A budget is a moral document. And our City’s budget, recently signed into law by Mayor London Breed, is not only moral, but balanced – fiscally and ideologically. It reflects a collaborative, constructive and historic investment in addressing the biggest priorities and challenges facing our City.

Every June, the mayor presents the Board of Supervisors with a proposed budget for approval.

And finally, I also want to thank the voters of District 4 and Citywide — with all the ballots counted, Proposition G, Public Health Emergency Leave, has passed in a landslide, with more than 64% of voters supporting it. It won in every district in the City, and nearly every precinct.

Every 10 years, our City’s charter requires that we draw new district lines based on the decennial census to ensure our population per district is as evenly distributed as possible. San Francisco had at-large supervisor races until 1976 when district elections led to the election of Harvey Milk. District elections were repealed in 1980, then reinstated in 1996, taking effect in 2000.

There’s no better time to enjoy the enchantment of some of our City’s premier open spaces, and now there’s no barrier to doing it.

For decades, the plastic industry has profited from plastic pollution, fueling our dependence on plastic, and misleading us into thinking we can recycle away the problem.

As I write this, COVID-19 cases have peaked and begun falling, and we appear to have passed the worst of the surge caused by the Omicron variant.

We need to ensure our public parks are affordable and accessible to everyone, and Golden Gate Park is no exception.
