This week, the City Insider spotted an almost empty case of bottled water in the back of Mayor Gavin Newsom's hybrid sport utility vehicle as it was parked in front of City Hall. At least one full bottle of Crystal Geyser Alpine Spring Water remained under the plastic covering.
This from the mayor who in June 2007 issued an executive order directing city government to no longer purchase bottled water, saying the containers clog landfills while the city owns a pristine reservoir in the Sierra Nevada that produces some of the country's best-rated tap water.
Newsom, a former restaurateur, last year called on the restaurant industry to stop selling bottled water to customers and start serving local tap water instead.
Because of that, the mayor generally declines bottled water at any event or meeting, lest he be photographed with an offending bottle.

Dog bites man.
The a**hole just makes rules for the little people.
Newsom to SF: DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO! I am smarter than any of you. LOL
I wonder if he will be treated at the little people’s hospital under the new health care system if he becomes ill.
At first I thought the mayor was having a little nip during work. I forgot SF criminalized bottled water.
Mayor Newsome drinking problem.
Looks like any-twosome Newsome got caught being a leftist!
