San Francisco Mayor London Breed's re-election campaign sent out an e-mail this afternoon, touting how the San Francisco Chronicle said she was the safe choice in the upcoming mayor's race. This comes a little over a day after the Chronicle published an editorial naming one of her rivals, Daniel Lurie, as the paper's pick. Mayor Breed's email didn't actually say anything that wasn't true. But it also didn't tell the whole truth... For more on this, KCBS Radio anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart spoke with KCBS Insider Phil Matier.

Comprehensive coverage of the day's news with a focus on war and peace; social, environmental and economic justice.   Officials say Israeli airstrikes have targeted areas across Lebanon, killing at least 27 people in the past 24 hours. UN Security Council held an emergency meeting after U.S. urged Israel to stop blocking Gaza aid. As the Biden administration warns Israel to increase Gaza aid or risk losing U.S. weapons funding, Palestinians in Gaza wait to see if they will receive the necessary assistance or not. New data shows 36 million Latinos are eligible to vote in 2024, could play decisive role in presidential election. The Supreme Court heard arguments today in a case between the city and count of San Francisco and the Environmental Protection Agency over clean water standards. Sam Liccardo accused opponent Evan Low of illegal ad spending in contentious South Bay congressional race. Mayor Breed announced the expansion of a successful pilot program which offers on-demand opioid-treating buprenorphine for fentanyl addiction. The post Israeli strikes kill 27 in Lebanon – October 16, 2024 appeared first on KPFA.

It's time for KCBS Radio's Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart to chat with KCBS Insider Phil Matier. The San Francisco Chronicle is endorsing philanthropist and Levi's heir Daniel Lurie in the City's mayor's race. The Chronicle said while Mayor Breed would be a safe choice, Lurie is a better choice for implementing changes needed to improve life in the City.

It's time for our daily chat with KCBS Insider Phil Matier. Phil was joined by KCBS Radio anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart. San Francisco Mayor London Breed says downtown is finally bouncing back from the pandemic. All of her challengers in the upcoming mayor's race disagree however, and blame her for its slow recovery. All this comes as the Dreamforce conference kicked off in San Francisco this week, with analysts expecting it will bring in around 45-thousand attendees and generate 93 million dollars in spending. 

The fight over a ballot measure to help firefighters heats up in San Francisco. But there's a lot more to this one than meets the eye, affecting multiple layers of the City's always complicated politics. We are talking about Proposition H, on the November ballot, which would allow San Francisco firefighters to retire with their full pension at age 55 instead of 58. The firefighters' union says too many of them are developing cancer from decades of on-the-job exposure, and allowing them to retire three years sooner will reduce that risk and save lives. Sounds straightforward enough, and most voters will probably be sympathetic enough to a campaign featuring heroic firefighters getting cancer. But the city controller and Mayor London Breed say lowering the retirement age will cost the City many millions of dollars a year in additional pension costs, and that will balloon over time, and cash-strapped San Francisco just can't afford that. So the firefighters union is going all out on this one, dropping its past support of Mayor Breed, and launching a $1.2 million dollar local ad buy today, which we were able to report exclusively on KCBS.

The San Francisco mayor's race is heating up, as a scandal over the misuse of city funds lands on Mayor Breed's desk and another candidate is hit with questions about ethics. Plus, former President Donald Trump is collecting campaign cash in California while tying the state's problems to Vice President Kamala Harris. Next Thursday, September 19th at 7 pm, KQED is teaming up with the San Francisco Chronicle to host a debate with the top candidates for mayor of San Francisco.

All of the candidates running for Mayor of San Francisco are set to square off in a debate next hour, except for one.

San Francisco Mayor Breed is announcing new legislation to put a curfew in a section of the Tenderloin district, a part of the city that is notorious for high crime, homelessness and public drug use.  In a post on X, Breed touted the measure.  "Shutting down open air drug markets requires strong enforcement and new approaches," she wrote. "Last year SFPD doubled the arrests of drug dealers from the year before. This year we are continuing that work and federal agents are bringing even more enforcement."  In a press statement from Tuesday, the Mayor's office revealed that it would introduce legislation to "prohibit some retail establishments selling prepacked food or tobacco products from operating between 12 a.m. (midnight) to 5 a.m. in part of the Tenderloin." --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/darien-dunstan3/message

The race for Mayor of San Francisco is even more crowded, now that Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin has joined the field. Peskin is the only major progressive who's challenging Mayor London Breed.

The 2024 campaign season is underway, and the race for mayor of San Francisco is heating up. One of the challengers to Mayor London Breed just announced that he's raised an impressive amount of money in a very short time, as he tries to unseat the incumbent mayor. That candidate is Daniel Lurie, founder of the nonprofit anti-poverty organization Tipping Point and a member of the Haas family, who entered the race last fall and has already racked up more than half a million dollars in campaign contributions, more than either Mayor Breed or the other candidates in the race have reported raising. Lurie has never held political office but he has an impressive record in philanthropy and various civic duties. KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern and KCBS news anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart spoke with Daniel Lurie in today's edition of The State of California.

