San Francisco -- San Francisco Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin made a series of harassing telephone calls to officials at the Port of San Francisco and threatened to eliminate their jobs and cut funding to the agency because staff members disagreed with him over building-height limits on the city's waterfront, the port director said in a letter obtained by The Chronicle.
In a letter sent to the city Department of Human Resources and Mayor Gavin Newsom's office, Port Executive Director Monique Moyer said that in August, Peskin threatened the jobs of port staff members in four telephone conversations, which she described as "outlandish harassment."

City Hall sources said Wednesday that the city attorney's office and the Department of Human Resources are investigating the allegations.
Peskin denied that he violated city law. . . .

Rhetorical question only - I know perfectly well why such human dregs are attracted to government positions...

Yeah, he was the one pulling down the boards at the top of the fence to build the bonfire around the stake that he had tied Ed Jew to.
That's soooooo gay you know!
