democrats+large sums of cash=grift. happens every time.
I read from Michael Shellenberger that the SF mayor would now like to crack down on this (she didn’t before), but she can’t because of the “weak mayor” system the SF has.
In a “weak mayor” system the city is ruled by idiotic committees and she would need 2/3+1 votes to fire these committees.
I guess this system could have merits in some cases, but it is certainly a pain in the ass of SF now.
