School Board Election Could End Deadlock on Sharply Divided Board

By Linda Parker Pennington

On Tuesday, June 12, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, visited a packed and jubilant house at Manny’s, to support her husband’s presidential reelection bid.

It was Biden’s second time at Manny’s, at 3092 16th St., having stopped in during Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign.

Founder Manny Yekutiel introduced the First Lady. “Dr. Biden chose to visit Manny’s today because San Francisco matters,” he said. “We are the crucible of civic life in this country. We make s--t happen.”

The atmosphere inside was euphoric, those assembled charmed by the First Lady’s warmth and grace.

“I am here in San Francisco because San Francisco matters” said Biden at the fundraiser where individuals paid from $100-$250 a plate to attend.

“Remember how hard it was last time? This time, it’s going to be even harder. The fight for freedom doesn’t end. This is the most important election of our lives.”

Manny’s is a social gathering space with a restaurant-cafe, bookstore and event space that opened in November 2016. In the run-up to the 2020 election, the venue hosted each of the 22 Democratic presidential contenders.

Representatives Barbara Lee (CA-12) and Mark DeSaulnier (CA-10) on Tuesday introduced the “Moneyball Act,” legislation that would require the owners of any professional baseball club seeking to relocate to compensate the state and local authorities they move away from.

If the owners do not oblige, then

Major League Baseball would be subject to the anti-trust laws they have been exempt from for over a century.

This legislation comes as the Oakland Athletics, who have called Oakland home for half a century, are actively seeking to relocate to Las Vegas.
