Sen. Steve Glazer of Orinda said the state should not “hold our environmental projects hostage to a fight with one progressive employer.” Sen. Connie Leyva of Chino countered that California shouldn’t want companies to succeed at the expense of workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, with regulators starting to draft the new rules, a lingering question remains. How far will California -- the first state in the nation to approve $15 minimum wage and a state that has set an ambitious goal to put 1.5 million zero emissions vehicles on the road by 2025 -- go in order to graft its blue values onto the green sector?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In politics, your oldest friends are your best friends,” said Dan Schnur, former head of California’s campaign watchdog agency and now a professor at the University of Southern California. “The tech people may have come to Sacramento with a lot of money and with an agenda that dovetails with the governor and legislators’ policy priorities, but they’re still the new guys on the block. Labor’s been there for a long, long time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now state regulators -- at both the state Air Resources Board and the Labor & Workforce Development Agency -- will hold public hearings and draft rules for certifying automakers who want their vehicles to qualify for California rebates. The Legislature will then need to approve those.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the points of contention:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>What is “fair and responsible” to auto workers?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>How will the state weigh wage and benefit standards, or training and safety requirements, against manufacturing costs?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>How will the state certify vehicles made outside of California or even out of the country, such as in Mexico and China, where wages are lower and labor regulations are less stringent? Or will automakers self-police by adhering to a code of conduct?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Dean Florez, a former Democratic state lawmaker and a member of the air board, said California can have both labor protections and environmental leadership as the state charts new territory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We shouldn’t be using public money to fund or support companies that do not meet basic worker protections,” Florez said. “We shouldn’t undercut the labor protections that we have fought for, for so many years. And I think that there is a danger in doing so; I think we would lose the confidence of the public for environmental leadership in the end.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s new requirement will apply to all automakers, but it couldn’t have come at a worse time for Tesla, a company that prides itself on innovation and disrupting the status quo. When plant workers went public with complaints about \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@moran2017j/time-for-tesla-to-listen-ab5c6259fc88\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">low pay, long hours and unsafe conditions\u003c/a>, Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk labeled labor’s tactics “\u003ca href=\"https://electrek.co/2017/02/24/tesla-union-elon-musk-addresses-employees/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">disingenuous or outright false\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While making $17 to $21 an hour is above minimum wage, Tesla employee Jose Moran noted that a living wage in the San Francisco Bay Area is a lot higher -- around $28. Musk responded that Tesla’s compensation package is higher than General Motors, Ford and Fiat when including Tesla’s employee stock program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company wouldn’t comment now, beyond referring back to what its policy director Sanjay Ranchod told lawmakers at a September hearing: “The company is committed to protecting the health and safety of its workers, and we are committed to continue and to make progress towards our goal of becoming the safest auto factory in the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the nation’s newest automaker, Tesla is also on track to be \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-02/evs-from-tesla-and-gm-may-start-losing-their-tax-credits\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the first\u003c/a> to max out on a federal tax credit of up to $7,500 per vehicle. And with its Model 3 sedans pitched as its affordable electric car at $35,000, Tesla will need California’s rebate more than ever to compete against other electric cars such as the Nissan Leaf or Chevrolet Bolt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Business boosters wonder why the state would single out clean-energy vehicles over gasoline cars for greater scrutiny when \u003ca href=\"https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/zevprog/zevprog.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">40 percent\u003c/a> of the state’s greenhouse gases come from tailpipe emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They worry Sacramento’s pro-labor stance will dissuade companies from locating or expanding in California. Already, Tesla located its first battery factory just outside the state line in Sparks, Nevada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Politicians say they want good-paying jobs, and to grow manufacturing and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, “and yet, we’re in the ironic place where Tesla is being attacked by some elected officials relative to whether or not their workers are unionized,” said Carl Guardino, head of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, a trade association representing nearly 400 Silicon Valley employers, including Tesla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is home to about 10,000 auto industry workers, virtually all from Tesla. That’s compared to 38,000 in Michigan, 24,000 in Kentucky and 20,000 in Ohio, according to the U.S. Labor Department’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.bls.gov/iag/tgs/iagauto.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bureau of Labor Statistics\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Union representatives say the goal is not to slow the production of clean energy vehicles. Rather, they maintain, if taxpayer money is being used to help sell cars, then it’s up to the state to make sure it results in good-paying jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is all part of our work at the labor movement to make sure there’s accountability for public investments,” said Angie Wei, an influential lobbyist for the California Labor Federation, the umbrella group for unions including the UAW. “If we’re going to put taxpayer money into it, then we’d sure better be getting something out of it for jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union also is trying to maintain its role as the auto industry makes big bets on electric vehicles. Just this year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/05/business/energy-environment/volvo-hybrid-electric-car.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Volvo\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2017/10/02/death-of-diesel-begins-as-gm-announces-plans-for-all-electric-future/?utm_term=.89c8dd93f339\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GM\u003c/a> announced plans to phase out conventional engines. The union can also use a win in labor-friendly California after losing an organizing effort at a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/05/business/nissan-united-auto-workers-union-mississippi.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nissan plant in Mississippi\u003c/a>, a right-to-work state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s worth noting the Nummi plant that Tesla took over in Fremont was represented by the union before the joint venture between GM and Toyota closed in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is about Tesla and it isn’t about Tesla,” Wei said. “We had a gas-and-combustion industry that for decades created good middle-class jobs. They’re now being replaced by electric vehicles. This is our new economy, and with major public investment. The question is are we going to allow the auto industry to create and maintain middle class jobs? Or are they going to become the next Walmartization of the economy?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento has placed itself at the forefront of cleaning up the environment. Gov. Jerry Brown and fellow Democratic lawmakers have \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/leaving-europe-brown-says-hes-talked-enough-wants-get-something-done/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pitched California as a model to the world\u003c/a> for reducing air pollution and greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change in direct response to the Trump administration’s anti-regulatory philosophy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California has also had a longstanding relationship with labor unions, stepping up the minimum wage and offering access to paid sick and family leave. In recent years, the California Labor Federation has successfully pushed legislation to protect immigrant workers from threats of deportation and expanded authority for the state to go after employers who skirt overtime or minimum-wage laws. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lobbying reports show Tesla spent $189,237 on lobbying in the 3-month cycle during which the bill was debated, compared to $103,351 for the labor federation.

