Breed spearheaded the initiative to steer tens of millions of dollars from law enforcement budgets to programs aimed at providing job training, homeownership opportunities and other social and economic support for Black San Franciscans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday’s hearing was called by Supervisors Ahsha Safaí and Aaron Peskin, who are both running to unseat Breed for mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s be clear, there was a whistleblower complaint and some of those allegations seem to have been validated,” Peskin said. “What I am trying to do here is to be transparent. I think that aids in our collective goal, which is to change health outcomes [and] economic outcomes in a community that has long fought for and deserved it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor has paused funding for future contracts with the Dream Keeper Initiative — though existing contracts are still active — while an investigation into the potential misspending is underway.

This is a national problem that deserves national attention,” Mullin said. “75% of the United States could experience a major earthquake, and almost half of the U.S. population, 150 million people, reside in areas that are at risk of experiencing a damaging earthquake in the next 50 years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August, the first-term representative formally introduced the Earthquake Resilience Act, which would direct federal authorities to conduct a risk assessment of earthquake preparedness throughout the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On average, earthquakes cost the nation billions of dollars annually in building damage and associated losses,” Mullin said. “Yet despite these known losses, we still don’t have a firm understanding of how prepared communities are in this country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11999982 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/MyShakeUCBerkeley-1020x679.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The risk assessment would look at both the progress made to strengthen earthquake resilience through things like building codes and also look for any gaps in preparation, according to\u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/9375/text\"> the bill’s text.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like other cities in California, San Francisco has already taken similar steps. After the Loma Prieta quake \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1949362/how-loma-prieta-changed-earthquake-science-building-codes-and-the-bay-area\">revealed structural deficiencies\u003c/a> in unreinforced masonry buildings and wood-frame “soft story” buildings, which have residential units above ground-floor parking or retail, the city mandated a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10436483/san-franciscos-seismic-retrofit-program-finds-some-success\">seismic retrofit program\u003c/a> covering thousands of older buildings that are susceptible to crumbling during a disaster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April, Breed also directed the Office of Resilience and Capital Planning and the Department of Building Inspection to draft proposed legislation to assess potentially vulnerable \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11941631/thousands-of-buildings-in-the-bay-area-state-have-weakness-similar-to-those-damaged-in-turkey-and-syria-quake\">concrete buildings\u003c/a> and provide owners with clear retrofit standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking from the deck of the historic Klamath ferry at Pier 9, she compared the boat’s rocking to the feeling of earthquake aftershocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Loma Prieta struck, Breed was in high school. She recalled seeing fallen buildings across the city and referenced San Francisco’s recent retrofit work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s what this is about. It’s about preparedness,” Breed said. “It’s about taking an opportunity to remind the public that it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mullin’s bill, which Breed is supporting, also would direct the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program, a collaboration between several federal agencies, to develop new federal standards and guidelines for getting lifeline infrastructure systems up and running after an earthquake. Lifeline infrastructure, Mullin explained, includes things like power, water, communications and transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are more reliant than ever before on these lifeline systems to live, to work, to communicate with each other,” Mullin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lastly, the bill calls for the U.S. Geological Survey to update its seismic monitoring systems with new technology aimed at improving the predictions of aftershocks and large-magnitude earthquakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Investing in preparedness now will save lives and money in the future. That is why Congress should act to help ensure the nation is better prepared for the next disaster,” Mullin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

