Gavin Newsom took an extra week to be sworn in as Lt Governor because he wanted to screw SF progressives first.
Lol I know that you're you, jfern, but what kinda take even is this!? Newsom delayed his resignation by a week so that a Board of Supervisors that'd be wholly composed of newly-elected members could take office & elect his successor, as opposed to the alternative that would've been resigning on time, thus resulting in 4 lame-duck, term-limited Supervisors getting a say in the matter, so are you
trying to claim that Newsom was a bastion of democracy in Jan. 2011's SF compared to anti-lower-case-d-democratic SF-progressives, because that's what your claim pretty inherently admits there.
