What he lacks, at the moment, is a way to pay for them. Last week, Lurie announced the official formation of the Breaking the Cycle Fund, which is a publicly managed but privately funded account that hopes to rake in donations from private interests. He has a $37.5 million headstart with no end goal.

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie’s patience has paid off. As Police Chief Bill Scott heads off to a new gig in his old town, Lurie will now have a hand in selecting The City’s next police chief, without having to have publicly and painfully ousted the one he inherited. When he ran for office last year, Lurie could have matched his opponent’s signature promise to immediately fire Scott upon taking office.
