San Francisco delays rollout of ID card program
September 5, 2008
San Francisco is delaying a controversial program that would provide identification cards to all residents regardless of legal status.
Mayor Gavin Newsom requested last month that the ID card plan _ closely watched by other cities considering similar initiatives _ be suspended ‘until a thorough review has been completed,’ according to a letter sent to the city administrator.
‘The mayor wants to proceed cautiously with this program to ensure that it complies with all applicable federal and state laws,’ Nathan Ballard, the mayor’s spokesman, said Thursday.
