high-larious

newsom press secretary nathan ballard has become a standup comedian. in response to ross mirkarimi's proposal that the city run its own medical marijuana dispensaries, he had this to say:

"The mayor will have to hash this out with public health officials," press secretary Nathan Ballard said. "It's the mayor's job to weed out bad legislation. And to be blunt, this sounds pretty bad."

if (when?) newsom doesn't win the gubernatorial race, maybe ballard can get a job writing jokes for high times?
