@_frankgrimess @sjpdchief @LTDiep Under the City Charter approved by the voters (Sec 411) and state law, elected officials have zero authority over personnel disciplinary decisions, and cannot meddle in those decisions. — PolitiTweet.org

On June 19, 1865, Black Americans demonstrated their resilience from horrible hardship—may their example of courage inspire our collective strength in this difficult moment. (2/2) — PolitiTweet.org

@FalcoreThe @HabitatEBSV Beyond the measures we’ve taken already (eg, expanding Independent Police Auditor authority, banning rubber bullets, creating Office of Racial Equity, etc), I’ll be making more announcements in the next few days. We’re finalizing details now. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@adulceangelita Yes, the Court was constrained by the fact that they’re evaluating an executive order—even with five liberal justices, I don’t think we could have gotten any definitive ruling on the merits that we’d prefer — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s #SCOTUS decision affirms what we all know: our nation’s future depends on DREAMers. That’s why we filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration 3 yrs ago – telling thousands of #DACA recipients in San José that "we’ve got your back." https://t.co/zfhQ3wIcZZ — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@BatmanofSJ Agreed—we need more resources. That’s why I led passage of Measure E this March for ca $50 million annually in affordable housing. Mental health, drug treatment, etc all is funded through counties, though, and all are hurting badly fiscally. Advocating for state $ now. — PolitiTweet.org

@SusanBassi @SupCindyChavez @SusanEllenberg @joesimitian @Mike__Wasserman @DaveCortese Your tag line is “investigative reporter,” and you still believe that the city/Mayor have some authority over what happens in Family Court? Really? — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@Th3Jareth Jareth, the Constitution (5th Am and Contracts Clause) prohibits cities from suspending rent or mortgage payments. We have to work w/in the law, so I pushed to ensure we were the first US city to announce a moratorium on evictions — PolitiTweet.org

@ShaadyBo_ No, it’s not simple—there are multiple sources. That’s the reality with a $4.1 billion budget. It’s on line so that residents can read it—here’s the police budget: https://t.co/7yRag9392C. Democracy is about all of us rolling up our sleeves—not dismissing everything as “simple” — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@ShaadyBo_ We will engage with the community —including many defunding advocates—to listen to ideas and discuss how we can reduce SJPD involvement to social situations where it makes sense to reduce or halt Officer response. But the council vote was unanimous on the budget issue — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@ShaadyBo_ No, the direct answer is and was that we’re not defunding. The Council votes unanimously last night. I’ve said that repeatedly. There is a reduction in the police budget because the entire city budget is getting cut—that’s it. — PolitiTweet.org

@The_JustinRyan The County Public Health Officer decides everything. City has no access to her, and we’ve no info even what the sequence of openings will be.
