""The steps we're taking today are a painful but necessary continuation of the work we've been doing since last year to manage taxpayer dollars responsibly and deliver the best possible services for San Franciscans.""
""That work will continue as we prepare a responsible budget that sets up our city for a broad and durable economic recovery.""
""We have to take action now or be forced to do twice as much in the coming years.""
""Our solution, Proposition D the overpaid CEO act, which will be on the June ballot, is a fair solution in the long-term.""
Mayor Daniel Lurie began layoffs in San Francisco, impacting 127 city workers as part of efforts to address a $400 million budget deficit. Notices varied from 30 to 60 days. Lurie stated that these actions are necessary for responsible management of taxpayer dollars and to ensure quality services. He plans to cut 500 jobs and reduce salary and benefit spending by $100 million. Further layoffs may occur pending budget negotiations, while public-sector unions support Proposition D to tax high executive salaries for budget funding.
