Tourk resolved both to confront the mayor and quit his job as campaign manager. But Tourk still needed an income to pay the mortgage and support the couple's 2-year-old son. He had a sit-down with Steven Kay, a prominent San Francisco attorney, and laid out his problem.
When Newsom returned from Davos, Kay went to City Hall and worked out a settlement: Tourk would resign as campaign manager, but continue to be paid his salary out of Newsom's re-election funds until he could find another job.
That ought to excite potential donors.
