SF Board of Supervisors Approves Four-Year Extension of Ferris Wheel, Rejecting Challenge
The full San Francisco Board of Supervisors — still conferencing in from their offices — spent a precious hour at Tuesday's meeting discussing and debating the extension of the contract for the Ferris wheel in Golden Gate Park. Several of them expressed some exasperation about the fact that they were spending so much time and energy on this, while several of the progressive supervisors expressed passionate justifications for why the board should have been consulted on the matter in the first place. And in the end, they voted 6-5 to let the contract stand as-is, at four years, in what will be cast as a victory for fun.
