City Initiatives

Prop A: Schools Improvement and Safety Bond

https://www.sf.gov/information/proposition-schools-improvement-and-safety-bond

OPPOSE: 

SFUSD has significant unspent money from previous bonds, is in the process of closing schools, and is currently facing a large deficit.

Prop B: Community Health and Medical Facilities, Street Safety, Public Spaces and Shelter to Reduce Homelessness Bond

https://www.sf.gov/information/proposition-b-community-health-and-medical-facilities-street-safety-public-spaces-and

OPPOSE: 

Enough already! Why would we spend more money when the City has not wisely spent the hundreds of millions we already allocate each year?

Prop C: Inspector General 

https://www.sf.gov/information/proposition-c-inspector-general

OPPOSE:

The new Inspector General would be subject to approval by the Board of Supervisors and the Mayor.  As a result, he would be no more likely to go after corruption than the BOS and Mayor are, and it will turn out being just another patronage position.  While the goal is admirable, cleaning up SF can’t be done until the Democrats are voted out of the positions of power.

Prop D: City Commissions and Mayoral Authority

https://www.sf.gov/information/proposition-d-city-commissions-and-mayoral-authority

SUPPORT: 

Currently, the un-elected and unaccountable Police Commission sets police department policies.

This returns oversight power and accountability to the police chief.

It also reduces the number of useless city commissions (SF currently has twice as many as LA or Boston)

Prop E: Creating a Task Force to Recommend Changing, Eliminating, or Combining City Commissions

https://www.sf.gov/information/proposition-e-creating-task-force-recommend-changing-eliminating-or-combining-city

OPPOSE: 

This is a poison pill measure to defeat Proposition D.

Prop F: Police Staffing and Deferred Retirement

https://www.sf.gov/information/proposition-f-police-staffing-and-deferred-retirement

SUPPORT:

Keeps more police officers on the beat – cheaper than paying overtime. Experienced street savvy officers are invaluable.

Prop G: Funding Rental Subsidies for Affordable Housing Developments Serving Low Income Seniors, Families, and Persons with Disabilities

https://www.sf.gov/information/proposition-g-funding-rental-subsidies-affordable-housing-developments-serving-low

OPPOSE 

There are many vacant subsidized rental units in the city today – let’s fill those first.

The more that our government interferes with the markets, the more they distort them.

This program is a literal lottery with winners and losers.

Charity should be paid for by private citizens and foundations–It shouldn’t come from the tax dollars of those who would rather spend the money on their own family’s housing.

Prop H: Retirement Benefits for Firefighters

https://www.sf.gov/information/proposition-h-retirement-benefits-firefighters

OPPOSE:

In 2011, San Franciscans approved Proposition C, designed to ensure the financial viability of San Francisco’s pension system while preserving competitive benefits for public employees. Let’s stick with fiscal discipline, folks.

Prop I: Retirement Benefits for Nurses and 911 Operators

https://www.sf.gov/information/proposition-i-retirement-benefits-nurses-and-911-operators

OPPOSE:

Per-diem nurses are paid at a much higher rate than salaried nurses.

The controller says this could cost $6.7 million in the first year, while the city is nearly $1 billion in debt.

The 911 operators as both full-time City employees and as designated First Responders deserve to be made part of the miscellaneous safety retirement plan by our future Supervisors.

Prop J: Funding Programs Serving Children, Youth, and Families

https://www.sf.gov/information/proposition-j-funding-programs-serving-children-youth-and-families

OPPOSE:

As the Controller notes: “…it would have a significant impact on the cost of government of up to $35 million in FY 2024-25 and increasing to up to $83 million in FY 2037-38 in that it would reallocate funding that would otherwise be available to the General Fund.”  

Good government principles call for the BOS to be given sufficient discretion to allocate funds without them being tied up in unneeded set asides.

This prop adds bureaucratic positions – nominally for “monitoring”-- more likely for patronage.

Prop K: Permanently Closing the Upper Great Highway to Private Vehicles to Establish a Public Open Recreation Space

https://www.sf.gov/information/proposition-k-permanently-closing-upper-great-highway-private-vehicles-establish-public

OPPOSE:

Roads are for cars.  What K does is simply close the Great Highway to all cars except official Government vehicles.

This proposition does not provide any funding or plans for a park.

It will increase pedestrian and vehicle accidents on roadways near the Great Highway as well as on the streets and avenues of The Sunset and Parkside. 

Prop L: Additional Business Tax on Transportation Network Companies and Autonomous Vehicle Businesses to Fund Public Transportation

https://www.sf.gov/information/proposition-l-additional-business-tax-transportation-network-companies-and-autonomous

OPPOSE: 

San Francisco already collects enough taxes to fund its needs.

Moreover, Muni ridership has shrunk dramatically since the pandemic; service needs to be right-sized. Fix MUNI first. We get a new tax for MUNI every election; do one funding bill. 

Prop M: Changes to Business Taxes

https://www.sf.gov/information/proposition-m-changes-business-taxes

OPPOSE:

If we keep taxing these medium-sized and large class businesses, they will leave or never come here in the first place. Large companies drive the local economy and are the wealth creators.

San Francisco already collects enough taxes to fund its needs. Moreover, Muni ridership has shrunk dramatically since the pandemic; service needs to be right-sized.

Prop N: First Responder Student Loan and Training Reimbursement Fund

https://www.sf.gov/information/proposition-n-first-responder-student-loan-and-training-reimbursement-fund

OPPOSE:

Unnecessary; we should be streamlining city government.

There is already a federal program for student loan forgiveness.  

WIll this encourage city employees to take on extra training and debt?

This could open the door to demands from other civil service employees.

Pay the first responders more to begin with.

Prop O: Supporting Reproductive Rights

https://www.sf.gov/information/proposition-o-supporting-reproductive-rights

NEUTRAL:

We agree with President Trump that we should be neutral on this issue.  So say we all.
