"content": "\u003cp>Forty six people died by overdose in San Francisco last month, slightly more than the previous month but still fewer than the same time last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, San Francisco has experienced about 20% fewer overdose deaths to date this year than in the same period of 2023. Over the course of 2024, the number of monthly deaths has largely ticked down from a high of 71 in January.

A vote was brought against then-Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi in 2012 after he pleaded guilty of one count of misdemeanor false imprisonment of his wife. The city’s ethics commission \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/73516/does-mirkarimi-have-the-3-votes-he-needs-on-the-board-of-supervisors\">found that Mirkarimi committed official misconduct\u003c/a> and Mayor Ed Lee suspended him. Mirkarimi was ultimately reinstated when \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Ross-Mirkarimi-to-keep-job-supes-decide-3934169.php\">only seven supervisors voted in favor\u003c/a> of removing him permanently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Mateo County, Corpus has alleged she believes the board is overstepping its authority by asking voters to approve a charter amendment. An argument filed \u003ca href=\"https://smcacre.gov/media/7598/download?attachment\">against the measure\u003c/a> calls it “an illegal maneuver that will not survive a court challenge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Dec. 2 meeting where the board approved putting the measure up for a special election, Thomas “Tip” Mazzucco, an attorney appearing on behalf of Corpus, asked the board for a delay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a lot of uncertainty about the process. I ask that you continue this matter to protect the sheriff’s rights, because it’s the right thing to do,” he said. “This is premature for you to usurp the authority of the voters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Mateo supervisors did not delay, adding the \u003ca href=\"https://smcacre.gov/elections/march-4-2025-special-election\">amendment measure to the March 2025 ballot\u003c/a>, with signatures from U.S. Reps. Anna Eshoo and Kevin Mullin, Supervisor Noelia Corzo and the heads of the two unions representing deputies and sergeants in the San Mateo Sheriff’s Office in favor of her removal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eliot Storch, secretary of the San Mateo County Deputy Sheriff’s Association, said the union is supporting the amendment through its political action committee, \u003ca href=\"https://www.almanacnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Law-Enforcement-Against-Corruption-by-San-Mateo-Deputy-Sheriffs-Association_fppc410_201_09-12-2024.pdf\">Law Enforcement Against Corruption\u003c/a>. He expects people to turn out to vote, even though they just went through a presidential election cycle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This isn’t something that’s a distant thing in Washington, D.C. This is something right here,” Storch said. “The people who live here and who interact with the sheriff’s office and our deputies and correctional officers, they’re the ones who are affected by this, and so we want them to understand what’s going on, why Sheriff Corpus’ behavior is so bad and why she needs to be removed, and hope that they will then vote accordingly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Storch said people are still “holding out hope” that Corpus “will see the light” and resign before the amendment or recall are put to voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Citing the previous legal challenge out of San Bernardino County, the \u003ca href=\"https://scocablog.com/sheriff-removal-procedures/\">California Constitution Center in 2021\u003c/a> examined the ways counties can remove sheriffs and found a charter amendment with a four-fifths board vote and simultaneous recall is legal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Multiple means of removing a sheriff are not conflicting, or mutually exclusive. So while general law counties must use the state’s existing recall procedure (and are probably limited to that remedy), charter counties… have far greater flexibility to use the recall or some other removal procedure. The bottom line is that California sheriffs are not exempt from removal before their term expires,” the center concluded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that rarely happens, as sheriffs can’t be recalled just for any reason.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12015628\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 475px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12015628\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/image1-e1732313039320.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"319\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/image1-e1732313039320.png 475w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/image1-e1732313039320-160x107.png 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A picture from retired Superior Court Judge LaDoris H.

