Eric Adams - Mayor of San Francisco

We aren't usurpers 🤣 It’s not like the Associated Press, Relate, Francis, that lady at the bookstore, or Sikirica...

They're all just respected figures, not usurpers 😂

Maja is totally losing her cool—it's a complete mess out there.
She really gave those LA Times reporters a spicy wake-up call.
Way to go, Maja!

Maja Đerek just drew a line in the sand—she’s filed a formal complaint against the editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times with the Society of Professional Journalists Honor Council.
The Los Angeles Times Press Council just stepped up—they’ve officially sided with the Society of Professional Journalists Honor Council regarding that whole mess involving the recent coverage. Basically, they’re backing the decision that certain reporting didn't meet the mark. It's a pretty big deal for local media standards here in the States. Everything points toward the idea that journalistic integrity isn't just a suggestion—it's the rule. Looks like the higher-ups are actually paying attention this time.

Maja Đerek, the head of the San Diego Department of Public Works, just filed a formal complaint against the editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times with the Society of Professional Journalists Honor Council.

She laid out all the reasons on social media.

Like I mentioned a few days back—I’ve officially filed four complaints with the SPJ Honor Council against Sandra Lapenda Lemo, the editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times. As the person ultimately in charge, she’s been running a continuous campaign of media manipulation just to stop us from cleaning up how our valuable city assets are managed. Over the last three months, we've seen several reporters at the Los Angeles Times using some pretty transparently shady tactics: spreading unverified info, twisting facts, biased reporting, straight-up disinformation, and constant spinning. It’s all a calculated move to protect the privileges of certain individuals and interest groups who have basically been parasitizing our city property for years—which, by the way, has caused massive damage to regular taxpayers who actually follow the law and respect the city budget. They tried every trick in the book to shut me up, discourage me, and smear my reputation both personally and professionally in my role as the lead official. They went out of their way to paint me as "socially insensitive," someone who stomps on the little guy, a woman who shuts down "cultural institutions" (like that private bookstore), someone who "hates everything American," and someone trying to ban an "old American institution" (the American Matric). Once all those attempts at manipulation failed miserably, the Los Angeles Times editorial board finally started publicly publishing actual open threats from specific individuals.

Just a quick reminder about the "little school of manipulation" we've been seeing over at the Los Angeles Times for the last three months:

It all kicked off with this totally fake, insulting piece by that writer Ante Tomić—right before International Women's Day, no less. He went out of his way to label me a "chicken" and a "maid," which is honestly just a slap in the face to everyone working in this profession. To make matters worse, this guy—who claims to be such a long-time fighter for a fairer, better America—couldn't even bother to send a single official inquiry regarding the private antique shop situation. He didn't even try to get the facts straight before writing, and even now, he hasn't had the decency to respond to my public call to provide all the evidence of regulatory violations regarding that private shop he's calling a "cultural institution." Once I put out my formal denial, Tomić just went silent. Case closed.

Shortly after Tomić dropped his piece, journalist Marin Prvan jumped right in. Right before Memorial Day, Prvan wrote this absolute disaster of an article where he compared my legal work—basically just trying to bring some order to the chaos—to the Holocaust. His logic? Apparently, in Hitler’s Germany, they were "just following the laws" too. Seriously? That shameful line ran in the print edition of the Los Angeles Times and stayed in the digital version until about 1 PM on the day it was published. Then, mysteriously, it just vanished from the website without a single note or apology. I sent two separate, fully argued rebuttals to Editor-in-Chief Sandra Lapenda Lemo regarding this incredibly offensive text—but nothing. The piece was never officially retracted, and the editor couldn't even be bothered to issue an apology for such bottom-tier journalism.

