Twelve minutes before the San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a final report with recommendations for African American reparations on Tuesday, a cluster bomb of phone calls during public comments hit the chamber with vitriolic racist and antisemitic rants.
It was the third such incident in the Bay Area this month, following a series of hate-filled comments at Sonoma County Board of Supervisors meetings on Sept. 12 and Sept. 19. That county's board responded by switching back to pre-pandemic rules, when public comment could only be delivered in-person or through email. Now, it looks like San Francisco's board is on track to do the same.
After the meeting, Peskin introduced a rule change to eliminate remote public comment, which will be considered by the board's rules committee Oct. 9 and possibly brought for board approval Oct. 10. If passed, public comment will only be heard in person and through email. "I wanted to encourage the public and make it easy to participate in the workings of government decision making," Peskin said after the meeting.
