Bridge Follies |

Who’s supposedly in charge of making
sure the Main Street of the Bay Area doesn’t drop
into the soup? That would be Sunne Wright McPeak,
director of California’s largest government agency,
Business, Transportation and Housing. McPeak’s
resume is less-than-stentorian: washout Contra Costa
burgomaster and most recently head of the
policy-for-hire “think tank” Bay Area Council.
Cynics suggest that Ms. McPeak’s appointment had
more to do with putting talk of the Governor’s
fanny-pinching on movie sets to rest than merit and
predictably enough, Ms. McPeak has made a thorough
bumble of the Bay Bridge problem.
