This week, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted 7-4 to end a 2016 law that banned the city from doing business with or funding travel to states considered insufficiently liberal. The blacklist started with eight states but grew to include more than 30, in large part because officials continued to expand the possible offenses that would earn states a spot on it.
The City Administrator’s Office estimated that San Francisco’s annual contracting costs had increased by more than 20%, with the city spending more than $475,000 in staffing expenses alone to carry out the ban.
