Good afternoon!
Many of you will be on tenterhooks for the Warriors’ make-or-break game tonight. Here’s another reason it’s a nail-biter: If the Warriors win, the Hardwood Classics get to shine for one more performance this season. Now, some rare good news:
Mission Local has a new senior editor! Please welcome Joe Rivano Barros, who’s cycled in and out of our site since 2014. (Yeah, two Joes. We haven’t yet figured that one out.) He’ll be mentoring our younger staff and doing some terrific reporting as well, so look for his byline.
A marathon meeting of the Board of Supervisors ended in a unanimous call to release the video of Banko Brown’s shooting. Even the DA’s ideological allies urged greater transparency.
Thousands of Medi-Cal caregivers in San Francisco will earn at least $25 per hour, if their union ratifies a new contract approved yesterday by the city. Many currently make as little as $19.25 an hour while enduring long commutes to work.
Need to borrow an extra $500,000 for that first-time home purchase? Talk to the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development. But hurry: Applications close in mid-July. And, alas, there’s a catch.
New pushback on the closing of a Bayview RV camp for formerly homeless residents. The Supes voted unanimously to keep it open. But will it remain open?