You don’t ever get a recall because the sheriff has been too violent, too tough, or has killed too many people or their officers are committing misconduct.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her investigation, retired Judge LaDoris Cordell had \u003ca href=\"https://www.smcgov.org/ceo/news/county-supervisors-consider-seeking-sheriffs-immediate-resignation-over-findings\">several sustained findings\u003c/a> against Corpus, including Corpus using racial and homophobic slurs in the workplace; she and her executive team engaging in retaliation and intimidation; and she and former Executive Director Victor Aenlle are in a romantic relationship that creates a conflict of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Recalling a California sheriff is a rare feat\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>San Mateo supervisors have also announced that a recall campaign against Corpus is underway, which will require about 46,000 signatures to get on the ballot. County officials estimate it wouldn’t be \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12016445/san-mateo-county-board-asks-voters-for-authority-to-remove-sheriff-christina-corpus\">until April 2026\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recall campaigns against sheriffs died due to a lack of signatures in both Shasta and Santa Cruz counties in 2012. An \u003ca href=\"https://recallelections.blogspot.com/2013/09/california-high-failure-rate-results-in.html\">analysis of a failed sheriff recall\u003c/a> in Lake County in 2013 found the most common reason signatures were invalidated — 8.6% of all signatures — was because the signee was not registered to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recall effort against San Francisco’s Mirkarimi was \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Sheriff-Ross-Mirkarimi-recall-in-works-4018582.php#ixzz2BlSRiyKl\">hinted at in 2012\u003c/a> but never materialized, along with one \u003ca href=\"https://voicesofmontereybay.org/2021/02/26/bernal-target-of-recall/\">in Monterey County in 2021\u003c/a>, when Sheriff Steve Bernal chose to retire. Monterey County supervisors censured him over allegations he misused funds but, as a non-charter county, they couldn’t remove him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last time citizens tried to recall a California sheriff was in Sonoma County in 2017. \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/sonoma-county-sheriff-steve-freitas-announces-early-retirement/\">Then-Sheriff Steve Freitas resigned\u003c/a>, citing medical issues, before the deadline for the recall to collect 35,000 valid signatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes sheriffs just resign rather than go through the process,” Pishko said. “If the situation is bad enough, the sheriff will simply resign and then no recall is necessary.”\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside tag='recall-election' label='More Recall Coverage']\u003c/span>A search of newspaper archives found just one successful recall campaign against a California sheriff. In December 1974, Plumas County Sheriff W.C. “Abby” Abernethy “retired” for six days before being sworn in for his sixth term, according to the \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.newspapers.com/image/162352450/?match=1&terms=Sheriff%20W.C.%20%E2%80%9CAbby%E2%80%9D%20Abernethy%20recall\">Feather River Bulletin\u003c/a>\u003c/em>. The move allowed him to collect his pension while drawing a salary of $29,346 a year, $178,390 in today’s dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some taxpayers didn’t like the double-dipping, so they gathered the required 500 signatures to put the recall on a 1976 ballot. After 21 years in office, Abernethy was recalled, losing by just 2% of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spivak said it’s not surprising that there aren’t many recalls against sheriffs, because of two main reasons. One, there’s only 58 serving in the state at a time, compared to the thousands of people serving on school boards or city councils across the state, so other offices are more likely to face a recall based on sheer numbers alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The other problem is that, because there’s one sheriff, that means they’re elected by the whole county, so you need a lot more signatures,” he said. “You need just an enormous number of signatures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While San Mateo County officials have estimated they need 46,000 signatures to get Corpus’ recall onto a 2026 ballot, Spivak projects they should plan to gather around 54,000 if they want to be successful, as 20% of signatures submitted for recalls typically don’t meet the requirements and are tossed out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Timing of the election also impacts a recall’s success. Spivak said of the more than 1,000 recall elections in the U.S. since he began tracking them in 2011, 67% succeeded on a general or primary election day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spivak said San Mateo is right to use its authority as a charter county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That makes a lot of sense to go with a charter amendment,” he said. “If you can, it’s much easier and a lot less costly.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

A vote was brought against then-Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi in 2012 after he pleaded guilty of one count of misdemeanor false imprisonment of his wife. The city’s ethics commission \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/73516/does-mirkarimi-have-the-3-votes-he-needs-on-the-board-of-supervisors\">found that Mirkarimi committed official misconduct\u003c/a> and Mayor Ed Lee suspended him. Mirkarimi was ultimately reinstated when \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Ross-Mirkarimi-to-keep-job-supes-decide-3934169.php\">only seven supervisors voted in favor\u003c/a> of removing him permanently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Mateo County, Corpus has alleged she believes the board is overstepping its authority by asking voters to approve a charter amendment. An argument filed \u003ca href=\"https://smcacre.gov/media/7598/download?attachment\">against the measure\u003c/a> calls it “an illegal maneuver that will not survive a court challenge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Dec. 2 meeting where the board approved putting the measure up for a special election, Thomas “Tip” Mazzucco, an attorney appearing on behalf of Corpus, asked the board for a delay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a lot of uncertainty about the process. I ask that you continue this