On todays show, a San Francisco Supervisor has resigned from the city’s Rules Committee over the city’s budget crisis, and particularly a plan that could raise police pay for veteran cops to a half million dollars. We’re joined by that Supervisor, Hillary Ronen, who represents San Francisco’s District 9, which includes the Mission, Bernal, and Portola areas of the city.
Then, we follow up on the June 20th FBI raid of the homes of Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao and David and Andy Duong, owners of California Waste Solutions, the city’s recycling contractor. Since that time – bits and pieces of why have trickled out over news headlines and social media posts. The Oaklandside has been a primary source of coverage for the Bay Area on this unfolding drama. We are joined today by Darwin BondGraham is the news editor at the nonprofit newsroom The Oaklandside.
This week’s Artist Resistance in Residence is San Francisco Poet Laureate Tongo Eisen-Martin.
