SF voters to decide on city-funded legal representation for tenants facing eviction

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- San Francisco voters Tuesday will decide whether tenants in the city facing eviction will be entitled to a city-funded attorney.

Proposition F provides for city-funded legal representation for tenants in eviction lawsuits. Any resident of the city battling an eviction would get an attorney paid for by the city if Prop F passes.
