SF Ken Garcia
Garcia: Resignation request causes wrong uproar
- Perhaps it’s not such a good thing that Mayor Gavin Newsom has no viable candidate campaigning against him this year, because even running against himself, he’s not doing so well.

Garcia: 9/11 lesson - be vigilant
- You can push it to the back of your mind, but there’s no escaping the date on the calendar — Sept. 11, for most Americans the singular news event of their lives.

Garcia: Hsu saga takes on a bizarre new twist
- If state and federal authorities didn’t take Democratic wheeler-dealer Norman Hsu seriously before, perhaps this is a good time to start.

Garcia: The voodoo that Hsu does
- It was like old home week in the Bay Area — aging hippies congregating en masse for the Summer of Love anniversary, some of the great local ’60s rock bands making an appearance and the return of Norman Hsu to the arms of the local legal system.

Garcia: Fisher is king of his art
- When you can afford to have an original sculpture by Alexander Calder unassumingly taking up space on your office table, as Gap founder Don Fisher does, you can also afford to be more than a bit understated.

Garcia: Mayoral race an only-in-S.F. circus
- There are some niggling questions about the upcoming mayoral race in November, including whether Mayor Gavin Newsom will continue trying to raise money or bother to debate against a bunch of no-name candidates.
Garcia: Cabbie case highlights S.F.’s taxi scene
- About the only thing harder than finding a taxi in some parts of San Francisco is uncovering a cabdriver or company that will voluntarily relinquish their operating permit.
Garcia: Twisted scandal may have another chapter
- It can’t be easy trying to take the high road when all the attention is focused elsewhere.
Garcia: S.F. politicians tell cops to 'walk the line'
- If our elected officials are so insistent on trying to control staffing issues for the San Francisco Police Department, perhaps they should consider moving to the district stations to get a better check on reality.

Garcia: Urban geography rules pot-club politics
- You don’t have to be an aficionado of hookah pipes to understand that when it comes to pot clubs in San Francisco, not all neighborhoods are created equal.
Garcia: We'll miss you, Pete
- The feedback from readers and longtime listeners on Pete Wilson’s death is like a mirror image of his career. They praise him, thank him, eviscerate him and say how much they will miss him.
Garcia: Denial at City Hall
- It’s refreshing to know that San Francisco Supervisor Ed Jew can gather so many supporters to protest his “unfair’’ treatment by The City’s legal officials. But I still don’t think it’s going to be a winning strategy in his case to try to tell a judge that home is where the heart is.
Garcia: L.A. mayor’s ‘Summer of Love’ scandal
- When will politicians ever learn that if they want to toss a grenade, they shouldn’t be standing in a mine field?
