Scott Haggerty: Lost in Translation
Before the Alameda County Board of Supervisors tackled a lengthy, controversial hearing yesterday on whether to immediately appoint Nancy O’Malley to succeed imminently retiring Alameda County District Attorney Tom Orloff, they passed a resolution celebrating the 10th anniversary of the “sister county” relationship with Taoyuan County, Taiwan.
Supervisor Scott Haggerty, he of the recently shifting political allegiances, noted that during a visit to Taoyuan County, he discovered that the equivalent title to “supervisor” there is “governor,” and so he was being introduced around as “Governor Haggerty.”
“I really enjoyed that,” he said.
