San Francisco Supervisors Reject Bid to Boost Pay for Nonprofits

An effort to funnel an additional $3.4 million to local nonprofit agencies in San Francisco was defeated at the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, prompting plenty of sharp comments from members on each side of the vote. The measure, pushed by Supervisor Eric Mar, would have taken money from a $21.6 million windfall now predicted for the current budget year and boosted the $6.75 million increase the 1,400 or so nonprofits with city contracts received last June, matching the 2.25 percent raise city workers received.
