Lately, Mayor Breed has been on a bit of an appointment spree, filling posts vacated by elected officials with handpicked replacements. But that privilege could soon be blunted by Prop. C, the initiative that would place new limits on recall elections.
Mayor London Breed, speaking before appointing Matt Dorsey as new District 6 Supervisor on May 9, has been on a bit of an appointment spree lately.
What Breed would choose to do with a vacant district attorney seat will likely depend on the fate of Prop. C. If it passes, its new limits would immediately apply to the District Attorney’s Office in the event of a Boudin recall.Prop. C’s highlight is its time restraint on recall efforts, ensuring that an elected official could not be recalled in the first or last year of office.
Thus, Breed would likely choose a replacement who has some free time and no interest in holding the office long term. She made that clear in her recent appointment of Matt Dorsey, the former spokesperson for the San Francisco Police Department, to the vacancy left on the Board of Supervisors when Matt Haney won a seat in the State Assembly.
