SF spends $300,000 to register noncitizen voters

One of the people most surprised by San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White's announcement that she is retiring on May 5 was Mayor London Breed.

For weeks, Room 200 and Hayes-White had been holding talks on the date of the long-standing chief's exit.

The chief initially wanted to stay on until January 2020 to coincide with the end of her good friend, the late Mayor Ed Lee's, second term.

Not only is she San Francisco's first female and longest-running chief, she is one of he city's most popular officials - especially in the Irish enclaves west of Twin Peaks.

She promptly announced the start of a selection process for a new fire chief, while stating "Chief Hayes-White can continue to focus on what matters most to all of us - keeping our residents and visitors safe."

Breed has asked the Fire Commission to start the search for a new chief, with the goal of presenting the mayor with qualified applicants by the end of January or early February of next year.

Breed will then decide who will serve as the next chief - and when.