After the Loma Prieta quake \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1949362/how-loma-prieta-changed-earthquake-science-building-codes-and-the-bay-area\">revealed structural deficiencies\u003c/a> in unreinforced masonry buildings and wood-frame “soft story” buildings, which have residential units above ground-floor parking or retail, the city mandated a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10436483/san-franciscos-seismic-retrofit-program-finds-some-success\">seismic retrofit program\u003c/a> covering thousands of older buildings that are susceptible to crumbling during a disaster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April, Breed also directed the Office of Resilience and Capital Planning and the Department of Building Inspection to draft proposed legislation to assess potentially vulnerable \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11941631/thousands-of-buildings-in-the-bay-area-state-have-weakness-similar-to-those-damaged-in-turkey-and-syria-quake\">concrete buildings\u003c/a> and provide owners with clear retrofit standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking from the deck of the historic Klamath ferry at Pier 9, she compared the boat’s rocking to the feeling of earthquake aftershocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Loma Prieta struck, Breed was in high school. She recalled seeing fallen buildings across the city and referenced San Francisco’s recent retrofit work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s what this is about. It’s about preparedness,” Breed said. “It’s about taking an opportunity to remind the public that it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mullin’s bill, which Breed is supporting, also would direct the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program, a collaboration between several federal agencies, to develop new federal standards and guidelines for getting lifeline infrastructure systems up and running after an earthquake. Lifeline infrastructure, Mullin explained, includes things like power, water, communications and transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are more reliant than ever before on these lifeline systems to live, to work, to communicate with each other,” Mullin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lastly, the bill calls for the U.S. Geological Survey to update its seismic monitoring systems with new technology aimed at improving the predictions of aftershocks and large-magnitude earthquakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Investing in preparedness now will save lives and money in the future. That is why Congress should act to help ensure the nation is better prepared for the next disaster,” Mullin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Steeley, deputy city attorney. “We simply want to understand our permit limitations so that we can comply with them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said provisions of the Clean Water Act do not clarify how much untreated sewage can be released into local waterways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The city wants to limit [the EPA] to only regulating based on what comes out of the pipe,” said Eric Buescher, an attorney with the environmental group San Francisco Baykeeper. “And that just eliminates half of the tool kit that it uses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 90 minutes into oral arguments Wednesday, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh indicated they were behind San Francisco’s position. Kavanaugh read from an amicus brief by the Farm Bureau Federation arguing that current clean water standards “expose farmers to potentially devastating and unnecessarily costly consequences of government enforcement, action or citizen suit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But others — notably Justice Sonya Sotomayor — hinted they might prefer a narrower ruling than what the city is seeking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case began as a local dispute over San Francisco’s Oceanside wastewater discharge permit. San Francisco, along with Sacramento and New York City, is one of about 700 communities with a combined sewer, an older system that runs wastewater and stormwater through the same pipes. The systems regularly overflow during heavy rains. When San Francisco overflows — about 10 times per year, on average — it spills human waste into surrounding waters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12005020 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/BolinasBeachMarinCountyGetty1-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the Clean Water Act, San Francisco is required to have a \u003ca href=\"https://www.epa.gov/npdes/npdes-permit-basics\">permit\u003c/a> “to ensure that the discharge does not hurt water quality or people’s health.” San Francisco has been disputing the terms of its permit since 2019 — first in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which \u003ca href=\"https://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2023/07/31/21-70282.pdf\">ruled against\u003c/a> the city, and now at the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city has said upgrading its sewer system would cost ratepayers over $10 billion, estimating between 8,000-11,000 people would no longer earn enough to cover basic needs and be forced into poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trade groups representing industries from mining to pork production filed \u003ca href=\"https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/23/23-753/300371/20240212132258538_23-753%20Amicus%20Brief.pdf\">briefs\u003c/a> with the Court stating that standards based on water quality could expose them to crippling penalties and litigation.

Mandelman voted no because he said the resolution came too late to make a difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As far as I can tell, it was entirely symbolic and a declaration,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court will present a decision before its current term ends in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

That’s a shadow of the more than $600,000 that recall supporters had put forward as of last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor’s critics, meanwhile, have pointed to the city’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12008329/oakland-coliseum-sales-new-deal-draws-council-members-ire-over-lack-of-transparency\">massive budget deficit\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12006211/sad-devastated-bittersweet-oakland-as-fans-process-feelings-during-teams-final-week-of-home-games\">loss of the Oakland A’s\u003c/a>, and the FBI’s recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11991242/fbi-agents-raid-home-of-oakland-mayor-sheng-thao\">raid of Thao’s home\u003c/a>, though no criminal charges have been filed against her in that matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patrice Waugh of the Oakland branch of the NAACP, which has endorsed the recall effort, said her group is intent on change. While she acknowledged that Thao inherited many challenges, she said she believes things are getting worse, citing homelessness, Thao’s firing of former Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong and the long process for finding a permanent replacement, and crime’s impact on small businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waugh added that she doesn’t believe crime rates are truly down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I beg to differ,” she said. “I think folks are afraid to call in. Folks are not even calling in [to 911] because their \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12003276/oaklands-beleaguered-911-dispatch-still-far-behind-state-standards-but-improving\">calls are not being taken\u003c/a>. Folks are not going into the police station to file reports anymore. Because nothing is happening under this leadership.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the press conference, Thao touted what she considers her achievements since taking the helm of a troubled city: fewer homicides, closing encampments while offering housing to those who want it, grants and investments in the Department of Violence Prevention, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/10/13/1205739482/to-rein-in-climate-change-biden-pledges-7-billion-to-regional-hydrogen-hubs\">hydrogen hubs\u003c/a>, affordable housing, cleanliness and new jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thao warned of instability and a rotating cast of mayors if the recall campaign succeeds in removing her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Five mayors in three years,” Thao said. “If you thought that crime was high in 2023 and 2022 and 2021, imagine a city with no leadership.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
