San Francisco's new Planning Department director, Sarah Dennis Phillips, has had a rocky start after her appointment led to a walkout from half of the Planning Commission. The process of her selection raised eyebrows due to its lack of transparency, as commissioners received her resume only the night before the vote, and no other candidates were considered. This situation highlights broader concerns about governance in SF City Hall, amidst a backdrop of political maneuvering following the resignation of former director Rich Hillis.
The abrupt decision-making and lack of transparency surrounding Sarah Dennis Phillips's appointment have raised significant concerns among the Planning Commission, leading to chaos at her approval vote.
Commissioner Gilbert Williams articulated the commission’s frustration, stating, 'We just walked out of the hearing so that will let you know how we feel about it,' highlighting the discontent with the process.
