San Francisco Mayor London Breed is willfully engaging in a massive disruption of a critical food supply to a forgotten segment of the City’s citizenry.
In a blatantly mean spirited budget slashing maneuver, putting the welfare of an already well paid San Francisco Police Department and catering to her most reactionary backers, the Mayor has thrown a large segment of the population to the proverbial pangs of hunger.
Slashing the budget for the San Francisco Marin Food bank is a craven crass cruel political move.
Breed’s priorities are lavishing money on the cops and the City’s Swells. The Jay Hotel will be a playground for Breed’s wealthy backers. Its restaurant & bar unattainable to Breed’s vulnerable constituents.
Breed’s 40% cut to pop-up pantries is disastrous.
Earlier in the year Breed happily posed in her Marie Antoinette ensemble. One can only assume her “Let ’em eat cake” wardrobe is no joke.
