Councilmen Ben Hueso, Tony Young and Carl DeMaio have nominated local attorney Lee Burdick to a vacancy on the Port Commission.
The council members announced the news in a memo today, the last day to make nominations to replace Laurie Black. Last year Burdick was briefly in the race for city attorney.
I’ll post more on this news later. In the meantime, read my story from earlier this week on the intrigue and politics behind the appointment.
