Remembering Mayor Lee
Along with our entire community, sf.citi was deeply saddened and shocked to learn of Mayor Lee’s passing last week and would like to use our final newsletter of the year to reflect on the legacy of Mayor Lee. Mayor Lee cared deeply about San Francisco and its people. Under his time in office, he led San Francisco out of the worst recession in recent history into unprecedented economic growth, and was a key leader in building our flourishing tech industry. Mayor Lee also created some of the nation’s leading progressive policies, such as the country’s first paid maternity leave. Though there are no words to express our gratitude to Mayor Lee, we’d like to share a few great stories about the Mayor’s legacy:
