Good afternoon!
The race for supervisor in D1 is intense, as incumbent Connie Chan battles four candidates and a GrowSF PAC set up to defeat her. Come hear the candidates in person tomorrow night, at a free Mission Local forum moderated by reporter Junyao Yang. Make a reservation and bring your questions.
Meanwhile, over in D11, we asked the candidates about California proposition 33, which would allow local governments to enact rent control. Only one candidate, Michael Lai, opposed the prop, saying it would have “unintended consequences.“
Everybody’s mad at Matt Wayne, the Superintendent of SFUSD who’s managed to alienate his school board, the Mayor, city officials, and thousands of angry parents over his plan for closing schools. Joe Eskenazi explains the fumbleโand what’s likely to happen next.
Eleni Balakrishnan is closely following the trial of Nina Momeni, accused of the murder of tech exec Bob Lee, and brings you updates on the courtroom arguments. Yesterday: What does “dark and secluded” really mean? And did the SFPD do its job?
More soon,
Sara
