Appeal of ruling for November 2019 PROP A - "AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOND"

 In January 2020, the Superior Court of San Francisco ruled against our challenge to the legality of this election. See "2019 Proposition A - SF "Affordable" Housing Bonds - Post Election Challenge" below. 

An appeal was filed. Due to all the issues with COVID-19 the process has taken a long time to get going. However the appeals court recently accepted the application however delayed, and the process has started.

Unexpectedly, the City Attorney's office filed a Motion for Preference to the court in an attempt to speed up the process. Apparently, the City is feeling an economic pinch and wants access to this money ASAP. Currently these lawsuits are holding up $1B in bond money. 

You can read our Response to Motion for Preference here. 

The Court ruled against. That's OK. I can handle it. Will be filing our opening brief early next month. Stay tuned.  

The Opening Brief for the Appeal filed November 6, 2020.