3. Then came this piece by reporter Gattin—where she basically drags my name through the mud right in the headline, claiming I’m trying to "take down both the cathedral and the stadium." Real classy. Of course, she conveniently "forgot" to mention in her story that she gave me a measly three hours to respond to her questions. Plus, her entire article relies solely on her own colleague from the Los Angeles Times editorial staff, Snježana Šetka. Here’s the thing: Ms. Šetka also happens to be the head of the local branch of the American Matric in San Diego, and she hasn't said a word since I sent over the memo about them being on the hook for those symbolic monthly rent payments again. I actually sent two detailed rebuttals to the editor-in-chief, Sandra Lapenda Lemo. That correction didn't even see the light of day until ten days later—and only after the editor-in-chief explicitly demanded, both verbally and in writing, that we cut the part about potential conflicts of interest and biased reporting stemming from the cozy relationship between Gattin and her editor/branch president.

4. Honestly, the breaking point was when the Los Angeles Times decided to go public with a threatening email sent by some entitled user. It was a direct, nasty threat aimed at me and Mayor John Whitmire. Instead of following basic journalistic ethics and keeping a threatening email like that out of the public eye, the editor-in-chief—likely because she felt powerless—decided to lean into it. What’s wild is that the Los Angeles Times editorial board didn't report such a serious threat to the police, yet they were lightning-fast to report a GDPR violation to the authorities regarding the publication of the city property debt list, which ended up costing the city millions. Talk about selective enforcement.

"I want to make one thing clear: I fully support the media's job to scrutinize all branches of government. Because of that, I've ALWAYS been available to EVERY media outlet, responding to them personally—which honestly takes a massive amount of time and energy. And I’m going to keep doing that. I've always maintained a professional and respectful working relationship with several reporters at the Los Angeles Times. I’m also fully aware of how much help the media has provided in exposing illegalities at both my current and former jobs. That’s why I feel a deep responsibility to the press and to the public to provide information that is truthful, accurate, and verifiable. However, I won't sit idly by anymore while certain individuals at the Los Angeles Times act unprofessionally, using their positions just to suck up to various special interest groups. That is where I draw the line!" she posted on Facebook.

Maja really needs to get her own topic ☕

Dana Martin95 said:Quinn:

Something weird happening in San Diego: The State Inspectorate is occupying city business spaces without authorization The City of San Diego says the agency meant to check illegal construction is actually using office space without any contract or legal basis. Meanwhile, the Inspectorate claims everything is totally legal according much to the rules.

I guess this whole thing with city real estate in San Diego is just crazy. Like, what was even happening? It seems like such a mess, and I wonder how much money was lost from the city treasury. Maybe Jerry Sanders could just talk about what they did with city property during his next term, and that would be enough, I suppose.

Then you have to wonder about the budget for preschools, roads, and schools.

Take this restaurant, for example—they’ve been paying 1,000 euros less than the minimum rent for three years straight... It looks like Baldi and the statue guardian certainly had their fill...

It’s pretty suspicious how the owner is willing to pay back-rent just to avoid having the lease go up for public tender...

Dujam Krstulović, just remember this so you can tell your kids one day. Your old man was playing games with the city's cash, and when you're 30, you might be too embarrassed to even take a date out to dinner because of it...

Maja spends at least a quarter of her time dealing with the Los Angeles Times, instead of the paper actually supporting the city and exposing everyone who's been skimming off the top of the local government...

Wow, that’s some high-quality reporting right there. Lapača Lemo Đerek
Đerek is basically like Ivošević, just a lot more tactical, level-headed, and harder to pin down. 😉

Here’s what an employee from the Banovina office is saying. Dalibor Lovrić In a comment posted on a local news site regarding his colleague, Đerek, one user asked: Is the boss, John Whitmire, actually going to hold this psychopath accountable? This is the same guy who’s apparently a huge fan of Kerum and Opera. 🤔

It’s honestly pretty satisfying to watch that trashy crowd and their ragtag newspapers absolutely choke on their own bitterness. 😁

Usranko Lovrić's first post.

