 San Francisco Examiner: Columnists
What got Tony into trouble — aside from the startling accusations Sunday that Tony and his personal lawyer apparently tried to muscle a $420,000 make-work political gig for the lawyer from island developer Darius Anderson — was that he wasn’t much of a political pro about his post.
Tony got his $160,000 job, plus pension and severance, from The Gav when Tony was an obstinate critic of the mayor on the Bd.
A shrewder politician than Hall would have accepted the terms of the deal and done the bounteous gig quietly, but Tony Hall’s personal animus toward Gavin Newsom is so great, it overwhelmed his political instincts.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Tony Hall, executive director of San Francisco's Treasure Island Development Authority, was dismissed from his position Wednesday in what was the expected conclusion to months of public sparring between Hall, Mayor Gavin Newsom and other city officials.
