at 10 a.m. at the Richmond Recreation Center, 251 18th Ave. Save the date! (oh, don't worry about writing it down -- we'll be reminding you.) The problem is, though, Newsom didn't bother to check with Supervisor......

You've gotta admire SFCityscape's Steve Boland for putting his money where his Muni-griping mouth is. While lesser sites (like SFist, we freely admit) are content just to bitch and moan about Muni, SF Cityscape wants to buy you a drink at Trad'r Sam. First, come out for the Richmond Town Hall Meeting with Mayor Newsom and Supervisor McGoldrick, this Saturday, July 29 from noon to 2 at Presidio Middle School (450 30th Ave between Geary......

The best roommate we ever had had a surefire (ha) way to summon a malingering Muni -- all he'd do was light a fresh cigarette and, like magic, the tardiest of busses would appear. Since then, our former roommate has quit smoking, and now Muni has, too, as yesterday the Board of Supervisors approved legislation banning smoking at all public transit stops in the City. Introduced by Fiona Ma (who knew she was still......

Oh, how to choose, how to choose. There are simply so many Movements in this town that it's only to be expected that some would utterly fail to have any impact whatsoever on our lives, other than giving us something to bitch about. For example, there was all that chatter a few months ago about banning pit bulls. And that citywide gun ban thingy that is probably, um, well, just a wee bit unconsitutional.......

This shhhhh really is bananas! Just like Gwen Stefani, Supervisor Chris Daly stuck it to the student teachers (stomp stomp), getting ev'ryone riled up (stomp stomp). He ain't no hollaback supe -- he ain't no hollaback supe!
So what's the hollering about? What's it always about? MUNI! So Daly, who's been on the forefront of protesting the MUNI fare hikes, made a routine motion to put off discussing the rollback in the parking fees so it could be discussed at the same time as the other MUNI budget objections he and the transit advocates wanted to make. Supervisor McGoldrick then said he wouldn't vote for the motion. "Are you kidding me?," our peroxide-blonde cheerleader ska-punk-pop princess said. Sandoval then said he wouldn't either. Response? "F*** that!"
Bring it, Chris!
Chanting, gavel-banging, and the cops get called, after the jump. Yeah!...

It's been an action-packed week for the Bay Area movie world, hasn't it? Last Tuesday saw the triumph of all that was right in the world...HA! OK, not really. But it did see success in three battles when it came to Bay Area cinema. First was the failure of Proposition L. If you don't recall SFist Jon's deft description of this prop: ...some guy named Greg Stephens, who calls himself a big player in the......

Update and Clarifications: Thanks to Jerry Threet, legislative assistant to Supervisor McGoldrick, for his great follow-up! He noted that the primary sponsor of the ordinance to create a CU process (as described below) is Supervisor Peskin with McGoldrick as cosponsor. We apologize to Supervisor Peskin for failing to give him appropriate credit. In addition, Mr. Threet let us know that the permanent ordinance passed the board on first reading today by 10-1 with Supervisor Ma......
