The sweet scriubes over at Streetsblog posted a might fine article on how San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, allegedly, "has been quietly pressuring MTA Chief Nat Ford to delay or prevent proposals to extend parking meter hours on weeknights and Sundays, despite a looming mid-year MTA budget deficit and studies that show it's good policy."

Not so, according to SF Examiner, who said that Newsom denied pressuring Ford to stop extending meter hours.

"We balanced a budget with Muni without extending the parking meters from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.,” he declared, adding that Streetsblog was simply creating a "false controversy."

Newsom then accused Streesblog of being wrong, dead wrong. Making himself perfectly clear, Newsom said, "That’s just factually incorrect," he said Friday following a press conference, going on to say, "Though blogs often are."
