A new reform effort aimed at limiting outside employment by SF supervisors made the front page of the Chron Dec. 9, but a much-more-significant change in board rules is also under discussion and could wind up on the ballot soon.

These are excellent points. Way too much power. Appointees are beholden to the Mayor and their voting patterns can change the future of the City.
