News & Booze Saturday Edition: What Does it Take to Get Somebody Fired at City Hall?
Okay, so I'm going to give away the end. We were talking about how Rec and Parks Department Director Yomi Agunbiade had survived financial scandals in his department, and survived a freakin' tiger escaping from the zoo and killing someone after the walls were built too low...but a sexual harassment accusation? That takes him down.
Then Joe Eskenazi, who seems to get the best line in every week, asked Sweet Melissa: "What do you think Gavin Newsom has to tell someone about an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate? 'Did you pay her $16,000? No? Well, that's your problem!'"
And we lost it. Just...lost it.
We're also talking about whether the prostitution measure on the November ballot won't pass, and why it seems like nobody ever gets fired at city hall ... unless they do that thing that the mayor did.
All that, plus a special message from the Gavin Newsom for Governor Campaign.

For accuracy's sake, my quip should have been about $10,000, because that's the amount Ruby Rippey-Tourk got, not $16k.
C'est la vie,
