Board Largely Rejects on Prop E Task Force's Sweeping Governance Overhaul

San Francisco's Board of Supervisors heard — and largely rejected — the Prop E Commission Streamlining Task Force's final report, which proposed slashing the city's 152 public meeting bodies nearly in half and expanding mayoral authority over department heads and commissioners. Over 30 public speakers, backed by a coalition of labor unions, civil rights groups and community advocates, turned out in near-unanimous opposition, while Board President Mandelman signaled the board would not advance the task force's charter amendment as written.

  • Supervisor Chen blasts SFMTA for slashing Potrero Yard affordable housing from 465 to 100 units, calls it an 80% betrayal
