A new law passed to promote local hiring might decrease the number of Hispanic workers hired for city construction projects, the Bay Citizen reports. Most construction workers on city projects are Hispanic and do not live in San Francisco, according to a report released by the city, but the local hiring ordinance could dramatically reduce that number.
The San Francisco Chronicle’s C.W. Nevius wrote that the city’s Board of Supervisors raised campaign funding from the city:
The supes voted to increase the amount of matching public funds from $89,000 to $155,000 for nonincumbents and $153,000 for those running for re-election. Supervisor Sean Elsbernd, always a bit of a fiscal gadfly, sees a potential conflict of interest. Five of the eight supervisors who voted in favor of the raise are running for re-election in November.
