(KRON4)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Former San Francisco Supervisor Michael Yaki has agreed to pay the city $75,000 over nine years to settle claims that he lobbied for a fire equipment manufacturer. The city attorney claims Yaki violated the city's lobbyist ordinance -- which he voted for as a supervisor in 2000 -- at least 70 times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/208465673/Lobbying-Complaint-Against-Michael-Yaki\">lawsuit\u003c/a> filed last December, the City Attorney Dennis Herrera alleged that Yaki \"flouted the lobbyist ordinance in every way.\" The suit claims that Yaki:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"spent over a year lobbying Board members, the Mayor's Office, members of the Fire Commission, and the Fire Department on behalf of his client, Rescue Air Systems, Inc. Yet despite making more than 70 lobbying contacts, Yaki ... failed to register as a lobbyist, failed to disclose who was paying him to lobby and how much he was paid, and failed to disclose any of his lobbying contacts. With his identity as a paid lobbyist undisclosed, Yaki sometimes misrepresented who he worked for.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Yaki, a lawyer and political consultant who served as supervisor from 1996 to 2001, neither admits nor denies the allegations in the settlement. He currently serves on the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lobbying claims center on a San Carlos company, Rescue Air Systems, that is the exclusive manufacturer of a firefighter air replenishment system, meant to enable firefighters to refill their portable oxygen tanks while fighting fires in highrise buildings. Starting in 2004 San Francisco required such systems in all new buildings more than 75 feet tall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, in 2012, the city's Fire Commission began exploring allowing developers to use different methods of oxygen delivery. The lawsuit says Rescue Air Systems then hired Yaki to convince city officials to stick with the existing fire code. The Fire Commission did delay consideration of the change. But despite the emails, texts, phone calls and in-person meetings that the lawsuit claims Yaki employed, the Board of Supervisors last September did vote to allow alternative oxygen systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yaki's lawyer, Stuart Gasner, declined to comment on the allegations. Yaki had previously told KQED in an email that his work for Rescue Air Systems was legal:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“There is an exception within the Ordinance allowing attorney representation, and as an attorney I worked within the parameters of the ordinance. My client retained several lobbying firms to handle lobbying on the ordinance when it came to the Board of Supervisors. I look forward to positively resolving this matter with the City Attorney.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Under the proposed agreement, Yaki will register as a lobbyist, and file the monthly lobbyist disclosures required by law and complete a lobbyist training session. The deal must still be approved by the city's Ethics Commission and Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Ethics Commission will also review a separate, smaller settlement with retired state Fire Marshal Ruben Grijalva on allegations of lobbying for the same air system vendor. The agreement would require Grijalva to register as a lobbyist retroactively, pay the required $500 registration fee and complete a lobbyist training session.\u003c/p>\n\n",

(KRON4)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Former San Francisco Supervisor Michael Yaki has agreed to pay the city $75,000 over nine years to settle claims that he lobbied for a fire equipment manufacturer. The city attorney claims Yaki violated the city's lobbyist ordinance -- which he voted for as a supervisor in 2000 -- at least 70 times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/208465673/Lobbying-Complaint-Against-Michael-Yaki\">lawsuit\u003c/a> filed last December, the City Attorney Dennis Herrera alleged that Yaki \"flouted the lobbyist ordinance in every way.\" The suit claims that Yaki:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"spent over a year lobbying Board members, the Mayor's Office, members of the Fire Commission, and the Fire Department on behalf of his client, Rescue Air Systems, Inc. Yet despite making more than 70 lobbying contacts, Yaki ... failed to register as a lobbyist, failed to disclose who was paying him to lobby and how much he was paid, and failed to disclose any of his lobbying contacts. With his identity as a paid lobbyist undisclosed, Yaki sometimes misrepresented who he worked for.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Yaki, a lawyer and political consultant who served as supervisor from 1996 to 2001, neither admits nor denies the allegations in the settlement. He currently serves on the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lobbying claims center on a San Carlos company, Rescue Air Systems, that is the exclusive manufacturer of a firefighter air replenishment system, meant to enable firefighters to refill their portable oxygen tanks while fighting fires in highrise buildings. Starting in 2004 San Francisco required such systems in all new buildings more than 75 feet tall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, in 2012, the city's Fire Commission began exploring allowing developers to use different methods of oxygen delivery. The lawsuit says Rescue Air Systems then hired Yaki to convince city officials to stick with the existing fire code. The Fire Commission did delay consideration of the change. But despite the emails, texts, phone calls and in-person meetings that the lawsuit claims Yaki employed, the Board of Supervisors last September did vote to allow alternative oxygen systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

