Brickbat: Bay Area Payoffs

Sheryl Davis, the head of San Francisco's Human Rights Commission, has been placed on leave after a local media outlet revealed her undisclosed relationship with James Spingola, the head of Collective Impact, a nonprofit that has received $1.5 million in contracts from her agency. Davis, who approved the contracts, is herself the former executive director of Collective Impact. According to The San Francisco Standard, Davis and Spingola are both registered to vote at the same address and jointly own a car. The two are refusing to answer questions about the exact nature of their relationship.

They both look like piles of shit. Maybe they have been mistaken as such while walking around San Fran given how much human feces is deposited in public spaces there. This time, it turns out it occurred in the human rights commission and some place that gets money from them. Sidewalk safe this time.

Sounds like they were bumping uglies while at that place, she got the cherry job and he moved into her slot. The fun didn't end and she shoveled money to him which is a no no. The problem is that considering San Francisco, his operation probably would have gotten the money anyways. They should have disclosed the relationship and she could have bowed out of any decisions being made about them.

I don't blame her. The fact that there is a "human rights commission" that has over a million tax-payer dollars to blow is the real problem. Axe the whole thing.

[Stupid Government Tricks]

Government is always the problem. Its mere existence invites corruption, begs for it, and its natural bureaucratic growth is unchecked by any competition of fear of bankruptcy or loss of customers.

I look forward to her one day running for president.

I imagine she had a middle class upbringing.

[Don't look at me!]

But is there enough joy?

And the large amount of cash in their house is normal for Black people.

"The two are refusing to answer questions about the exact nature of their relationship."

I have no questions.

Unlike Trump, these are felonies.
