A member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors has asked for $50 million for the fiscal year in order to create an 'Office of Reparations' in the city.
Shamann Walton said he wants the city to appropriate $50 million for the project.
"The supplemental will specifically be for reparations only and it will guarantee money in this budget cycle," Walton said during a March 21 Board meeting. According to Walton, he has already requested legislation from the City Attorney's office to create the office under the Human Rights Commission.
