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 on, ew.)
The vote was 10-1 opposed, with only Daly voting for his own proposal. The message we take away from this? Only Chris Daly is faithful to his wife. Better keep a short leash on Jake, Mrs. McGoldrick! (Especially since one of the other proposals on the table at yesterday's Board of Supes meeting was Supervisor McGoldrick's suggestion that prostitution be classified as a low-priority crime in SF.)
We can debate whether or not it's appropriate to have policies regulating private lives in place at the office, but Daly's proposal was viewed by pretty much everyone as mostly a dig at our triumphant second-term mayor Gavin Newsom, who, as you may recall, got busted sleeping with his former Appointments Secretary Ruby Rippey-Tourk earlier this year. Maybe Daly should just have proposed something prohibiting people in city government from sleeping with their best friends' wives. If you're going to call Gavin out, Chris, you should just !
