A vote on a San Francisco supervisor's plan to convert neighborhood corner stores into publicly subsidized markets has been placed on hold.
Supervisor Bilal Mahmoud announced the idea late last month and is now accusing Mayor Daniel Lurie of interfering with the Board of Supervisors' legislative process.
"What happened is that the mayor called the budget chair and asked her to pull this to even before it could be voted on," Mahmoud said. "This has never happened in the history of the board in recent history."
Mahmoud's plan is modeled after New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani's executive action to create government-owned supermarkets.
