In the lead-up to the March 5 election, Proposition B, a controversial measure in San Francisco, has sparked significant debate. Critics, including Supervisor Matt Dorsey, have labeled Prop B as a deceptive 'Cop Tax' initiative that falsely presents itself as a public safety measure while actually proposing a future tax increase and delaying SFPD staffing improvements. Despite being a proponent of Prop B, Supervisor Ahsha Safai did not defend the measure during a Commonwealth Club Town Hall discussion, raising questions about its support. The opposition to Prop B is strong, with opponents, who call it a tax hike scheme, contributing over half a million dollars in February alone to campaign against it. Additionally, Supervisor Safai faced criticism at a press conference for opposing Mayor Breed's Prop. E, which he described as 'racist,' while encouraging progressives to support his campaign, amidst claims there's no progressive running for SF mayor.
I could write an editorial, or a soliloquy to convince you one way or another about Prop F in San Francisco. Instead, I'm going to ask you a question: Do you want your tax payer dollars to be used by the homeless to buy Fentanyl? Vote on that question. https://t.co/iq5sPnpUmh
Dude you got 12 people to show up LOL @Ahsha_Safai - Kiss your campaign GOOD BYE nobody is supporting you https://t.co/RkC6VgrobB
Opponents of Prop. B—which would bolster police staff, but require a tax—have contributed over half a million dollars to stop the measure in February alone. https://t.co/NT3djCYjLX
Proposition B’s proponents are flat-out lying about what it does. It’s a tax hike scheme masquerading as public safety. It delays progress on police staffing. And its backers led the charge to defund SFPD. Don’t buy the Cop Tax lie. VOTE NO ON PROP B! https://t.co/K1Xyuytl9f

Last night there was a town hall on the SF ballot props. Supervisor @mattdorsey showed up to tell voters to VOTE NO ON PROP B. @Ahsha_Safai, who sponsored the prop, didn't even appear to defend it. He knows he's on the wrong side of public safety and on the wrong side of voters. https://t.co/ROx9KyrGh0
There's no progressive running for San Francisco mayor. Or is there? 🤔 At a presser opposing Mayor Breed's Prop. E today, Supervisor Ahsha Safai slammed the measure as "racist" and encouraged progressives to support his campaign. https://t.co/21Wvx8OYwE
Well, tonight’s Commonwealth Club Town Hall by WE SF for the March 5 election had a telling no-show for the Prop B discussion: Sup. @Ahsha_Safai didn’t bother to defend his own measure — and no one else did, either. Don’t buy the Cop Tax lie! #StopTheCopTax and Vote NO on B! https://t.co/DDvYijQs7q

This outstanding op-ed by @MarjanPhilhour is a must-read take-down of Prop B, the dishonest #CopTax scheme that puts a future tax hike ahead of SFPD staffing. Prop B is a defund scheme masquerading as public safety. Don’t buy the Cop Tax lie! #VoteNoOnB https://t.co/Siil8hRrQ6
