纽森表态支持旧金山市长Lurie三项宪章修正提案：D、E、F提案11月3日交选民表决
据旧金山本地媒体 San Francisco Focal 10月24日报道，加州州长纽森10月23日公开表态，支持旧金山市长 Daniel Lurie 力推的三项宪章修正提案，即D提案、E提案与F提案。三项提案将于11月3日交旧金山选民表决，距投票日不到两周。
三项提案同属 Lurie 的市政改革方案。D提案将提高提案登上选票的门槛，包括把公民倡议所需的签名比例由选民的2%提高到8%，市议会提交提案所需的议员人数也拟提高；E提案将扩大市行政官在政府合同规则上的权限，减少须经市议会审查的合同，并把市行政官任期由5年延长到10年；F提案将扩大市长对市政府部门与委员会的控制，按相关报道，其中包括市长免除其任命的警察委员会委员时不再需要市议会批准。
纽森表示，这些措施将减少官僚程序、提高问责。Lurie 在声明中表示，州长理解旧金山市政府在推进工作时面临的障碍。据 San Francisco Focal 报道，三项提案已吸引约1,300万美元选举开支，多数来自少数富裕捐款人，单笔多达六位数；若获通过，将是旧金山30年来幅度最大的宪章修订。支持者称改革有助于改善市政厅运作，批评者则担忧权力过度集中于市长一职。
Newsom Endorses San Francisco Mayor Lurie's Three Charter Amendments: Propositions D, E and F Go to Voters on November 3
California Governor Gavin Newsom endorsed three San Francisco charter amendments backed by Mayor Daniel Lurie on Friday, October 23, according to San Francisco Focal's October 24 report, less than two weeks before voters decide on the proposals in the November 3 election. The three measures are Propositions D, E and F.
The proposals form Mayor Lurie's City Hall reform package. Proposition D would make it harder for measures to qualify for the local ballot, including raising the signature requirement for citizen-led initiatives from 2 percent to 8 percent of voters and increasing the number of supervisors needed to place a measure on the ballot. Proposition E would give the city administrator greater authority over government contracting rules, reduce the number of contracts subject to Board of Supervisors review, and extend the city administrator's term from five years to ten. Proposition F would increase the mayor's control over city departments and commissions, including, according to related reporting, allowing the mayor to dismiss Police Commission appointees without board approval.
Newsom said the measures would reduce bureaucracy and improve accountability. Lurie said in a statement that the governor understood the obstacles San Francisco's government faces in trying to make progress. According to San Francisco Focal, the proposals have attracted roughly $13 million in election spending, most of it from a few dozen wealthy donors contributing six-figure sums, and the changes would amount to the most significant revision of San Francisco's charter in 30 years. Supporters promote them as a way to improve City Hall, while opponents warn against concentrating power in the mayor's office.
