On Wednesday, The National Review<\/a> posted an article about the San Francisco<\/a> Board of Supervisors’ vote to end the boycott they began in 2016.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The board voted 7-4 to repeal a 2016 law that prohibited city employees from traveling to or doing business with companies in states that passed conservative laws. The board of supervisors first enacted the law in an effort to punish states that had enacted what it viewed as restrictions on LGBT rights after the Supreme Court\u2019s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges\u00a0<\/em>legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. Since 2015, the board had amended the law to include states that, in its view, had limited voting rights and abortion access.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not achieving the goal we want to achieve,\u201d said<\/a> Supervisor Rafael Mandelman, the sponsor of the legislation to repeal the boycott.\u00a0\u201cIt is making our government less efficient.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article notes the effect of the boycott:<\/p>\n

The rollback comes after a report by the city administrator\u2019s office found that no states ever appeared to change their own laws in response to the city\u2019s boycott. A budget and legislative analyst\u2019s report also found the city had done business with the states on the boycott list. A one-year period between mid-2021 and mid-2022 saw waivers for contracts and purchase orders totaling $791 million. Meanwhile, the budget and legislative analyst also found that the city had spent nearly $475,000 in staffing expenses to carry out the boycott.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The law \u201chas created additional administrative burden for City staff and vendors and unintended consequences for San Francisco citizens, such as limiting enrichment and developmental opportunities,\u201d according to the city administrator\u2019s report. \u201cFew, if any, other jurisdictions implement travel or contracting bans as expansive as the City\u2019s.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Supervisors Shamann Walton, who previously told<\/a> National Review<\/span> that the San Francisco advisory committee\u2019s recommendation that the city pay out\u00a0hefty reparations<\/a> to the city\u2019s longtime black residents does not go far enough toward making things right, warned there could be \u201cmany unintended consequences of the repeal\u201d and said as states are doubling down on their conservative laws he does not want to make it seem that the city is \u201cnot still fighting against these discriminatory practices and laws.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

You have to admire their chutzpah. Just for the record, requiring voter ID and cleaning up voting rights does not qualify as limiting voting unless you mean that it limits the votes of those not legally qualified to vote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
