AC Effort Makes Final Push

The final chance to show your support for San Francisco’s bid to host the 34th America’s Cup is coming up this Wednesday. The Board of Supervisors’ Budget and Finance Committee will first review the fiscal impacts of hosting the America’s Cup, before deciding on whether or not to send the Host City Agreement on to the full Board with a stamp of approval. This will be the last opportunity for public comment, so we urge you to show up to the meeting if you can make it to City Hall Room 250. We don’t know exactly how long the 11 a.m. meeting will run, however the America’s Cup comes up as items 13 and 14 on the 16-item agenda, so we’d be surprised if it came up before early afternoon.