Remember that SF Office of Reparations that once considered $5 million lump-sum payments to Black San Franciscans? Now the city can't even afford the $2 million a year to run that department, and the office is gutted in Mayor Breed's budget cuts.Very early in 2023, it made headlines nationwide that a soon-to-be-formed SF City Hall department called the Office of Reparations was possibly considering $5 million lump-sum payments to eligible Black San Franciscans, to address historical harms to the Black community.  Right-wing media went berserk over the idea, but as the SF Board of Supervisors considered the plan, it became clear that those $5 million payments were unlikely to be part of the final legislation.Though now amidst the city facing a more than $700 million deficit, that whole Office of Reparations found itself on the chopping block. And the Examiner reports that the Office of Reparations has lost all of its funding in Mayor Breed's just-announced new budget cuts.Support the show

What if the very city you adored turned a blind eye to your desperate pleas for justice? Imagine tracing your stolen possessions to a brazen fencing operation, right under the nose of law enforcement, only to be met with disinterest and apathy. This is the disconcerting reality we explore today, recounting the harrowing tale of Justin Schuck whose camera equipment was stolen in broad daylight in San Francisco.We navigate the winding alleyways of indifference and nonchalance exemplified by the San Francisco police, particularly the Tenderloin station. The city's predicament is further magnified by the audacious bike-jacking of a reputed reporter and the perplexing stance of city supervisor, Dean Preston, who managed to draw Elon Musk into the fray. Simultaneously, we run a critical eye over the controversial strategies proposed by the Office of Economic and Workforce Development to combat car break-ins - measures that seemingly shift the blame onto victims rather than targeting the actual culprits.As we journey into the depths of the city's dark underbelly, we express our frustrations at the apparent lack of progress, despite Mayor Breed's commendable attempt at setting up an anti-fencing rewards program. We shed light on the stark absence of surveillance, exemplified by a Tesla rental bereft of an onboard camera. And we touch upon a worrying trend - the city's escalating crime rates driving its residents to consider altering their political leanings. Join us in this unflinching examination of San Francisco's struggles with crime, indifference, and the desperate search for solutions.Support the show

Homelessness in San Francisco is a multifaceted issue with no easy solutions. The city's homeless encampment sweeps have been met with a wave of opposition, and we'll be exploring this controversial practice, the reasons behind it, and its impact on the city.

We'll be examining the proposed settlement framework that includes immediate filling of supportive housing slots and improving the process for filling shelter beds. Mayor Breed's stance and willingness to take the case to the Supreme Court will be under our lens. Listen closely as we unfold the shift in public perception, from sympathizing with the homeless as 'down on their luck', to acknowledging the pressing necessity for the city to address the drug use, criminal activity, and disruption to businesses associated with the encampments.

In a bizarre twist, San Francisco's Mayor London Breed is seemingly playing a game of Simon Says with downtown office developers, crying, "help us, help you!" Despite her valiant effort to tame the urban wilderness that has become the city center, a huge chunk of commercial space demands attention. A cynical smile creeps across one's face when considering the monumental task of repurposing the idle office towers—like trying to fit a round peg into a square hole. Alas, the urban knights of the real estate round table have spoken: "Clean up the streets!"Imagine that. The very stakeholders of San Francisco—the real estate tycoons, business owners, and residents—have been pleading the same thing for years, to clean up their once vibrant city. An insurmountable problem looms, however, one riddled with homelessness, dwindling police force, and a sense of chaos that permeates the city. The once bustling streets of downtown, which are home to a lion's share of the city's tax base, now resemble a ghost town—its buildings echoing the stark reality of a city on the brink.The irony of it all is that the constituents of this great city voted for this reality. They wanted to decriminalize drugs; they deemed the police force as archaic and oppressive. The result is a city grappling with a $780 million budget deficit projected for the next two years—a bitter pill to swallow. It's humorous, albeit in a dark way, to think that the same people who allowed open-air drug markets to flourish are the ones puzzled by their city's deterioration. The reality is that no amount of repurposing or reimagining can mend a city until the streets are safe, clean, and livable. So, with a touch of sarcasm and a dollop of authority, I say: "Good luck, San Francisco; you'll need it."#SanFranciscoChallenge #UrbanJungle #ReviveOrSurviveSupport the show

In an unsettling public meeting held at the United Nations Plaza, San Francisco, Mayor London Breed was targeted by a brick-throwing miscreant amidst vocal public dissent. The event, already laden with anti-police rhetoric, devolved further into chaos when a projectile struck a high school student, causing the event to terminate abruptly. However, this chaos did not obscure the serious issues at hand; the mayor's remarks had emphasized the need to curb the city's uncontrolled public drug use.Despite the disorder, Mayor Breed stood firm, reiterating her commitment to reclaim the city from the clutches of open-air drug markets. She questioned whether her detractors truly understood the gravity of the city's plight, especially concerning its surging crime rates, as the city faces an ever-increasing migration of people and businesses due to safety concerns. The incident underlines the harsh reality of San Francisco's drug crisis, reflecting a city desperate for change and a government straining to enforce it.Yet, the hurdles are significant. Even as Mayor Breed gears up to unveil her city-wide budget aimed at promoting public safety, skepticism abounds. Critics question the effectiveness of past efforts and whether new initiatives will truly bring about the required change. Nonetheless, this incident underscores the urgent need to restore public order in San Francisco, a city once known as a coastal gem but now grappling with deep-seated social issues.#SanFranciscoChaos #MayorBreedStand #PublicOrderRestorationSupport the show

Welcome to Season 4 of Beyond The Fog Radio! It's our honor to begin this season with our interview with San Francisco's Mayor London Breed. Raised in San Francisco's Fillmore District by her grandmother, Mayor Breed saw firsthand how redevelopment brought great challenges to the people in her community. She began her public service career as Executive Director of the Fillmore's African American Arts and Culture Complex. Since then, after rising through the ranks to become Mayor, she hasn't forgotten her roots in the Fillmore. She deeply understands the needs of those who are suffering, and how to resolve challenges with the least amount of harm. We're truly privileged to have interviewed Mayor Breed, and we're so very proud to share our conversation with her as a start to Season 4!
