Good morning!
Kevin Ortiz, co-president of the Latinx Democratic Club, has taken a leave following a Chronicle report that detailed allegations of sexual assault in 2021. Read Mission Local’s interview with Zahra Hajee, the woman who made the accusations.
For 12 years, a weekly market of vendors flourished at the 24th Street BART plaza without problems. Now the city is struggling to control unpermitted vendors, businesses are angry, and those selling artisanal goods are gone. What changed?
See how they run followed Mayor London Breed and her main opponents (minus Aaron Peskin) to a Stop Crime SF forum last night, where they competed to be the toughest on public safety. In fact, crime is down, the police budget is up, and city jails are bursting at the seamsโbut candidates still stumped for doubling down on law and order.
More soon,
