Good morning!
A group campaigning to fight Prop K and keep the Upper Great Highway open to cars failed to properly register as a political action committee or disclose its donors, according to a complaint filed with the Ethics Commission. Vin Budhai, the PAC’s founder, is also sending donations to another No on K committee, run by D7 supervisorial candidate Matt Boschetto.
Meanwhile, between Tuesday and Thursday, mayoral candidate Daniel Lurie dropped another $1,305,000 into his own campaign. Lurie, the wealthiest contender and top fundraiser in this race, is forgoing public financing.
Sen. Scott Weiner’s bill giving police the authority to ticket and arrest people selling stolen goods on the street has died in the state assembly. In response, San Francisco extendedย its own Mission Street vending ban for another six months. See what local leaders have to say about it.
Also dead is a state bill that would have allowed robotaxis to be ticketed for traffic violations. Instead, the bill was amended to require cases of โnon-complianceโ by driverless cars to be reported to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
More soon,
