"After just three weeks on the job, the Planning Commission\u2019s newest and youngest member is enjoying a quick rise to civic prominence after being appointed Thursday to serve as panel vice president.Cindy Wu \u2014 a planner and outreach specialist connected to the increasingly influential Chinatown Community Development Center and its powerful consultant, Rose Pak \u2014 was unanimously confirmed as the new commissioner earlier this month after being appointed by Board of Supervisors President David Chiu.Commissioners Katherin Moore and Bill Sugaya voted against Wu\u2019s ascension to vice president Thursday, and that of Commissioner Rodney Fong as president. In his dissent, Sugaya pointedly chided the Mayor\u2019s Office for a lack of transparency on influencing the situation.Sugaya said communications between the Mayor\u2019s Office and other commission members regarding the vote went against Mayor Ed Lee\u2019s campaign pledge for greater openness in City Hall.\u201CApparently that does not extend to the Planning Commission,\u201D said Sugaya, who scrutinizes development projects more heavily than most commissioners."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
