San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie revealed a record-breaking budget of nearly $17 billion that hands big raises to police and fire staff and avoids mass layoffs as the city faces long-term deficits in the hundreds of millions. Lurie says his $16. 9 billion two-year budget encourages the San Francisco comeback he’s often touted in public appearances and helps fix ongoing budget shortfalls, though a few hundred workers who rely on city funds may lose their jobs.
