He got himself elected lieutenant governor in November. Then he decided he\u2019d postpone his swearing-in so he could appoint his own replacement.

I penned an op ed in my <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20150313165637\/http:\/\/open.salon.com\/blog\/avimecca\">blog<\/a> and in the <em>Bay Area Reporter<\/em>, set up a Facebook page and even dragged my tired butt to City Hall for public testimony to talk to our eleven elected representatives on the Board. I wasn\u2019t the only one.<\/p>\n<p>Though we had disagreements about who should be in room 200, those of us who went to those meetings were in agreement that the Board needed to talk about it all openly and not engage in secret back room deals and discussions.<\/p>\n<p>It was to no avail. Supervisor Bevan Dufty was no doubt reading Machiavelli (in preparation for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/2557\/ed-lee-nomination-out-with-the-old-and-in-with-the-old\/\">his last-minute deceptions<\/a>), and Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier preparing the wine list for that new restaurant in Pacific Whites. If they heard at all, the supervisors didn\u2019t comment on our testimony. They postponed discussing the matter week after week, ignoring the nagging voice on the extreme left side of the room that kept pushing for an \u201copen community process.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/images\/photos2011\/bos_school_board_kim_banquet_20110107\/_w2w8775_std.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Supervsior Bevan Dufty and Newsom Chief of Staff Steve Kawa embrace at last eve&#39;s banquet honorong Supervisor-elect Jane Kim.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Sorry, Supervisor Chris Daly, I\u2019m not sure we\u2019re capable of an \u201copen community process,\u201d even here in San Francisco.<\/p>\n<p>Ours is a broken system where money can often buy any office you want, where elected officials are more accountable to those who fill their election coffers than those who elect them, and where invisible hands pull strings behind closed doors but those hands don\u2019t belong to benevolent wizards.<\/p>\n<p>Tell Dorothy and Toto never to land here.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not that City Administrator Ed Lee is a bad man. He has a past record of helping the little guy, including tenants in public housing. And his appointment is a first for Asian Americans. Maybe Ed Lee will be a fine caretaker mayor. But in the final analysis, it\u2019s not about Ed Lee. It\u2019s about how rotten things are in Denmark by the bay.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/images\/photos\/waverly_place_060201\/mw2w4327_std.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"264\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Interim mayor-elect Ed Lee.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Do the Gav, Willie and Rose now get to chose when San Francisco will have its first out queer mayor?
