Supes move forward $40 million tax break for luxury hotel-while key records remain secret - 48 hills

The Board of Supes Budget and Finance Committee Wednesday sent forward without recommendation a plan to give a private developer $40 million for a hotel project that appears to be a direct violation of the San Francisco Sunshine Ordinance. Supporters of the plan, including Mayor Daniel Lurie and Sup. Matt Dorsey, say that turning an old, historic office building on Third Street into a modern hotel would help revitalize downtown.

Mayor Lurie broke law by keeping Trump call records secret, S.F. committee says

Mayor Daniel Lurie's office has violated California public-records law by refusing to release information about the mayor's October call with President Donald Trump, a committee of city public-records commissioners ruled on Tuesday. The pivotal conversation between the two men preceded the president cancelling a planned "surge" of immigration agents to the Bay Area. A three-person committee of the city's Sunshine Ordinance Task Force, the body responsible for compliance with the city's public-records law, said Tuesday that Lurie's office had broken the California Public Records Act by claiming records related to the Oct. 22 call, including any logs, transcripts, and notes, are exempt under "attorney-client privilege."
