Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi on Tuesday will call for a hearing on the San Francisco Civil Grand Jury's recent report slamming Mayor Gavin Newsom for not keeping adequate track of his departments and how they spend their money.
Mirkarimi is the chairman of the government audit and oversight committee and said he expects that committee to hold a hearing on the report within a month.
He said he wasn't surprised by the report's findings that the mayor's administration doesn't allow the average citizen to easily track how City Hall is performing or how money is being spent. And he added it's especially crucial to iron out these problems as the mayor and supervisors grapple with crafting a budget during an economic crisis.
"It validates what had been my ongoing concerns for quite some time," Mirkarimi said of the report. "When we ask about performance and efficiency, all the metrics are very loose."