[to] the very person they claimed to defend, the very person that they have tried to use.\u003cbr>\n--Ross Mirkarimi\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ross Mirkarimi\u003c/strong> Well I don't know what poll you're quoting and I know that a number of people were quoting a variety of polls. We've seen polls leading up to yesterday, very recent polls, that even had district by district breakdowns. And I have to tell you those were not push-button polls. These were well in-depth polls that demonstrated that the high majority of people in many districts throughout he city were undecided about this, and that we either were receiving strong support for reinstatement or it was almost an even split if the undecided was not that large. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think what people are tired of is this torture that has been kind of well-played out in the press. Distorted, misportrayed, of me and my family, and I think everyone looks forward to just now going forward. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Michael Krasny\u003c/strong>: How are you going to really roll up your sleeves and get to work in building trust, not only with the supervisors but with Mayor Lee? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ross Mirkarimi\u003c/strong> I started already. As the events were concluding last night, I reached out to the caretaker sheriff, spoke with [her] almost around midnight. We have planned a transition debriefing starting later today and over the next several days. I've reached out to members of the command staff and the president of the rank and file union already to let them know I look forward to a debriefing and catching up with them. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">The narrative that Eliana has not fallen into is what's bothered them, which is why I think they've intensified their attacks.\u003cbr>\n--Ross Mirkarimi\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>I think people should not forget, when you last had me on your show, which was my coming out interview after being quiet about all of this just because of how humiliated and ashamed and lost I was feeling... that I had served as sheriff for nearly three months, and a lot of what we began ...which was halted or stalled... are now the kind of action we can return to. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I come into this as a very humbled person, one that has gone through an incredibly difficult process publicly...and that's not an experience one just loses, that now...indelibly has marked me and I would like to believe enhances me in what it means to be a very effective and dedicated public servant. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Michael Krasny\u003c/strong>: What do you say to those detractors who argue that now it's like the fox being in charge of the henhouse? It was a very serious crime according to the attorneys who spoke on behalf of the mayor, and in fact one deputy city attorney said it would be like Michael Vick being in charge of animal control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ross Mirkarimi\u003c/strong> Since day one of this whole ordeal there's been an incredible amount of mischaracterization and mistportrayal about who I am and what I've done. And yet to this day, nobody from the domestic violence agencies, nobody from the police department, district attorney, has ever reached out... [to] the very person they claimed to defend, the very person that they have tried to use. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet she has written a number of pieces just outraged at that level of dismissal. So If in fact this is a representation of victims rights, they should talk to the person that they claim to represent and hear what the full story is. And that has never been well told. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The narrative that Eliana has not fallen into is what's bothered them, which is why I think they've intensified their attacks. Such as a Michael Vick analogy, or such as even suggesting to us last night that the next thing I could do is seriously hurt or kill my family. I mean my god to say those kind of things in order to enhance your position, while that might be politics and that might be legal maneuvering in a court contest, it does not mean you have to scare people into falsehoods thinking that is the kind of branding that is going to support their narrative. And I reject that. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — After nine months of headlines and bitter legal squabbling over the fate of San Francisco's sheriff, three members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors said Tuesday that they decided he should not be removed from office over a domestic violence case involving his actress wife.

The city's \u003ca href=\"http://library.municode.com/HTML/14130/level1/AXIII.html#AXIII_s13.101.5\">charter states\u003c/a> that in the event of a mayoral vacancy, the Board of Supervisors chooses an interim until an election is held:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>If the Office of Mayor becomes vacant because of death, resignation, recall, permanent disability or the inability to carry out the responsibilities of the office, the President of the Board of Supervisors shall become Acting Mayor and shall serve until a successor is appointed by the Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any person filling a vacancy pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this Section shall serve until a successor is selected at the next election occurring not less than 120 days after the vacancy...\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003cp>Any successor needs six votes on the Board, no easy task, and speculation about just who will emerge as the consensus candidate has gone on for many months. In May, former mayoral candidate and progressive heartthrob Matt Gonzalez was \u003ca href=\"http://www.fogcityjournal.com/wordpress/2012/gonzalez-being-considered-for-interim-mayoral-post/\">rumored\u003c/a> to be in the running. That never panned out, and in June, the Bay Citizen wrote \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/18/us/18bcboard.html\">this piece\u003c/a> pegging David Chiu, the Board president, and Aaron Peskin, San Francisco Democratic Party Chairman, as the frontrunners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\nMr. Chiu, 40, would be San Francisco’s first Chinese-American mayor. He was elected board president on his first day in office in 2008 thanks largely to Mr. Peskin, his predecessor as president...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mr. Chiu is popular and smart, with a firm grasp of policy issues and a centrist’s disposition; Mr. Peskin has been known to refer to him jokingly as “the Chinese Obama,” aides say. Mr. Chiu is often willing to break with his progressive allies and seek compromises with moderate colleagues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 46-year-old Mr. Peskin, on the other hand, is widely described as a bare-knuckled powerbroker, a capable operative who has turned the Democratic Party in San Francisco into a solidly progressive political machine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Who has put together a majority on that board before? David Chiu and Aaron Peskin,” said Eric Jaye, a former political strategist for Mr. Newsom. “You need to look at those two as front-runners, without a doubt.”\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple of months ago, a no-holds-barred realpolitik \u003ca href=\"http://abledartsbathroomwall.yuku.com/topic/3779\">analysis\u003c/a> posted on The Wall, a political forum on San Francisco politics, figured Peskin as the politico-most-likely to fill a vacated mayoralty. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\nPeskin is the mostly likely to be appointed mayor by the other Guys. He started out well in politics as a good-government type.