  • MAYOR ED LEE's ROADMAP to GOOD JOBS & OPPORTUNITY
    www.mayoredlee.com @EdLeeforMayor Facebook.com/MayorEdLee MAYOR ED LEE’s ROADMAP TO GOOD JOBS & OPPORTUNITY Attract & Grow tHe Jobs of tHe Future San Francisco today is laying the foundation for a dynamic, innovation-based economy with companies like Twitter, Salesforce and Zynga and cutting-edge biotechnology, life sciences and clean technology firms. Mayor Lee will continue working hard to attract and retain a record number of jobs in high technology, new media, clean technology and biotechnology to San Francisco’s new “Innovation Corridor” from South of Market through Mission Bay and a redeveloped Pier 70 to Hunters Point. Launch the Job Squad Mayor Lee knows that small businesses are the heart of San Francisco’s local economy and he will expand the City’s efforts to help them start and thrive. Mayor Lee will establish a new Job Squad of expert City staff to get out of City Hall and work fulltime out in the City’s many neighborhood commercial districts, offering direct assistance and advice to small businesses in permitting, cutting red tape and navigating City Government and available services. Mayor Lee will make sure local businesses get the help they need to create jobs in our neighborhoods. Reform the Payroll Tax Mayor Lee knows that San Francisco’s current business tax structure punishes job creation when it should reward it. The City has seen great results creating new jobs through targeted payroll tax exemptions for biotech, cleantech and in Central Market, but Mayor Lee believes comprehensive payroll tax reform is needed for the entire City. In 2012, Mayor Lee will bring together businesses large and small and from every neighborhood and industry together and work with the Board of Supervisors to develop a fair business tax structure that rewards job creation and creates sustainable revenue for vital City services.
