SAN FRANCISCO
Lee Heidhues 2.2.2024
San Francisco is sinking into a political sinkhole of intolerance and name calling. Garry Tan has led the charge. Mayor Breed, her allies and groups like Grow SF are coming away unscathed.
In the uproar surrounding Garry Tan and his January 27, 2024 violent Tweet wishing violence on San Francisco’s Progressive supervisors there has been total silence from Mayor London Breed.
A silence which has been copied by those in her political circle and San Franciscans who believe the unhinged behavior of Garry Tan is acceptable election year rhetoric.
It is not.
Garry Tan is on the Board of Directors of GrowSF and a financial contributor to this advocacy organization.
We have heard not a word from GrowSF which is leading the charge to further upend the political order in San Francisco. GrowSF is currently pushing hard to defeat Progressives in this years’ election cycle. https://growsf.org/
GrowSF is actively promoting Mayor Breed’s March 2024 ballot measure ‘E’. If passed by the voters it will give more power to the San Francisco Police Department and weaken Police Commission oversight of the cops.
This is a crew lacking any ethical moorings which accepted Garry Tan’s money and worked for the 2022 Recalls of three members of the San Francisco School Board and District Attorney Chesa Boudin.
They have just begun their destruction derby of the political order in a town which likes to think itself progressive.
