Tuesday night, San Francisco voters betrayed their progressive image by voting strongly in favor of several ballot initiatives aimed at reducing drug usage and violence. Voters in San Francisco supported Measures E and F, which would, respectively, impose drug tests for persons receiving assistance and increase certain police powers in the city.
Among other things, Proposition E will facilitate police officers' pursuit of suspects. Additionally, it will equip the police with modern drones and cameras to help them battle crime on a regular basis more efficiently and effectively.
Additionally, Proposition F aims to assist individuals who are addicted to drugs by informing them that they would only be able to continue receiving financial welfare support from the city if they participate in a treatment program. Drug testing will be necessary to make sure they follow through.
London Breed, the mayor of San Francisco, declared the outcome a victory and supported every ballot item. Amid widespread speculation that her re-election in the city's November mayoral race is in jeopardy, the Democrat has herself retreated from radical leftist policies, such as cutting off financing for the police.
It is evident that the public wants to see improvements in public safety. I receive the sort of tools I need to keep up the job we are doing, which is exciting for me, said Breed, who is running for reelection in November.
