There were folks who were concerned that Michael as a board member would sort of meddle in other people's affairs.

I don't like to meddle in my private affairs.

Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

He was concerned about going back to the board, ... I do remember saying 'You have to do something,' and he left. I was kind of surprised that there were any transactions from internal accounts. I thought the $1.5 million we borrowed at the start of the month and the $3 million that the school district borrowed later that month would have been sufficient.

The national case precedent says the appointing body can remove a member of a board they appointed with cause. It has to be some kind of malfeasance.

He was the only member of the board who regularly rode Muni, and that got coverage. He was a pioneer as an advocate for transit.
