SAN FRANCISCO SUPERVISOR ERIC MAR ALONG WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS GATHERED TODAY TO DENOUNCE A BOARD COMMITTEE VOTE TO KILL THE SO-CALLED ‘TECH TAX’. THE MEASURE WOULD HAVE ESTABLISHED A TAX ON TECHNOLOGICAL COMPANIES IN ORDER TO FUND THE CITY'S NEW AGENCY FOR SERVICES FOR THE HOMELESS AND FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS. COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS SAID THEY WERE OUTRAGED, AND CALLED FOR AN INVESTIGATION OF THE COMMITTEE’S CHAIR SUPERVISOR MARK FARELL FOR POTENTIAL ETHICS VIOLATIONS.
PACIFICA’S GREGOIRE HUET HAS THE STORY.
