"After reports broke late Thursday that new SF District 4 Supervisor Beya Alacaraz had paid employees under the table and misrepresented expenses on her taxes, Alcaraz resigned from her supervisor seat about four hours later. Somewhere, freshly booted supervisor Joel Engardio may be sitting with a warm brandy and chuckling to himself. Or he may have been between the hours of 5:30 pm and 9:30 pm Thursday night, when the effort to replace him turned into a full-blown, unmitigated political disaster."
"When I raised my hand to serve as supervisor, I told the mayor that it was time for someone who is from the Sunset to represent the Sunset. I believe that my community deserves someone who will work 24/7 to advocate for us, Alcaraz said in a statement. I understand that today's news stories would distract me from doing that."
Reports emerged late Thursday that newly appointed San Francisco District 4 Supervisor Beya Alacaraz had paid employees under the table and misrepresented expenses on her taxes. Alacaraz resigned from the supervisor seat about four hours after the reports surfaced. The sequence began with a 5:30 pm report citing text messages suggesting tax fraud and ended by 9:30 pm with confirmation of her resignation. Mayor Daniel Lurie requested the resignation amid questions about political qualifications and rocky management of the Outer Sunset pet shop Animal Connection, which Alacaraz owned from 2019 until selling it earlier.
