The more than $1.9 million effort that ousted three San Francisco School Board members from their positions Tuesday was funded in large part by Silicon Valley-area billionaires, records show.
According to publicly available information, the recall effort's three biggest donors were"Neighbors for a Better San Francisco Advocacy," a political action committee that has previously been funded by Silicon Valley-area tech investors and philanthropists; Arthur Rock, a 95-year-old billionaire who was an early investor in Intel and Apple; and David O. Sacks, a San Francisco-based tech investor and former chief operating officer at PayPal.
" Yet, San Francisco Berniecrats, a progressive group against the recall, compared the battle to the ultimately unsuccessful conservative effort to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, last year. "These two recalls have one thing in common: they are attempts to short-circuit the democratic process with big money," the group said on its website.
