City and County of San Francisco
Paid Arguments
B
Shall the City eliminate from its Charter the requirement that each member of the Board of Supervisors have two aides?
Staffing levels in City offices should be set according to need and available funding, not by some arbitrary figure in the City Charter. Proposition B ensures that this can happen.
Vote Yes on B
San Francisco Tomorrow
The true source of funds for the printing fee of this argument is San Francisco Tomorrow.Last year, the Board of Supervisors placed Prop. B on the November 2009 ballot to allow Supervisors to have an unlimited number of aides for their own offices. This measure was authored by lame duck Supervisor Jake McGoldrick. The Board of Supervisors this July also voted to approve the City's Budget ordinance.
We find it ironic that at the same time the Supervisors recently voted to eliminate public services and hundreds of jobs at City Hall, they would promote the passage of this measure to increase their own personal staffs.
Nine years ago, a similar measure was rejected by a 62.5% to 37.5% margin. San Francisco voters should likewise defeat Prop. B.
Vote No on B.
