Public safety is not some frivolous amenity or unnecessary luxury. It is a core governmental responsibility, and despite that, some members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors have worked diligently to defund and dismantle police services in San Francisco , with predictable and even tragic results. San Franciscans are loudly demanding a change in direction.
Will the Board of Supervisors listen? Supervisor Matt Dorsey recently introduced a ballot measure that would reaffirm a minimum level of police staffing and create a $16 million fund to improve our catastrophic recruitment and retention efforts, but supervisors who have delayed, distracted, defunded, and dismantled public safety added a “poison pill” amendment to this proposal by tying it to an unnamed future tax hike. This is a failure of the extreme ideologues on the Board of Supervisors to address our police staffing crisis and, perhaps worse, burden San Franciscans with even greater taxes for a basic service we already pay for
