By Luke Thomas<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

March 14, 2012<\/p>\n

Though Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi has admitted guilt to one misdemeanor count of false imprisonment<\/a> stemming from an alleged domestic violence incident involving his wife on New Year\u2019s Eve, the push to remove him from office is likely to fall flat.<\/p>\n

Per the definition of official misconduct under the city charter, \u201cOfficial misconduct means any wrongful behavior by a public officer in relation to the duties of his or her office<\/em>, willful in its character, including any failure, refusal or neglect of an officer to perform any duty enjoined on him or her by law, or conduct that falls below the standard of decency, good faith and right action impliedly required of all public officers and including any violation of a specific conflict of interest or governmental ethics law<\/em>. When any City law provides that a violation of the law constitutes or is deemed official misconduct, the conduct is covered by this definition and may subject the person to discipline and\/or removal from office.\u201d (emphasis added).<\/p>\n

Because the incident occurred during an alleged argument between Mirkarimi and Lopez at the couple\u2019s home, the \u201cany wrongful behavior by a public officer in relation to the duties of his or her office\u201d test, fails.<\/p>\n

Which leaves the second clause, \u201cconduct that falls below the standard of decency, good faith and right action impliedly required of all public officers,\u201d as the only available basis left for consideration, a basis so broad that, as one observer put it, \u201cYou can drive a truck through.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayor Ed Lee, who has yet to decide if he will charge Mirkarimi with official misconduct, said Monday his assessment of Mirkarimi\u2019s admission of guilt includes consideration of whether his actions constitute an act against the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs it something against the public?\u201d Lee said to a flock of reporters. \u201cI mean, that is part of the determination of official misconduct is having done something in that office that would degrade the functioning of that office or the functioning of that position. So, I have to be very careful about this but, you know, amongst the earlier charges, you can kind of separate in the past the issues of domestic violence as well as the function of the office \u2013 there kind of was a little separation. In this case, I\u2019m not so sure about that separation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lee said he will make a decision after Mirkarimi is sentenced Monday. Following his sentencing, Mirkarimi is expected to explain in full exactly what happened on New Year\u2019s Eve, a narrative that may go some distance in assuaging the bloodthirsty.<\/p>\n

Haaland hasn\u2019t ruled out a run in D5<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"

Gabriel Haaland.<\/p><\/div>\n

SEIU organizer Gabriel Haaland has not ruled out a possible run for the open District 5 seat in November, Fog City Journal can relay.<\/p>\n

Haaland, who ran for D5 supe in 2004 but narrowly lost to Ross Mirkarimi, said Monday he would consider running if appointed D5 Supervisor Christina Olague, considered a progressive, strays from her progressive roots.<\/p>\n

The question of whether Olague, a former Green Party registrant turned Democrat, can remain independent following her appointment by Mayor Ed Lee in January, was raised most recently with her pivotal support for a charter amendment proposal<\/a>, introduced last week by Supervisor Mark Farrell, that aims to repeal Ranked Choice Voting in all San Francisco citywide races.<\/p>\n

Asked if he has ruled out a possible run, Haaland told Fog City<\/em>: \u201cAs I said in December and January \u2013 I\u2019ve known Christina for 15 years. She\u2019s a good friend. If she remains a progressive\u2026 as long as she stays true to who she is, which I think she will\u2026 It\u2019s not my intent to threaten her or be the person lurking on the sidelines waiting for her to make a mistake, either. I want to support her, give her a chance to do the right thing because, as you know in San Francisco, there\u2019s a lot of people who lurk on the sidelines waiting for what they perceive to be a mistake and then it\u2019s like, sharks on blood, and there\u2019s a feeding frenzy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Haaland said he would support using RCV in a June primary with a runoff decided in November, suggested modifications he said he has discussed with RCV champion Steven Hill and Olague.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy preference going forward as it relates to Christina is to support her, give her constructive feedback and give her a chance to get her sea legs,\u201d Haaland said. \u201cAt the end of the day, my belief is that she is a progressive.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
