"Neighbors has been spending lavishly this election cycle. So far, it has paid out over $300,000 to defeat the 'Overpaid CEO' tax, a business tax proposal by the city's labor unions."

Jay Cheng is resigning from his position as executive director of Neighbors for a Better San Francisco, a group he co-founded. He did not provide a reason for his departure.
