Government Oversight Committee to Hold Special Emergency Hearing Tuesday on Mayor’s Resignation Letter Scandal

SAN FRANCISCO — The Government Audit and Oversight Committee of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors will hold a special emergency hearing following revelations that the Mayor requires many of San Francisco’s most powerful commissioners to provide her with signed, undated resignation letters prior to their appointment. The Mayor’s resignation letter practice was discovered after documents were released via a public records request which included an undated resignation letter that Police Commissioner Max Carter-Oberstone said the Mayor’s Office had him sign as a condition of his reappointment this past spring.

Since the news stories were released, GAO Chair Preston has submitted formal Letters of Inquiry and received responses from the Mayor’s Office and appointed Commissioners. On Tuesday, October 11, the committee will hold an emergency hearing on the subject, at which the public will be able to weigh in.

Police Commissioner Max Carter-Oberstone

Representative(s) from the Mayor’s office

WHEN: Tuesday, October 11, 2022 at 10am
