This Ad is paid for by: Connie Chan for Congress
Good afternoon!
Okay, Joe Eskenazi just found out that some of the language in November’s Proposition A appears to invalidate June’s Prop. B, which set new term limits for mayors and supervisors, and was widely seen as a device to keep Aaron Peskin from ever becoming mayor. So now what? Read the messy details.
For back story, see why former governor Jerry Brown told Mission Local in May that Prop. B was “all directed at one person” and “Trumpian.“
The current platforms of Scott Wiener and Connie Chan on Israel and Palestine are not that far apartโbut Wiener’s clashes with pro-Palestine activists have not abated. Io Yeh Gilman has an in-depth look at Weiner’s long history with the issues, and what it could mean for this election.
In other election news, Marina Newman reports on the impact of the $540,000 donation from billionaire Chris Larsen to support Theo Ellington in the race for District 10 supervisor. In a chronically underfunded district that fears displacement, the other candidates hope their “anti-billionaire” campaign will make the contribution backfire.
More soon,
