[Sustain] CleanPowerSF: Reports On Avalos Blocking Mayor From Grabbing CleanPowerSF Reserve Fund

[Eric Brooks]

Hi all,

Today San Francisco Supervisor John Avalos led a successful vote at the 
SF Budget and Finance Committee (I believe for the first time in the 
history, to reject the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission 
(SFPUC)'s entire budget, in order to leverage the Mayor to engage in 
negotiations about the $19.5 million CleanPowerSF reserve fund, which 
the Mayor attempted to raid for other programs.

Here are three early reports on the vote from the SF Chronicle, Examiner 
and Guardian:
