In February we attended a meeting to hear a panel discussion featuring panelist Rafael Mandelman, president of the board of supervisors.  The panel also included a close aide to Daniel Laurie. The mayor isn’t beholden to major donors or special interests. This independence allows him to focus on practical solutions rather than political paybacks, which has helped foster a more collaborative relationship between the Board of Supervisors and the Mayor’s office.

Now, that is something new!!
