I had a thought to myself while listening to the radio this morning on the way to work. In reference to the drunk driver who mowed down a light post and fire hydrant yesterday going 100 MPH. Communications officer Sam Clemens said that the damage to the hydrant and light post was a combined total of around $11K.
Ever notice when similar incidents occur, the SFPD always has a dollar amount of damages right away (which is fine) but for some strange reason safety audits, golf contracts and siding settlements must remain secret. Or the information isn’t available.
I guess when it is criminals costing tax payers money transparency is of upmost importance, but when it is elected officials, like our mayor costing us money, it’s a secret.
Food for thought.
