Mayor Daniel Lurie's attempt to remove a key member of the Police Commission will be discussed by the full Board of Supervisors on February 25. With apparent support for his six-vote requisite, a coalition of activists, including the ACLU and the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office, is mobilizing against this action, emphasizing voter-approved measures that promote oversight and balance between city governance branches. This push for accountability comes amid concerns over corruption and mismanagement in City Hall, advocating for independent oversight over administrative actions.
In these troubling political times, when the very credibility and integrity of San Francisco City Hall has been placed at great risk by corrupt individuals and wasted expenditure of taxpayer funds, now is the time for greater independent oversight, not less.
In the June 2003 election, San Francisco voters approved Measure H, amending the city charter to require Board approval of Mayoral appointees, showing support for checks on executive power.
