SoMa developer fee gets signed into law

As discussed earlier, the Daly Shakedown Fee was signed into law yesterday by the Board of Supervisors. From SF Gate today:

"Without naming names in the letter, Newsom was clearly chastising Supervisor Chris Daly, who represents the South of Market community and persuaded developers to agree to the high fees. The mayor wrote that the Rincon Hill project "was marred by the worst type of strong-armed 'alderman- style' tactics" and that such behavior is "simply unacceptable.""

As voters in San Francisco, we need to insure that this money now goes to where it belongs: public services, parks, open spaces, and infrastructure... Newsom is said to be willing to take this measure to the voters if necessary...
