Moritz's #MayorDictator ballot measure has raised $1.5 million, $1m of it from Michael Moritz himself.
This would give whoever our next mayor is complete unitary control over all city departments, appointing 2/3 of all city boards and commissions without confirmation and removing them at will. A one-stop shop for (legal or otherwise) bribery.

Here's what the Moritz #MayorDictator measure does, straight from its official summary.
Keep in mind: Removing appointees at will would make them complete puppets of the mayor. It was a scandal when Mayor Breed used undated resignation letters to do this: https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s-f-mayor-london-breed-s-resignation-letter-17769925.php
The mayor would also have sole power over Police Chief who in turn has sole power over regulating police. And removing stipends would ensure only the independently wealthy can serve on commissions. #sfPol
