Going to go to districts with a city carved up into seven districts. Despite Public Opinion being overwhelmingly against this, or to fight the lawsuit and take on legal uncertainty and financial risk. Burbank is fighting its slavery lawsuit and has set aside 1 million for it, but that may not be enough. Santa monica has spent 9 million, and after years of litigation, the case is still in the courts or three. Find a compromise that both the school board and mr. Rafferty can live with. With mr.

Want to share with you. This morning. One being that san franciscans are showing new signs of optimism and our city no doubt faces serious challenges from the pandemic, Public Safety concerns and negative media. But despite all that, we saw a slight increase in the voters who think that the current Economic Conditions are better than a year ago. This is a very important. Thats right. And not only that, san franciscans are more optimistic about the state of our city, but they are ready to take action. Well dive into the poll results later. A bit later on.
