With respect to the now widely-reported story about yesterday’s Board of Supervisors’ refusal to outlaw relationships between city managers and their employees, I have only this to say: When was the last time you had a boss you wanted to date? Either this notion is — like many of the ideas considered by our city’s governing body — strictly theoretical, or the managers of city departments are some kind of special breed of desirable bosses. I mean, I’ve liked a lot of the bosses I’ve had, but…

So many people were paying attention to the vote that they missed Supervisor Jake McGoldrick’s proposal to make enforcement of prostitution laws a “low priority” for police. Robert Anderson, an also-ran for McGoldrick’s District 5 seat in 2000 and 2004 predicted in June of this year that McGoldrick “wants to legalize prostitution” — I had to read Anderson’s screed a couple of times before I realized that Anderson was opposed to the idea — but that’s not what Sup. McG wants. He just wants prostitution to be a low priority, according to KCBS, because its “real victims are prostitutes themselves who fear reporting assaults and other crimes against them.”
