Maria Su, head of SF Children’s Dept., picked to lead school district

The San Francisco Board of Education moments ago announced that Maria Su has agreed to take the role of superintendent for up to two years after outgoing superintendent Matt Wayne’s resignation was accepted today by a 6-1 vote. The sole dissenting vote, commissioner Kevine Boggess, felt Wayne deserved to be fired rather than resigning. Mission Local is told that Wayne will receive a year’s salary, some $325,000, and health care.Su has worked in San Francisco government for more than 18 years, with the last 15 of those coming as the head of the city’s Department of Children, Youth and their Families. She had also been serving on the school stabilization team formed by Mayor London Breed on Sept. 22. Her appointment — and the promotion of Dr. Karling Aguilera-Fort, presently the senior associate superintendent of education services, as her deputy — will be formally […]

See how they run: Dolores Huerta also endorses Aaron Peskin

Dolores Huerta, the legendary labor organizer who co-founded the United Farm Workers with Cesar Chavez, has endorsed Board of Supervisors’ president Aaron Peskin in San Francisco’s mayoral race. In late September, Huerta endorsed Mayor London Breed for re-election, making this a co-endorsement.When Huerta endorsed Breed, she specifically cited her leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic. Huerta’s support of Peskin is more focused on labor rights and housing affordability. “Aaron Peskin is a fighter for workers and families — he has proven that over and over,” wrote Huerta, in a statement. “I encourage everyone to vote for Aaron Peskin for mayor if you want an effective, healthy, and affordable city that supports its families, renters, and workers fighting for a better future! Si se puede!”“I grew up in a household where, as a young kid, we didn’t eat table grapes because of […]

Striking union holds indirect discussions with Boeing about deal, helped by US government

By David Shepardson(Reuters) -A union representing striking machinists at Boeing said on Friday it is "actively engaged in indirect discussions" with the planemaker that are being facilitated by Acting U.S. Labor Secretary Julie Su."We are fully committed to these talks. It is our responsibility to attempt to reach a resolution," said the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 751 in a social media post.Around 33,000 of Boeing's unionized West Coast workers, most in Washington state, have been on strike since Sept. 13, demanding a 40% wage increase spread over four years and halting production of the planemaker's best-selling 737 MAX and its 767 and 777 widebodies.The talks are the first sign of movement in the more than one-month-old strike since Boeing on Oct. 8 withdrew its latest offer that included a 30% wage increase over four years, after […]

Nima Momeni’s sister testifies her brother didn’t kill Bob Lee

A year and a half after Nima Momeni allegedly killed Cash App founder Bob Lee, Momeni’s sister, Khazar, broke her silence today and testified in court that he did no such thing. Khazar Momeni has been at the center of the ongoing murder case: Prosecutors claim Momeni stabbed Lee, angry over some inappropriate action between Lee and his sister on April 3, 2024, in the hours before Lee’s stabbing. Momeni’s defense team, meanwhile, says his sister was actually assaulted by her drug dealer, Jeremy Boivin. They allege that Lee pulled a knife on Momeni, and Momeni was forced to turn it around on Lee. Subpoenaed to court by prosecutors today, Khazar, testified that she had been sexually assaulted by Boivin that night — and insisted that her brother did not kill Lee. Borzoyeh Mohazzabi, Lee’s friend who was with him earlier in the […]

Hamas leader Sinwar made ‘critical mistake’ moments before he was killed

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed moments after making a “critical mistake”, according to Israel.The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) described the 61-year-old’s final minutes in a briefing on Thursday and stressed the strategic error that the Oct 7 mastermind made by leaving the Gaza tunnel network where he had been hiding.The IDF forced him to “make this mistake” and “move like a fugitive” as they gradually closed off streets and blew up tunnels around Rafah in southern Gaza, Major Doron Spielman explained.“In fact, just yesterday he did so [made a mistake]. He left the tunnel, went into an apartment building, and [Hamas] opened fire on Israeli troops. A tank returned fire, and he was killed in that attack,” said Maj Spielman.The IDF claimed its troops restricted his movement to a “smaller and smaller area” as they advanced.Maj Spielman added that […]

New policy approved on S.F. below-market-rate condos resale

It had been two years of stressful waiting. Amy and Simon Jansuk, have been waiting for a buyer to purchase their below-market-rate condo at 270 Valencia St. since 2022. City rules have limited the sale price of below-market-rate units, meaning owners might even lose money on such sales — Mission Local wrote about the Jansuks’ plight in 2022, detailing how the city had set their sale price at $74,000 less than they’d spent on the condo.But after legislation proposed by District 7 Supervisor Myrna Melgar, they will finally have a chance to make a profit. The Planning Commission today voted 5-1 to approve an ordinance to create a waiver specifically for some below-market-rate units — like the Jansuks’ condo — that were bought for a higher price than the city is now allowing them to sell for. The waiver will only apply to […]
