Bay City Mayoral Candidates Clash in Commission Meeting

In Bay City, MI, mayoral candidates Andrea Burney and Chris Girard engaged in heated exchanges during a city commission meeting, leading to calls for professionalism from Commission President Jesse Dockett. The dispute centered around Burney's proposed resolution requiring Girard to recuse himself from dealings related to the State Theatre, which Girard contested as baseless. Meanwhile, in San Francisco, the five major mayoral candidates, including incumbent London Breed, debated key issues like public safety, housing, and downtown revitalization. The debate, hosted by the San Francisco Democratic Party, highlighted differing approaches to the city's drug and homelessness crises. Notably, Breed's campaign has raised significant funds, but outsider candidate Daniel Lurie has also garnered substantial financial support. Voters expressed openness to various candidates, with some still undecided and seeking solutions to ongoing public health and safety challenges.