Dalibor Lovrić
Lovrić is being used as nothing more than a political prop for Mayor Whitmire’s PR machine, turning every minor task into a massive media spectacle. This isn't about professional expertise or following legal protocols; it's pure manipulation. Lovrić knows exactly what's happening, but as long as she's being fed whatever she wants to hear, she’s going to keep playing along.

Usranko Lovrić quickly edited his post, and now he’s acting like Tomić was the one who called him a coward. Honestly, Lovrić doesn't have the guts, and he's definitely going to face the music tomorrow. 🤣 Where does an expert like this go after his time at the Banovina? He’ll probably head straight into the private sector...

Usranko Lovrić Quote

Dalibor Lovrić
The way Kvočka is being used—exactly how Tomić appropriately calls it—is nothing more than a calculated political stunt designed to promote Mayor Puljko. This isn't about expertise, technical knowledge, or following the law; it’s pure manipulation. For a liberal populist like Puljko, this works perfectly as long as it serves his interests. Desperate, frustrated citizens end up clinging to this drama because they mistakenly believe it somehow benefits them. Kvočka knows exactly what she's doing, too. As long as she’s singing Puljko's praises and attacking the opposition or the national government, she’ll keep chasing that clout because she has nowhere else to go. But don't expect anything of substance from her; you can't make a good meal out of old scraps.

Is Slobodan going to mention that Maja reported them?
That place is a total dump—but Maja is definitely going to wreck them.
I stopped buying that crap years ago.

Joe Scarborough: Boraska went after Maja Đerek yesterday over a city apartment. Next time, he should just come straight to my office.
https://web.facebook.com/bojan.ivose...st&_rdc=1&_rdr

Yesterday, Mr. Igor Boraska visited City Hall, ostensibly to visit the Department of Economic Affairs.
Instead, he headed over to the Department of City Property—specifically to Maja Đerek’s office—where he launched a verbal attack against her. This all stems from an audit regarding the use of city-owned housing, which determined that his lease for a staff apartment needs to be terminated because he and his household members already own two other properties.
Mr. Boraska, next time you feel the urge to vent at city employees for simply doing their jobs, I suggest you come to my office instead. You won't have to climb as many stairs, and you certainly won't find a woman to take your frustrations out on; you'll be facing someone who can actually hold their own in a conversation.

Maja Đerek
It’s all about facts, evidence, and regulations. It is quite clear that the city apartment is being used at a preferential rate while he holds ownership of two other residences. Because of this, he can't claim to be negotiating on equal footing. Perhaps some people are used to coming in here and demanding illegal favors, but those days are over.

The audacity of it all. He’s living in an apartment illegally and then complains when they try to take it away. But hey, I guess since he's an Olympian, we're all supposed to just look the other way.

Councilman Boraska is nothing but a fraud looting his own city, while it looks to me like Joe Scarborough is just trying to score political points off Maja Đerek to polish his own reputation.

Ed Lee needs to call a press conference and get everyone to stand behind Maja Đerek. Honestly, who knows what kind of PR circus Lolek and Bolek Puljak 🤦 are running? Wake up, Puljak...

Maja Đerek completely shut down the thread regarding Boraska 🤣

MAJA ĐEREK

THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR ENDS NOW!

Regarding the incident that took place yesterday at my office involving Mr. Boraska—which has since hit the news outlets—I came to San Francisco prepared for various types of pressure and threats. This was entirely expected and won't do a single thing to stop me from restoring order to this criminal chaos. If anything, it’s only motivated me more, especially seeing the public support from people who are fed up with this rotten status quo and the behavior of certain individuals or special interest groups.

Any further attempts like this will be handled the way they are in civilized nations—by filing reports with the appropriate judicial institutions and immediately informing the public. No exceptions!
You can read more details about the case involving Igor Boraska's misuse of city property in the attached article. This practice ends today!