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, he got carried away with his own power. He developed a nasty habit of getting drunk after dinner and calling public officials at home night, loudly berating them with slurred obscenities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After being termed out as a supe, he successfully enlisted his cronies to orchestrate a take-over of the Democratic County Central Committee. They pushed out the good-natured, openly-gay Scott Wiener as chair and put Peskin in his place. Since then, Peskin has created a well oiled machine whose purpose is to make himself mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has expressed his style of politics with the infamous Peskin principle: “Payback is a bitch.” This is the motto of every political machine. He first snarled these words at a woman sitting in a wheelchair.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Just 11 days ago, however, the Bay Citizen reported on Peskin's \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/sf-supervisors-race/story/left-wing-shudders-its-presumed-leader/\">waning influence\u003c/a>, stating that a string of political setbacks has revealed that his \"reach seems to have been overstated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\nFour days ago, the Bay Area Reporter named state Senator Mark Leno and Assemblyman Tom Ammiano as \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebar.com/news/article.php?sec=news&article=5198\">front-runners\u003c/a>. Of Ammiano, the city's previous progressive standard-bearer who lost to incumbent mayor Willie Brown in the 1999 mayoral run-off, BAR says this:\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\nA number of supervisors say they want Ammiano to move into Room 200 should the job become available. They contend Ammiano has the six votes needed among the current board to be elected to the post.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We may have a 'Run, Tom, Run' situation à la 1999,\" Supervisor Chris Daly told the Bay Area Reporter , referring to the write-in campaign that propelled Ammiano into that year's mayoral race in which he forced then-Mayor Willie Brown into a surprise runoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ammiano, who is expected to easily win a second term in the Assembly Tuesday, left the door open to being named mayor during a brief phone interview with the B.A.R. this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You never say never in politics, that is the rule, but I am extremely satisfied in Sacramento.

The city's \u003ca href=\"http://library.municode.com/HTML/14130/level1/AXIII.html#AXIII_s13.101.5\">charter states\u003c/a> that in the event of a mayoral vacancy, the Board of Supervisors chooses an interim until an election is held:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>If the Office of Mayor becomes vacant because of death, resignation, recall, permanent disability or the inability to carry out the responsibilities of the office, the President of the Board of Supervisors shall become Acting Mayor and shall serve until a successor is appointed by the Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any person filling a vacancy pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this Section shall serve until a successor is selected at the next election occurring not less than 120 days after the vacancy...\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003cp>Any successor needs six votes on the Board, no easy task, and speculation about just who will emerge as the consensus candidate has gone on for many months. In May, former mayoral candidate and progressive heartthrob Matt Gonzalez was \u003ca href=\"http://www.fogcityjournal.com/wordpress/2012/gonzalez-being-considered-for-interim-mayoral-post/\">rumored\u003c/a> to be in the running. That never panned out, and in June, the Bay Citizen wrote \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/18/us/18bcboard.html\">this piece\u003c/a> pegging David Chiu, the Board president, and Aaron Peskin, San Francisco Democratic Party Chairman, as the frontrunners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\nMr. Chiu, 40, would be San Francisco’s first Chinese-American mayor. He was elected board president on his first day in office in 2008 thanks largely to Mr. Peskin, his predecessor as president...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mr. Chiu is popular and smart, with a firm grasp of policy issues and a centrist’s disposition; Mr. Peskin has been known to refer to him jokingly as “the Chinese Obama,” aides say. Mr. Chiu is often willing to break with his progressive allies and seek compromises with moderate colleagues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 46-year-old Mr. Peskin, on the other hand, is widely described as a bare-knuckled powerbroker, a capable operative who has turned the Democratic Party in San Francisco into a solidly progressive political machine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Who has put together a majority on that board before? David Chiu and Aaron Peskin,” said Eric Jaye, a former political strategist for Mr. Newsom. “You need to look at those two as front-runners, without a doubt.”\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple of months ago, a no-holds-barred realpolitik \u003ca href=\"http://abledartsbathroomwall.yuku.com/topic/3779\">analysis\u003c/a> posted on The Wall, a political forum on San Francisco politics, figured Peskin as the politico-most-likely to fill a vacated mayoralty. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\nPeskin is the mostly likely to be appointed mayor by the other Guys. He started out well in politics as a good-government type.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, he got carried away with his own power. He developed a nasty habit of getting drunk after dinner and calling public officials at home night, loudly berating them with slurred obscenities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After being termed out as a supe, he successfully enlisted his cronies to orchestrate a take-over of the Democratic County Central Committee. They pushed out the good-natured, openly-gay Scott Wiener as chair and put Peskin in his place. Since then, Peskin has created a well oiled machine whose purpose is to make himself mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has expressed his style of politics with the infamous Peskin principle: “Payback is a bitch.” This is the motto of every political machine. He first snarled these words at a woman sitting in a wheelchair.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Just 11 days ago, however, the Bay Citizen reported on Peskin's \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/sf-supervisors-race/story/left-wing-shudders-its-presumed-leader/\">waning influence\u003c/a>, stating that a string of political setbacks has revealed that his \"reach seems to have been overstated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