matter to protect the sheriff’s rights, because it’s the right thing to do,” he said. “This is premature for you to usurp the authority of the voters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Mateo supervisors did not delay, adding the \u003ca href=\"https://smcacre.gov/elections/march-4-2025-special-election\">amendment measure to the March 2025 ballot\u003c/a>, with signatures from U.S. Reps. Anna Eshoo and Kevin Mullin, Supervisor Noelia Corzo and the heads of the two unions representing deputies and sergeants in the San Mateo Sheriff’s Office in favor of her removal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eliot Storch, secretary of the San Mateo County Deputy Sheriff’s Association, said the union is supporting the amendment through its political action committee, \u003ca href=\"https://www.almanacnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Law-Enforcement-Against-Corruption-by-San-Mateo-Deputy-Sheriffs-Association_fppc410_201_09-12-2024.pdf\">Law Enforcement Against Corruption\u003c/a>. He expects people to turn out to vote, even though they just went through a presidential election cycle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This isn’t something that’s a distant thing in Washington, D.C. This is something right here,” Storch said. “The people who live here and who interact with the sheriff’s office and our deputies and correctional officers, they’re the ones who are affected by this, and so we want them to understand what’s going on, why Sheriff Corpus’ behavior is so bad and why she needs to be removed, and hope that they will then vote accordingly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Storch said people are still “holding out hope” that Corpus “will see the light” and resign before the amendment or recall are put to voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Citing the previous legal challenge out of San Bernardino County, the \u003ca href=\"https://scocablog.com/sheriff-removal-procedures/\">California Constitution Center in 2021\u003c/a> examined the ways counties can remove sheriffs and found a charter amendment with a four-fifths board vote and simultaneous recall is legal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Multiple means of removing a sheriff are not conflicting, or mutually exclusive. So while general law counties must use the state’s existing recall procedure (and are probably limited to that remedy), charter counties… have far greater flexibility to use the recall or some other removal procedure. The bottom line is that California sheriffs are not exempt from removal before their term expires,” the center concluded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that rarely happens, as sheriffs can’t be recalled just for any reason.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12015628\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 475px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12015628\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/image1-e1732313039320.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"319\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/image1-e1732313039320.png 475w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/image1-e1732313039320-160x107.png 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A picture from retired Superior Court Judge LaDoris H.

In December 1974, Plumas County Sheriff W.C. “Abby” Abernethy “retired” for six days before being sworn in for his sixth term, according to the \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.newspapers.com/image/162352450/?match=1&terms=Sheriff%20W.C.%20%E2%80%9CAbby%E2%80%9D%20Abernethy%20recall\">Feather River Bulletin\u003c/a>\u003c/em>. The move allowed him to collect his pension while drawing a salary of $29,346 a year, $178,390 in today’s dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some taxpayers didn’t like the double-dipping, so they gathered the required 500 signatures to put the recall on a 1976 ballot. After 21 years in office, Abernethy was recalled, losing by just 2% of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spivak said it’s not surprising that there aren’t many recalls against sheriffs, because of two main reasons. One, there’s only 58 serving in the state at a time, compared to the thousands of people serving on school boards or city councils across the state, so other offices are more likely to face a recall based on sheer numbers alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The other problem is that, because there’s one sheriff, that means they’re elected by the whole county, so you need a lot more signatures,” he said. “You need just an enormous number of signatures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While San Mateo County officials have estimated they need 46,000 signatures to get Corpus’ recall onto a 2026 ballot, Spivak projects they should plan to gather around 54,000 if they want to be successful, as 20% of signatures submitted for recalls typically don’t meet the requirements and are tossed out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Timing of the election also impacts a recall’s success. Spivak said of the more than 1,000 recall elections in the U.S. since he began tracking them in 2011, 67% succeeded on a general or primary election day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spivak said San Mateo is right to use its authority as a charter county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And we’re leaving at a high point. Muni is faster and more frequent and more reliable than it has been in decades,” Tumlin told KQED. “I have such an incredible crew at the MTA who’s ready to step it up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tumlin stepped into the role in 2019 and has steered the public transportation agency through \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12014573/sf-muni-dire-need-funding-without-cuts-could-be-devastating\">one of its worst fiscal crises\u003c/a> in recent history. Despite recent improvements in ridership after a steep drop-off during the pandemic, SFMTA is facing a nearly $300 million deficit starting in 2026 after state and federal relief is exhausted — leaving a major problem in the lap of Tumlin’s successor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every single one of Muni’s main sources of revenue has declined as a result of work from home, particularly our downtown parking garage revenue,” Tumlin said of what’s driving the fiscal crisis. “I would argue there is no path for economic recovery in San Francisco without a strong Muni.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFMTA is working on a regional ballot measure for 2026 to fund public transit across the nine Bay Area counties.

