Heres whats happening with San Franciscos budget

San Francisco supervisors advanced the city’s budget, restoring $41. 4 million from Mayor Daniel Lurie's proposed cuts. Of the restored funds, $26. 3 million will support nonprofit contracts previously slated for cuts, and $15 million aims to prevent layoffs of city workers, retaining 57 positions. Public protests against the proposed cuts included civil disobedience, with eleven city workers arrested and a nonprofit worker cutting her hair in protest.

District 10 Supervisor Shamann Walton condemned the budget's burden on working people, while budget chair Connie Chan emphasized the difficult sacrifices made. The budget addresses a significant $800 million deficit, with $260 million in savings from structural cuts. Future deficits are projected to increase, raising concerns about how federal cuts may affect the city. The full Board of Supervisors will vote on the budget on July 15, maintaining key programs and jobs. Ultimately, city officials face challenging financial times ahead.
