In a job opportunity that seems tailor-made for SF Gate’s commenter community, SF’s superior court has announced that it’s beating the bushes for 19 City residents to volunteer on the 2009-10 Civil Grand Jury. According to Presiding Judge James McBride. “Serving as a watchdog with authority to investigate San Francisco City and County agencies, departments and officials is a unique public service opportunity.” Presumably, he was not being sarcastic.

Finally, the opportunity to “interview public officials, conduct audits and inspect government facilities, and then issue public recommendations for reforms”! Put your free time where your mouth is, blogosphere, and apply today.
