Who had a hand in Muni boss Nat Ford’s departure? Matier and Ross report that Mayor Ed Lee was key in escorting Ford out of the building. Money quote:

[Lee] wanted someone with a “150 percent commitment” to running Muni – and that Ford, with his constant job hunting, wasn’t cutting it.

Matier and Ross also report that Department of Public Works Director Ed Reiskin maybe a likely replacement, though it’s uncertain whether Reiskin will actually be taking Ford’s place.
