In San Francisco, Mayor Daniel Lurie is pushing for a series of ballot measures he says will clean up City Hall. KTVU's Christian Kafton talked with the mayor and has more on why he says propositions D, E, and F will transform the city. San Franciscans are just days away from election day. We'll have to decide 11 issues on the local ballot. We have a generational opportunity to clean up City Hall. The business community. Mayor Daniel Lurie is making a push for measures D, E and F. Measures he said are aimed at reforming a dysfunctional system. D, E and F is going to help change that. It's going to deliver better results. It's going to save taxpayer money. And it's gonna deliver clear lines of accountability. Proposition D would make it harder to get issues on the ballot in part by raising the number of signatures required. Labor leaders say that move takes power away from the people. Prop D basically makes San Francisco less democratic. It also allows Only for big money to put things on the ballot, it hinders voter participation. The mayor said the measure would help create clear ballots for voters. The problem right now in our city is that elected leaders don't have incentive to work together to put good things in legislation. They throw all the divisive misleading ballot To the voters, instead of getting things done at City Hall. Measure E would expand the city administrator's duties and responsibilities and double the term to 10 years and would change how city contracts are handled. And Measure F would give the mayor's office more control over city departments, giving the mayor the ability to change staff, including firing or replacing department heads that aren't up to the job. We're going to see clear lines of accountability right now when everybody is in charge, no one is accountable. The American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California said the measure would remove checks and balances and would impact important departments, including the police commission. Quote, under Prop F, the mayor or the rules committee will be able to unilaterally remove police commissioners they each nominate without a vote of the full board. Voters will decide on whether to implement these reforms on Tuesday. Christian Kafton, KTVU, Fox 2 News.
