Today from Mission Local
Presented by: Girls on the Run Bay Area
Good afternoon!
Crypto billionaire Chris Larsen just gave half a million dollars to the PAC supporting moderate candidate Theo Ellington for D10 supervisor, writes Kelly Waldronโa highly unusual amount in a supervisorial race. Larsen and his wife have also put $2.5 million into supporting Mayor Daniel Lurie‘s charter amendments.
And speaking of D10, read what Ellington, Dion Jay “D.J.” Brookter, and J.R. Epplerโthe candidates for D10 supervisorโ tell Marina Newman about their positions on expanding the use of police surveillance technology.
California and San Francisco passed bills this summer with different models for drug-free housing. Read Adriana Gutierrez on how the state’s rules for “recovery housing” could override D8 Supervisor Matt Dorsey‘s more hard-line approach, in which tenants could be evicted solely for drug use and put into homeless shelters.
Lydia Chรกvez has a roundup of what’s happening at galleries and museums around the city this month. Don’t miss SFMOMA‘s retrospective of works by the great Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide.
More soon,
Sara
