Sup. Matt Dorsey nominated Mandelman. Then Sup. Connie Chan took the floor - a lot of us expected her to nominate Sup. Myrna Melgar. Instead, she said she would support Mandelman - and at that point, the outcome was clear.
Melgar told me she knew she wouldn't win, so she took one for 'Team San Francisco.' She said she really wants to work on regional transportation issues, and hopes she will be the board's appointee to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
The big deal was the Budget Committee - which, by all accounts, will once again be chaired by Chan. Some more conservative supes wanted anyone but Chan, but Mandelman didn’t take that deal.
