Embattled San Francisco Supervisor Jackie Fielder is asking for a stunning three months away from City Hall, a disappearance that would sideline the progressive lawmaker through the city’s most high-stakes budget fight. The Post first reported that Fielder formally requested to skip all Board of Supervisors meetings after what her office described as an “acute personal health crisis” that led to her hospitalization. Now, new information released Tuesday shows she is seeking to extend that leave through June 30, dramatically lengthening her absence.
