Waymo and robotaxis“What have we requested voluntary— maybe this is a better question for the MTA, so feel free to push it to them. But have we requested the voluntary operating changes of the various rideshare AV companies?”Stephen SherrillChair · Government Audit and Oversight Committee · Sep 3, 2026 · 29:24Play at 29:24
Homelessness“It is also about management. And I think when we look at at addressing homelessness going forward, we have a duty, and I believe the commission has a duty, to continue to build trust with the people of San Francisco.”Stephen SherrillMember · Rules Committee · Oct 27, 2025 · 1:04:40Play at 1:04:40
“I don’t mean that flippantly. When I hear that the police department is short 480 sworn officers, what I hear is that if tomorrow 480 laterals showed up or something and we decided to hire them. Boom, we have positions, we can slap them in and start paying them money.”Stephen SherrillChair · Government Audit and Oversight Committee · Jun 18, 2026 · 1:15:27Play at 1:15:27
“So, so you would sign off on a permit in 2016 without inspecting the building in 2016?”Stephen SherrillSupervisor · Board of Supervisors · Apr 7, 2026 · 2:05:05Play at 2:05:05
“It is absolutely critical not only for the success of businesses and workers here but also for the funds that, that help get more police officers for every neighborhood, more firefighters for every neighborhood, more street cleaning for every neighborhood. We need to be using every tool at our disposal to help this economic revitalization and recovery.”Stephen SherrillSupervisor · Board of Supervisors · Dec 2, 2025 · 11:38Play at 11:38

How we identify who is speaking · blind check, pooled across five cities: of 410 council lines drawn, 352 right, 0 wrong, 1 unclear, 57 couldn’t be judged

A meeting missing here means we couldn’t attribute the voice, not that Sherrill was absent. Claude and Gemini each read every transcript with that day’s roster. A voice gets Stephen Sherrill’s name only when both agree and a code check finds the name said on, or just before, their turn. Voices our transcripts merge with someone else’s are never attributed, so every count here undercounts what Sherrill said. For councils and their committees, of 410 lines drawn, 352 were right, 0 wrong and 1 unclear, and the checkers couldn’t judge 57. We have since removed the voices behind 110 of those lines (0 wrong, 1 unclear, the rest we had already held for other reasons). Of the 300 lines we still publish, the checkers could judge 268: all 268 right (90% lower bound 0.99). They couldn’t judge the other 32. The check is one sample pooled across the five cities, not of Sherrill or of San Francisco alone.
