She was 90.
Georgia Otterson, 76, a health care administrator, said Feinstein wasn’t as politically liberal as she would have liked, but the late mayor earned her respect with how she kept the heartbroken city together.

She often called her successors — including Newsom — to complain about potholes or trash and to offer advice and encouragement.
