Thank you to President @shamannwalton for appointing me as Chair of the Budget & Finance Committee. It is an honor

I'm ready to get to work w my colleagues & Mayor @LondonBreed to support & invest in our residents, workers & small businesses to recover, rebuild & reform.
Our budget is a moral document that reflects our values.

Now more than ever we need to support those who have been most impacted by this pandemic and economic crisis.
Tenants, workers, small businesses, Latino, Black, API, LGBT residents, and everyone disproportionately impacted by this crisis, we have to step up for you.

With support from local, state & federal govts, I'm hopeful we can rebuild our city, and chart a better path.
We also must increase efficiencies, and fight waste and corruption.

It is more important than ever that our government spend our resources in a way that is targeted, smart, streamlined, focused on effective, essential city services with accountability and transparency.

My 91 and 92 year old Grandparents are, like so many San Franciscans, struggling to get straightforward information on the vaccine. This is not acceptable, for them or anyone, I'm working to increase & improve transparency, speed, communication. There are no answers right now. Image
Like so many other people, I haven't seen my grandparents in person in nearly a year. The last time was my Grandpa's 92nd birthday.
In other states, who are operating with the same priority tiers, many people like my Grandparents (and yours) have already been vaccinated or are at least signing up to be. Entirely unclear why this isn't happening in CA, with so few answers. We have to get moving.

Where are San Francisco or Bay Area's mass vaccination sites?

SF Department of Public Health says they are "not tasked w widespread distribution across the entire City." Ok, then who is?

Tomorrow I am calling for a public hearing and an actual plan to answer these questions.
Incredible and unacceptable how few answers our residents are being given right now. It really does seem that other counties, states, cities have been able to provide a lot more information and clarity, and mass distribution. Our city Health Department should too.
"Talk to your healthcare provider" is an entirely and dangerously inadequate answer at this stage.

Awful fear mongering against much needed, overdue 100 unit bldg for low income families in the Sunset

These families will come from all over SF, incl Sunset, not just the TL, tho TL families are amazing, wonderful neighbors

We need many more buildings like this all over SF. Image
An organization having "Tenderloin" in its name does not mean that's where residents are from. TNDC develops all over SF.

And any neighborhood would be lucky to have Tenderloin families as neighbors. They will only add to and enrich a community.
And actually the target population for this building is not formerly homeless, as many other TNDC bldgs are (which is also important and needed, incl in the sunset), its essential workers making 27k-102k. The fearmongering is entirely ridiculous. This is a hugely positive thing.

SF's health order has been changed to now allow people to interact outdoors with 1 person from another household to:

- Take a walk
- Hang out at the park
- Play low-contact sports like golf, tennis, pickleball, and bocce ball

This is a change.

In-person dating is no longer banned in San Francisco.

But you can only date outdoors and no double dates.
And wear a mask. No kissing.

Today I am having another hearing--demanding urgency, a bigger coordinated comprehensive plan from city departments, accountability, for the most deadly epidemic impacting SF residents right now--the drug overdose epidemic

It's at PSNS committee, we expect it to be heard at 11am
Over 550 people have died of drug overdose thru Oct of this year. That's nearly 2 a day. Most of them had fentanyl in their system. That's nearly triple the number of 2 years ago. Tragic, preventable, horrific.
The brutality of it is so clear for everyone to see. There are people who are working tirelessly to save lives. But what we are doing is not enough right now, it is inadequate on all fronts. And it is only going to keep getting worse unless we have bigger and better responses.

Our legislation to keep SIP hotels open passed out of Committee tonight.

With COVID-19 cases spiking, cold coming, shelters mostly closed, lack of housing placements available, FEMA reimbursing most of cost--its common sense to keep hotels open for health, safety, humanity.
Thanks to the many people who called in, organized, including the SIP residents, operators, providers, workers.
The legislation passed 2-1. It'll take more work to get a veto-proof majority to pass it at the Board next week.
