People like to compare San Francisco to Chicago.  Chicago is, hands down, my favorite U.S. city and San Francisco doesn’t hold a candle to the Windy City….except when it comes to politics.  There I will agree that the two cities have much in common:  city politics and governments dominated by the Democratic Party.  Today’s Matier & Ross column in the San Francisco Chronicle highlights the questionable fundraising of a Board of Supervisors candidate, Jaynry Mak.  Mak has lots and lots of big donations from minimum-wage type of workers, some of whom M&R couldn’t find when they doublechecked the donor’s info.  Makes me think of Chicago’s machine politics.
