Mayor-elect Newsom has named 183 people to his advisory transition team. Louise Renne rules the wrangling. ... Choices range widely over the political field, drawing heavily on established types. Some intriguing transistors: Craig Newmark of craigslist.com. ... Tanya Nieman of the S.F. Bar Association's legal aid project ... Jeremiah Hallisey (who turned down a Superior Court judgeship in the final days of the Davis Admin.) ... Joe Cotchett (said to be running for Lt. Gov.) ... Shelley Bradford Bell ... Annemarie Conroy ... ambitious Adam Werbach. ...
Looking for some new Newsom job? E-mail that mission statement to: transition@gavinnewsom.com. Helpful Hint: Do not use the phrase "special assistant" in your goals & objectives 'graf.
The fact that the Newsom people released the list alphabetized by first names, and not by surnames, may be indicative of how just intimate Gav is with everybody, or else it's a just a sign of the inferiority of Excel's sorting capability. Anyway, at great personal expense and as a public service, we here at the P.J. Corkery Institute of Proper Nomenclature have re-sorted the list by last names.