Sen. Steve Glazer of Orinda said the state should not “hold our environmental projects hostage to a fight with one progressive employer.” Sen.

The Legislature will then need to approve those.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the points of contention:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>What is “fair and responsible” to auto workers?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>How will the state weigh wage and benefit standards, or training and safety requirements, against manufacturing costs?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>How will the state certify vehicles made outside of California or even out of the country, such as in Mexico and China, where wages are lower and labor regulations are less stringent? Or will automakers self-police by adhering to a code of conduct?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Dean Florez, a former Democratic state lawmaker and a member of the air board, said California can have both labor protections and environmental leadership as the state charts new territory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We shouldn’t be using public money to fund or support companies that do not meet basic worker protections,” Florez said. “We shouldn’t undercut the labor protections that we have fought for, for so many years. And I think that there is a danger in doing so; I think we would lose the confidence of the public for environmental leadership in the end.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s new requirement will apply to all automakers, but it couldn’t have come at a worse time for Tesla, a company that prides itself on innovation and disrupting the status quo. When plant workers went public with complaints about \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@moran2017j/time-for-tesla-to-listen-ab5c6259fc88\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">low pay, long hours and unsafe conditions\u003c/a>, Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk labeled labor’s tactics “\u003ca href=\"https://electrek.co/2017/02/24/tesla-union-elon-musk-addresses-employees/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">disingenuous or outright false\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While making $17 to $21 an hour is above minimum wage, Tesla employee Jose Moran noted that a living wage in the San Francisco Bay Area is a lot higher -- around $28. Musk responded that Tesla’s compensation package is higher than General Motors, Ford and Fiat when including Tesla’s employee stock program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company wouldn’t comment now, beyond referring back to what its policy director Sanjay Ranchod told lawmakers at a September hearing: “The company is committed to protecting the health and safety of its workers, and we are committed to continue and to make progress towards our goal of becoming the safest auto factory in the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the nation’s newest automaker, Tesla is also on track to be \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-02/evs-from-tesla-and-gm-may-start-losing-their-tax-credits\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the first\u003c/a> to max out on a federal tax credit of up to $7,500 per vehicle. And with its Model 3 sedans pitched as its affordable electric car at $35,000, Tesla will need California’s rebate more than ever to compete against other electric cars such as the Nissan Leaf or Chevrolet Bolt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Business boosters wonder why the state would single out clean-energy vehicles over gasoline cars for greater scrutiny when \u003ca href=\"https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/zevprog/zevprog.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">40 percent\u003c/a> of the state’s greenhouse gases come from tailpipe emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They worry Sacramento’s pro-labor stance will dissuade companies from locating or expanding in California. Already, Tesla located its first battery factory just outside the state line in Sparks, Nevada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Politicians say they want good-paying jobs, and to grow manufacturing and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, “and yet, we’re in the ironic place where Tesla is being attacked by some elected officials relative to whether or not their workers are unionized,” said Carl Guardino, head of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, a trade association representing nearly 400 Silicon Valley employers, including Tesla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is home to about 10,000 auto industry workers, virtually all from Tesla. That’s compared to 38,000 in Michigan, 24,000 in Kentucky and 20,000 in Ohio, according to the U.S. Labor Department’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.bls.gov/iag/tgs/iagauto.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bureau of Labor Statistics\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Union representatives say the goal is not to slow the production of clean energy vehicles. Rather, they maintain, if taxpayer money is being used to help sell cars, then it’s up to the state to make sure it results in good-paying jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is all part of our work at the labor movement to make sure there’s accountability for public investments,” said Angie Wei, an influential lobbyist for the California Labor Federation, the umbrella group for unions including the UAW. “If we’re going to put taxpayer money into it, then we’d sure better be getting something out of it for jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union also is trying to maintain its role as the auto industry makes big bets on electric vehicles. Just this year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/05/business/energy-environment/volvo-hybrid-electric-car.