After Newsom attacked the supervisors in this morning’s Chron, Board President David Chiu and Budget Committee Chair John Avalos decided to pay the mayor a visit. “We wanted to show that we’re open about talking, negotiating on the budget,” Chiu told us. “So we walked into his office to see if he would meet with us.”

Uh, small problem there: “We were told the mayor was out of town.”
