PROP C: ROOT OUT CORRUPTION IN SAN FRANCISCO

Prop C would allow for a new inspector general position in San Francisco to create more oversight and reduce corruption that has run rampant in our city’s government in recent years. The inspector general, who would be nominated by the controller and approved by the Mayor and Board of Supervisors, would be responsible for leading investigations into potential legal violations, fraud, waste, and abuse in the city. The measure would also expand the controller’s abilities to investigate by enabling them subpoena and search warrant powers.

In recent years, San Francisco has been plagued by scandals including corruption at the Public Works Department entailing bribery. It’s critical that we make good governance improvements to City Hall to close the gaps that allow corruption to go unchecked. San Franciscans deserve a local government that runs fairly and ethically.

Let’s catch up with other big cities like New York, Chicago, and New Orleans who have inspector generals. Vote YES on Prop C!
