I met Gavin Newson when I lived in San Francisco and he is certainly appealing on a personal level. He seemed moderately level-headed and was responsible for the "care not cash" proposal to provided services to the homeless instead of just cash grants. In the context of San Francisco politics, he was a "moderate". We all thought he had a future in national politics. However, with this act of political suicide, that possibility has evaporated. The only thing that can explain this is blackmail of some kind.

Smoking in the basement at City Hall?
Spitting on the sidewalk?
Jaywalking?
Eating a greasy hamburger?

Voting Republican? Don't know what else it could possibly be. Everything else is 'legal' in Sanarchy Francisco.

I'm sure the issue will soon be behind him.
