A step in the right direction
San Francisco approved a ballot initiative, Prop C, despite opposition by incoming governor Gavin Newsom, aimed at curbing homelessness, dealing a political blow also to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who publicly opposed the measure. It's set to raise up to $300 million to fund housing, mental health and homeless initiatives by taxing large corporations. Dorsey opposed it because, he said, it could prove stifling for smaller corporations, a position that drew him into a public feud with vocal initiative backer Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce.
