Ed Jew pleaded guilty Tuesday to one count of perjury for lying about where he lived when he ran for San Francisco supervisor in 2006.
Eight other charges of violating the elections code violations and committing voter fraud were dropped. When Jew took out papers to run for the District 4 seat, he claimed to live in the sunset neighborhood when he in fact lived in Burlingame.
City law requires the supervisors to live in the district they represent.
He resigned from the Board of Supervisors at the beginning of the year.
In a separate federal case, Jew pleaded guilty last month to charges of extortion, mail fraud and soliciting a $40,000 bribe from the owners of several tapioca drink shops in return for help obtaining city permits.
Sentencing in that case is scheduled for Feb. 13.
Who are you calling a Jew?

Herb Caen lied?
