San Francisco -- San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera filed suit Thursday to seek the permanent removal of Ed Jew from the Board of Supervisors, an action that could lead to a relatively quick resolution of the suspended supervisor's fate in city government.
The suit, filed in San Francisco Superior Court, contends that Jew did not live in the district he represents on the board when he filed papers to run for election in 2006 or when he took office in December.
Of the myriad legal problems facing Jew, the suit most directly addresses the question of his residency and could be the first to result in a judgment on that question. If he loses the suit, Jew will no longer be a member of the Board of Supervisors.
"The public interest clearly demands a prompt judicial ruling to settle the question of whether Supervisor Jew met the charter's residency requirements to seek or hold his office," Herrera said.
Herrera's action had been expected since he asked state Attorney General Jerry Brown for permission in June to sue for Jew's removal. Brown gave the go-ahead last month.
The suit is the fourth significant legal case pending against Jew, although one of those - a hearing pending before the city's Ethics Commission on whether he should be thrown off the board - will be moot if Herrera wins his case.

This anti-semitism is getting way out of hand!
Funny, he doesn’t look Jewish.
This is what he gets for not kowtowing in the vote to condemn Savage.
I’ve recently found out that this is all a crock. NONE of the supervisors live in their districts. Mayor Newsom lived in Marin when he was supervisor.
Leftists just don’t like Jews period...
The commiefascists have their long knives out for Ed Jew..........
Hillary would have called him a f***ing Jew bast**d if she didn’t know that he was Asian. Whereupon she asked him for huge campaign contributions.
Woooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Doom is coming and they debate endlessly over where the Chinese guy really lives.
No doubt there's some sort of Nostradmus quatrain covering this one.
Jew is a crook who was trying to shake down, er, sell influence to local businesses. He doesn’t deserve any defense on Free Republic.
That’s the first thing I thought of too.
has this something to do with the department of edjewcation????
No. 5,6606, Book 7:
'When the moon turns to blood
In the midst of a flood
And the visitor is no dud
Tho it's buried in crud
Then those are the times
To find something that rhymes
And found in a ditty
Francis Syko is the city
A boom in the night
To everyone's fright
A terrible sight
Everyone's plight
A Joooo caused a storm
Disturbing the norm
Didn't want to conform
From the skies it will form
And batter the city
Not gonna be pretty
Alas! What a pity
But that's the nitty-gritty.
WHAT are you talking about?????????????
Dang! Dude, you could make some serious $$$ “finding” another one of N-man’s “lost” books!
“Yes, this 5 century old manuscript was at the bottom of a barrel in the corner of the aging room at the Mondavi winery in Napa...”
Never mind the Jew, just get Miguelito Mexican outta here!
That is precisely why he is under attack.
Mr. Jeeves is also correct that he doesn't deserve being defended here. He is just one more corrupt politician an an area full of corrupt politicians.
Nevertheless, it must be terribly frustrating for him, being the only San Francisco politician who is not allowed to pick and choose which laws to obey, and which laws to ignore.
