From the San Francisco Examiner:
Mayor Ed Lee’s Port Commission appointment to fill the seat vacated by his previous controversial pick, Mel Murphy, sailed through the Board of Supervisors Rules Committee on Thursday.Eleni Kounalakis
Eleni Kounalakis, if ultimately confirmed by the full board in two weeks, would serve on the five-member Port Commission, filling out the remainder of Murphy’s term, ending May 1, when she’d likely be reappointed.
Kounalakis drew support from important segments of the political arena in former progressive Mayor Art Agnos, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union.