It also shows that overtime for special events and backfill, in particular, ballooned 592% from fiscal year 2018–19 to 2022–23.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFPD has a total budget of approximately $821 million, up nearly $200 million since 2020. However, a relatively small proportion of staff have clocked the majority of overtime hours. In fiscal year 2022–23, just 209 (12%) of sworn officers who worked overtime accounted for nearly one-third of SFPD’s total overtime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“SFPD does not adequately control staff use of overtime or monitor and enforce established overtime limits,” the report reads. “Overall, we found a lack of both internal and external accountability for overtime limit violations and excessive overtime at SFPD. The Department has not taken sufficient steps to enforce its overtime limits, and violations typically do not result in consequences or corrective action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a written response to the audit, Chief Bill Scott said that the use of overtime in SFPD “is directly tied to the current understaffing of the Department,” which he said is short by at least 274 officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a necessary stopgap measure, the SFPD has been using overtime to backfill our patrol and investigation units to ensure San Francisco remains one of the safest cities in the country,” Paulina Henderson, SFPD’s public information officer, said in an email. “As we continue to rebuild our ranks, overtime hours will decrease, saving the city money and giving our incredibly hard-working officers a much-needed break.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12012421 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/2016Election1-1020x765.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report not only highlights the vast increase in overtime costs but also “potential abuse patterns” over how officers are taking sick and injury-related leave. Sick leave used by SFPD officers increased by 77% in the five years the audit reviewed, which overlapped with the COVID-19 pandemic. The report suggests that officers were more likely to use sick days on weekends “to avoid weekend duties” and that “SFPD did not enforce existing absenteeism policies or adequately monitor attendance during the audit scope period.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sick leave is directly tied to overtime use because SFPD must backfill positions when officers are unable to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Excessive overtime hours pose risks to public safety and officer health … and may generate unnecessary financial costs for the City,” the report reads. “SFPD must improve its oversight, reporting, and compliance with overtime policies to mitigate the risks associated with excessive overtime, including increased liability, impaired officer decision-making, and other negative health and public safety impacts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Auditors also took a look at two specific initiatives where the police department has relied on overtime spending to increase police presence in a designated area. Those include the Union Square Safe Shopper Initiative and the Tenderloin Triangle Initiative. In both cases, the additional overtime led to no significant improvement in 911 response times or overall crime trends, according to the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preston, who called for the audit in 2023, slammed SFPD for weak oversight and urged incoming supervisors to follow through on efforts to ensure police spending is lawful and efficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I knew it was bad, but not this bad,” Preston said in an email statement. “The violation of laws and contracts, the lack of oversight, and the abuse of overtime are alarming and require immediate intervention and oversight.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The report suggests that officers were more likely to use sick days on weekends “to avoid weekend duties” and that “SFPD did not enforce existing absenteeism policies or adequately monitor attendance during the audit scope period.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sick leave is directly tied to overtime use because SFPD must backfill positions when officers are unable to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Excessive overtime hours pose risks to public safety and officer health … and may generate unnecessary financial costs for the City,” the report reads. “SFPD must improve its oversight, reporting, and compliance with overtime policies to mitigate the risks associated with excessive overtime, including increased liability, impaired officer decision-making, and other negative health and public safety impacts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Auditors also took a look at two specific initiatives where the police department has relied on overtime spending to increase police presence in a designated area. Those include the Union Square Safe Shopper Initiative and the Tenderloin Triangle Initiative. In both cases, the additional overtime led to no significant improvement in 911 response times or overall crime trends, according to the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preston, who called for the audit in 2023, slammed SFPD for weak oversight and urged incoming supervisors to follow through on efforts to ensure police spending is lawful and efficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I knew it was bad, but not this bad,” Preston said in an email statement. “The violation of laws and contracts, the lack of oversight, and the abuse of overtime are alarming and require immediate intervention and oversight.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But without making necessary budget adjustments elsewhere, the district has been spending beyond its means to cover these new wages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a crisis that we very intentionally created because we decided as a board that we absolutely needed to prioritize giving increased compensation to all of our employees because people are leaving education, costs are rising around the Bay Area,” Davis said. “We needed to give raises to all of our employees, even though we didn’t have the resources to do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The budget-balancing proposal passed by the board on Wednesday gives the district permission to implement 30 outlined cost-cutting solutions into the 2025–26 budget. Those include centralizing contracts, both with service manufacturers — like those that provide copiers — and community agencies. Both have historically been managed by school sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other options are to reduce schools’ discretionary funding, potentially eliminating some positions and reducing the majority of overtime pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The motion passed with four votes.

This isn’t conjecture. There is not $95 million worth of investments, staff — support and central office — to get you out of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
