San Francisco residents and officials are protesting spending cuts to housing,
child care, and other areas in Mayor London Breed’s record-high city and county
budget.

Last month, Breed released the proposed $14.6 billion budget for the next two
fiscal years, sparking pushback from city operating officials whose services
will be affected and vulnerable residents who may be affected by the cuts.



BIDEN TRIES TO SHAKE LOW MARKS ON ECONOMY WITH ‘BIDENOMICS’ PUSH

The Rent Arbitration Board’s budget is projected to decrease to less than $15
million in the upcoming fiscal year after seeing increases over the previous
years. The budget includes a proposal to reduce commercial rent tax, a decision
approved by San Francisco's voters in 2018 to fund child care and early
education. The move hopes to push businesses to occupy office spaces.

Breed defended the decision to reduce commercial rent tax, saying it “is meant
to revitalize downtown in hopes of ensuring the long-term health of this revenue
source that ultimately benefits San Francisco’s youngest children and early
educators.”

The Budget Justice Coalition, made up of advocates of residents, rallied at city
hall on Monday, calling on Breed to prioritize social services and attacking the
budget for failing to invest in affordable housing.

The Department of Early Childhood is also facing a significant budget decline,
expected to lose around $50 million, which is 8% lower than the current
operating costs.

Last Thursday, the Budget Justice Coalition protested at city hall, calling
Breed to prioritize working families.

Breed has defended the cuts, saying early education and child care programming
are still expanding and that there will be no reductions due to a large surplus
of funds from commercial rent tax funds in past years.



Breed claimed the surplus came from a lawsuit when the commercial rent tax was
passed in 2018, which meant that the city collected the taxes but couldn’t spend
it. Breed also said “having to build out infrastructure once we were able to
spend it” resulted in “a significant reserve of hundreds of millions of dollars
built up over time.”

The Ethics Commission is slated to decrease by 5%, resulting in a 40% cut to
staff over two years.

In a statement following the budget release, Ethics Commission Chairwoman Yvonne
Lee said the cuts are “unusually severe” when compared to the rest of the plan
and would have a “drastic impact” on the city agency and those who operate the
commission.

Despite cuts to multiple areas, the fiscal plan also includes substantial
increases from last year for several divisions, including a 9% increase to the
police department and an 8% increase to the Department of Public Health.

A Probolsky Research poll released last Friday showed 66% of voters disapprove
of the mayor's job performance. The poll reveals if the mayoral election was
held presently, Breed's opponent, San Francisco Supervisor Ahsha Safai, is
favored to win by 3 points in a head-to-head matchup.

Breed’s budget proposal hopes to curb the projected $780 million two-year
deficit. The plan was due on June 1 and must be signed by the Board of
Supervisors by Aug. 1, with the new fiscal year beginning on July 1.