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Volvo\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2017/10/02/death-of-diesel-begins-as-gm-announces-plans-for-all-electric-future/?utm_term=.89c8dd93f339\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GM\u003c/a> announced plans to phase out conventional engines. The union can also use a win in labor-friendly California after losing an organizing effort at a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/05/business/nissan-united-auto-workers-union-mississippi.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nissan plant in Mississippi\u003c/a>, a right-to-work state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s worth noting the Nummi plant that Tesla took over in Fremont was represented by the union before the joint venture between GM and Toyota closed in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is about Tesla and it isn’t about Tesla,” Wei said. “We had a gas-and-combustion industry that for decades created good middle-class jobs. They’re now being replaced by electric vehicles. This is our new economy, and with major public investment. The question is are we going to allow the auto industry to create and maintain middle class jobs? Or are they going to become the next Walmartization of the economy?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento has placed itself at the forefront of cleaning up the environment. Gov. Jerry Brown and fellow Democratic lawmakers have \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/leaving-europe-brown-says-hes-talked-enough-wants-get-something-done/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pitched California as a model to the world\u003c/a> for reducing air pollution and greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change in direct response to the Trump administration’s anti-regulatory philosophy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California has also had a longstanding relationship with labor unions, stepping up the minimum wage and offering access to paid sick and family leave. In recent years, the California Labor Federation has successfully pushed legislation to protect immigrant workers from threats of deportation and expanded authority for the state to go after employers who skirt overtime or minimum-wage laws. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lobbying reports show Tesla spent $189,237 on lobbying in the 3-month cycle during which the bill was debated, compared to $103,351 for the labor federation. But labor’s might comes also from being able to mobilize its members on issues and during elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic lawmakers who struggled to prioritize the interests of two political allies will have more to soul-searching to do next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11638714\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11638714\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600-160x240.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600-240x360.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600-375x563.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Catura, 33, a battery pack line worker at Tesla. \u003ccite>(Penni Gladstone for CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Democratic Sen.

With alcohol, impairment links strongly with the amount you’ve had to drink, depending on your weight and gender, and disappears from your blood. But, according to Forman, marijuana can stay in your blood for weeks sometimes after you’ve consumed it, and THC can affect people very differently, making measuring THC not a very reliable measurement of someone’s driving ability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11638141\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11638141\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut-800x453.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut-800x453.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut-160x91.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut-1020x577.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut-1180x667.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut-960x543.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut-240x136.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut-375x212.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut-520x294.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mike Lynn, CEO of Hound Labs in Oakland, which plans to sell a marijuana breathalyzer to law enforcement agencies next year. \u003ccite>(Eli Wirtschafter/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>On average, marijuana does impair driving skills for most people, especially 20 to 40 minutes after smoking, but measuring THC isn’t a good indicator of impairment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This didn’t stop Washington and Colorado from setting a THC limit for drivers, but California doesn’t set a numerical limit on THC.

