Scott Wiener Claims That Aaron Peskin Is Somehow Orchestrating the Recall Joel Engardio Campaign

"The mask is now off on the effort to recall Supervisor Joel Engardio: Aaron Peskin, who has quietly pushed the recall for months, has now formally taken it over and installed his own lieutenants."

"The recall is becoming a NIMBY effort to stop the positive progress at City Hall, where we have a Mayor and Board of Supervisors working collaboratively on housing, transit, public safety, and other key issues facing San Francisco."

The ongoing Recall Joel Engardio campaign faces turmoil as the deadline to gather 10,000 valid signatures approaches. Accusations arise from State Senator Scott Wiener, who claims Aaron Peskin is secretly managing the recall, which Peskin vehemently denies. Meanwhile, the recall's lead organizer, Vin Budhai, resigns, further indicating instability in the campaign. Wiener argues that the recall reflects a pushback against positive changes in city governance, such as housing and public safety, labeling it a NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) movement aimed at halting progress in San Francisco.
