Nepo-baby Mayor Lurie has launched his website promoting his executive power grab.
And it prominently features coverage from the SF Standard - the outlet funded/created by billionaire Michael Moritz, who has also donated $2 million to the measures.
This is the new billionaire playbook: parallel media they control to support their anti-worker agenda.

Screenshot of a bunch of newspaper quotes promoting Lurie's ballot measures. 3 of the 4 are from the San Francisco Standard
Screenshot of the bottom of the webpage with Clean Up City Hall logo and disclosure: "Paid for by Clean Up City Hall, Mayor Lurie's Ballot Measure Committee. Committee Top Funders: 1. Michael Moritz ($2,000,000); 2. John Pritzker ($1,000,000); 3. Chris Larsen ($1,000,000). Financial disclosures are available at sfethics.org."

Clean Up City Hall
Over time, San Francisco’s governing document - called the city charter - has grown to 548 pages, making us the most bureaucratic city in the country. Departments are siloed, decision-making is slow, and accountability is weak, while confusing ballot measures trap the city in ineffective policies fo

So I need a new headshot for a conference I’m speaking at in June and I’m short on time so I fooled around with my camera last night (ooh-err, missus) and narrowed it down to three options…

Extreme close-up of yours truly (generic white passing guy with shaved head, stubble, and black-rimmed glasses) looking slightly off camera with a smirk on his face. Is he deep in thought? Is he constipated? I guess we’ll never know.
Same guy. Looks a bit more puzzled. His mouth is open. Maybe he’s about to say something profound. Or maybe he just realised he left the oven on. Either way, hope he doesn’t catch any flies.
Now he’s serious. Looking straight into the camera. Very intense. Like how you’d confront a seagull that stole your chips.
