Supervisor Sean Elsbernd is carrying through with his threat to take the issue of Muni operator pay (via SFGate) to the voters. Elsbernd will be out on Muni collecting signatures today on a measure to lower the floor on operator pay as a means of helping SFMTA balance its budget.

We see a lot of strong feelings about Muni operators here at Muni Diaries. Rescue Muni has come out for the amendment, while SF firefighters (via SF Appeal), for one, are against the amendment. Let us know what you think of the so-called Elsbernd amendment in the comments.

Wanna Help Give Muni Diaries a New Look?

Leave a comment

We’re about to give Muni Diaries a new look, and we want to make sure you love it too! Please join the Muni Diaries testing pool and give us your two cents on the redesign survey.

Not to worry — it will be the same site, same idea (you tell us Muni stories, we share them with the world) — we just want to make the look of the site clean and lovely.

As a thank you, one lucky, randomly chosen survey respondent will receive a free drink ticket to the Make-Out Room for our spoken word event on April 23.