With alcohol, impairment links strongly with the amount you’ve had to drink, depending on your weight and gender, and disappears from your blood. But, according to Forman, marijuana can stay in your blood for weeks sometimes after you’ve consumed it, and THC can affect people very differently, making measuring THC not a very reliable measurement of someone’s driving ability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11638141\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11638141\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut-800x453.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut-800x453.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut-160x91.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut-1020x577.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut-1180x667.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut-960x543.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut-240x136.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut-375x212.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28661_Mike-Lynn-of-Hound-Labs-qut-520x294.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mike Lynn, CEO of Hound Labs in Oakland, which plans to sell a marijuana breathalyzer to law enforcement agencies next year. \u003ccite>(Eli Wirtschafter/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>On average, marijuana does impair driving skills for most people, especially 20 to 40 minutes after smoking, but measuring THC isn’t a good indicator of impairment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This didn’t stop Washington and Colorado from setting a THC limit for drivers, but California doesn’t set a numerical limit on THC.

"content": "\u003cp>Between the singing, the prayers and the tears at Sunday's memorial service for San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, political luminaries like Gov. Jerry Brown, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. Nancy Pelosi all spoke about Lee's life and the sacrifice he made for the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But perhaps the person with the most at stake was a relatively unknown member of the Board of Supervisors, the first politician to address the gathered crowd at City Hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Good afternoon, everyone,\" she said modestly. \"My name is London Breed, and I'm the acting mayor for the city and county of San Francisco.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"fYDsDRc06BLfgcvFVGp11Gd2tiCck5jV\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By virtue of her position as board president, Breed was thrust into a job she had not prepared for, but was rumored to be eyeing.

Working for him was all 'Parks and Rec,' no 'House of Cards,' \" Breed said, implying that Lee was not a typical Machiavellian politician.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another politician who would make Machiavelli blush reminded the crowd how Lee became mayor when then-Mayor Gavin Newsom was elected lieutenant governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I had been part of the conspiracy to get him to take the mayor's job,\" former Mayor Willie Brown joked. \"He didn't want the mayor's job.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early 2011, Brown, along with the late Chinatown power broker Rose Pak, pushed for Lee, who at that time was the city's chief administrative officer. The Board of Supervisors, unable to get six votes for a liberal successor, agreed to appoint Lee interim mayor with the understanding he wouldn't run for the job later that year. Lee broke that promise, upending the field of politicians lined up to seek the mayor's office later that year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11636597\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11636597\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/BreedSpeaks-800x530.jpg\" alt=\"London Breed, president of the Board of Supervisors and acting mayor, speaks at City Hall following the death of Mayor Ed Lee.\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/BreedSpeaks-800x530.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/BreedSpeaks-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/BreedSpeaks-1020x676.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/BreedSpeaks.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/BreedSpeaks-1180x782.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/BreedSpeaks-960x637.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/BreedSpeaks-240x159.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/BreedSpeaks-375x249.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/BreedSpeaks-520x345.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">London Breed, president of the Board of Supervisors and acting mayor, speaks at City Hall following the death of Mayor Ed Lee. \u003ccite>(Adam Grossberg/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Nearly seven years later, some liberals are still smarting from that episode, and are privately determined not to let it happen again. Many see Breed as too moderate -- a continuation of what's left of the Willie Brown machine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former San Francisco Mayor Art Agnos, whose name is mentioned as a potential interim mayor, hopes the supervisors can agree on an alternative to Breed, someone who will not turn around and run for mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have faith that the Board of Supervisors will create that kind of level playing field so that the people ultimately can make a sound decision with the best candidates next June,\" Agnos said after Lee's memorial service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But if the power brokers of the city try to manipulate the process in a way that promotes one candidate, I think it's going to do some damage to our democracy and our city,\" Agnos said, apparently referring to Brown and others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Breed has her supporters, some of whom are determined to keep her right where she is in Room 200 with the accompanying electoral advantages that come with the title.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them is Christine Pelosi, who chairs the California Democratic Party's women's caucus.

The Board of Supervisors, unable to get six votes for a liberal successor, agreed to appoint Lee interim mayor with the understanding he wouldn't run for the job later that year.
