Good afternoon! Lots of city politics today:
Mayor Daniel Lurie defended the awarding of a city contract to OpenGov, a tech company he has ties to. One of the mayor’s deputies overruled staff reports saying the permitting software had โgaps so significantโ that it โshouldnโt be considered.โย
OK, Joe Eskenazi has plenty to say about Marc Benioff‘s “cavalier and crassly stupid” comments on crime in our city. But read why he thinks D.A. Brooke Jenkins, Sup. Matt Dorsey, and Neighbors for a Better San Francisco are equally self-serving in their rush to condemn the billionaire.
Xueer Lu and Io Yeh Gilman sat down for an exit interview with recalled D4 Supervisor Joel Engardio. See what he told them about the Great Highway, angry voters, and the changes in the city’s moderate coalition. Get the back story in our analysis of the recall.
More soon,
