San Francisco politics are rarely dull, and this election year is no exception. Voters will weigh in on a whopping 25 ballot measures covering hot-button issues like homelessness, public transit and education. In this hour of Forum, we talk with some local political journalists about the big measures and races. We’ll also discuss what it all means for Mayor Ed Lee, a divided Board of Supervisors and the future of the city.
