Documents ABC7 Eyewitness News obtained from the Clerk of San Francisco Board of Supervisors office revealed Fielder has been absent for several weeks before her leave of absence was made public.
Her office requested excusals for the March 17 and March 24 board of supervisor’s meetings and one committee meeting two weeks ago. ABC7 Eyewitness insider Phil Matier said there is no set time she’ll have to return.
“Especially if it’s a medical situation. In the past, supervisors have taken up to 3 months in dealing with medical situations. It’s sort of a sensitive area,” said Matier.

Supervisors Fielder’s legislative aide confirmed they will be taking care of the district and “do everything except sit in board meetings and vote, which means we will continue the work responding to and advocating for constituents.”

Happy Mother’s Day to all the McCoven who hopefully have better things to do than watch this dreadful baseball team. But if this is your chosen way of spending the day, then welcome, and may the Giants beat the Pittsburgh Pirates to win the series for you.
Right-hander Tyler Mahle takes the mound for the Giants, as the veteran makes his eighth start of the year. He’s 1-4 on the season, with a 5.00 ERA, a 4.91 FIP, and 34 strikeouts to 18 walks in 36 innings. He was very strong his last time out, pitching 5.1 shutout innings against the Tampa Bay Rays.
For the Pirates, it’s right-hander Bubba Chandler, a 23-year old in his second season. In seven starts this year, Chandler is 1-4 with a 4.76 ERA, a 5.60 FIP, and 31 strikeouts to 26 walks in 34 innings. Chandler gave up two runs in five innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks in his last game. He has issued the most walks in the Major Leagues, so he’s probably foaming at the mouth to face the Giants, who apparently believe that drawing walks is a sin on par with murder.
Enjoy the game, everyone. Go Giants! Go moms!
