In an article entitled ” How Gavin Newsom keeps getting ahead of the pack,” reporter Cathleen Decker maintains that: ” Yes, the group loves Newsom, in large part because as mayor he pushed and signed into existence universal healthcare for city residents.”

This is untrue. San Francisco activist Larry Bush (of Friends of Ethics)  writes on Facebook that:

“Someone needs to tell CNA that Newsom is NOT the author of SF’s health program, but tried to water it down. It was Tom AMMIANO’s legislation. Perhaps CNA should endorse Tom for Governor!”
