Good afternoon!
San Francisco’s Democratic Party chapter, the DCCC, met last night and bucked the state party to oppose the billionaire tax, reports Junyao Yang.
The DCCC also endorsed Manny Yekutiel in the race for D8 supervisor, Junyao writes, despite sexual assault allegations against him and an emotional plea from his accuser. After nearly two hours of public comment, Supervisor Matt Dorsey flipped his support from Gary McCoy to Yekutiel, clinching the endorsement.
For back story on the politics of the DCCC, see Joe Rivano Barros on the glitzy, tech-backed celebration after moderates took over the party chapter in the March 2024 election.
Wow: half the elevator buildings in San Francisco have only one elevator. And Hamza Fahmy finds that the agency tasked with overseeing their safety can’t say, from its own records, which elevators are safe to ride in. Read about the disturbing backlog in elevator inspections and repairs.
More soon,
