Members of the San Francisco Redistricting Commission pack up to leave the meeting early following a motion to rescind a vote after making significant progress toward approving a comprehensive map.
Jeremy Lee, J. Michelle Pierce, Chema Hernández Gil and Raynell Cooper walked out of the meeting that began Saturday at 10 a.m. and ended just before 6 a.m. on Sunday, according to Mission Local. It was quite possibly a new record for the task force. So we’re at a point in the process where we’ve pulled away from maps with numbers and letters, such as maps 4B and 4D. What is the final draft map?
The community also spoke to keeping District 8, specifically the Mission Dolores neighborhood, together. Former District 8 supervisors Mark Leno, Bevan Duffy and Scott Wiener padded the pleas with a letter highlighting the area’s history.
