San Francisco is looking for a new police chief after Bill Scott announced earlier this month that he is stepping down after eight years on the job through three mayoral administrations.  Although the city’s civilian-led police commission will draw up a short list of candidates, Mayor Daniel Lurie will make the final decision.  Scott and Marisa are joined by KQED Politics Reporter Sydney Johnson to talk about that choice and what the next chief’s success or failure may mean for the mayor.  They’ll also talk about the recall effort against San Francisco Supervisor Joel Engardio after organizers announced this week that they’ve gathered enough signatures to put the recall question up to a vote.  Learn more about your ad choices.
