Good afternoon!
It’s Election Day, and I hope you’ve figured out the (surprisingly short) list of San Francisco measures and district races, and somehow whacked your way through the sixty-one gubernatorial candidates. If you haven’t voted yet, you can drop off your ballot or vote at a polling place or City Hall until 8PM tonight.
And why does it matter? Joe Eskenazi writes that despite the “unappealing morass” at the top of the ticket, municipal issues (for example, the outcome of competing Props. C & D) are going to have a much greater impact on locals.
For back story, see Joe’s piece on Mayor Lurie and the Overpaid CEO Tax.
Stay tuned: The first batch of votes is being tabulated and will drop tonight at 8:45. Meanwhile, we’ve got 15 reportersโplus interns!โspread out all over the city, and will be posting live election updates all day and well into the night.
More soon,
Sara

“There are several factors that will dictate the outcome of todayโs election to keep an eye on. This is a big one.”
Back Story
Lurie and labor are on a collision course.
If Prop. D fails โ or if the measure designed to tank it, Prop.C, gets more votes โ the city will have to deal with perhaps $300 million yearly failing to materialize.