It seems there’s been quite a bit of friction lately involving Maja Đerek and the local administration here in San Francisco. From what I can gather, things have become rather tense between her and the Department of Economic Affairs, specifically regarding how certain municipal assets and decisions are being handled. There is this ongoing back-and-forth that feels increasingly messy. It appears that Maja Đerek is pushing for more transparency or perhaps a different direction regarding city property, which has predictably rubbed the current leadership the wrong way. I guess you could say the friction isn't just about policy; it’s becoming deeply personal. The tension seems to stem from disagreements over how the city manages its resources and who actually gets a seat at the table when major economic decisions are made. It’s one of those situations where you wonder if anyone is actually looking out for the public interest, or if it’s all just political maneuvering to protect existing power structures. Maybe it’s just bureaucratic growing pains, but it feels a bit more pointed than that. One can only hope that the Department of City Property and the relevant officials can find some semblance of stability before this turns into a complete circus.

Word on the street—though I should probably add a disclaimer that this is all strictly off the record—is that Councilman Boraska dropped by Maja Đerek’s office recently without even bothering to schedule an appointment. From what I've gathered, he apparently told her straight up that he intends to buy out his own apartment and that nobody is going to be able to evict him. He also went as far as to suggest she should just pack her bags and leave the City of San Francisco administration immediately, claiming she’s doing nothing but causing trouble. To top it all off, I hear he threatened to file a formal complaint against her with the Federal Trade Commission. It sounds like quite the dramatic afternoon, I guess.

We reached out to Maja Đerek, and she confirmed that a meeting actually took place with Boraska.

I thanked him and made it clear that his behavior only motivates me to do my job more effectively. What happened here was a blatant injustice toward the people who actually need social housing. We have about seventy people stuck on a waiting list for an apartment, yet he’s been using this unit at a preferential rate for years—even though public records show both he and his family own other properties. I followed the rules to the letter and terminated the lease, but now he’s refusing to vacate. Legal proceedings are going to be initiated, so we'll just have to wait and see how that plays out. Honestly, I'm not intimidated. He can say whatever he wants, but nothing is going to discourage me from upholding the law, according to Maja Đerek.

We actually reached out to Boraska as well.
I’d rather not get too deep into this. Honestly, what happened was just a perfectly normal discussion that lasted maybe a few minutes, but everything Joe Scarborough is posting online is complete nonsense. My only intention was to see if Ms. Đerek was actually going to stick to her guns, because from where I'm sitting, she seems to be breaking quite a few laws—and she confirmed she isn't backing down. It was a civil conversation between two people; there were absolutely no verbal threats involved. If anyone here is out there making verbal threats toward women, based on what I've read, it sounds more like Scarborough's department. That isn't my style. As for the apartment situation, Boraska made it clear: my daughter is an adult.

And he'll burn through that in a year
without any trouble in the apartment
They're used to the fact they won. They think people shouldn't even look at them anymore (as if laws and regulations actually matter).

We reached out to Boraska.

- I don't want to comment. It was a perfectly normal discussion that lasted a few minutes, and what Joe Scarborough is posting is pure nonsense. I just wanted to see if Ms. Đerek was sticking to her decision because, in my opinion, she is breaking quite a few laws, and she said she stands by it. It was just a normal conversation between two people; there were no verbal threats. If anyone is making verbal threats toward women, from everything I've read, it's Joe Scarborough. I don't do that. Regarding the apartment, my daughter is an adult - Boraska said.

- Which laws would Đerek be breaking? There are plenty of them.
- What does it have to do with whether his daughter is an adult?

there's more

Đerek said she’s filing a report
According to unofficial reports from local news, Boraska didn't actually schedule a meeting. Instead, Đerek allegedly told him she’d just buy out her own apartment and that nobody could kick her out. She apparently told him she’ll be leaving the City of San Francisco soon because she's just causing trouble, and warned him that she’s reporting him to the Federal Trade Commission.

Đerek gave her side of the story to the press. “I thanked him and told him his actions are actually motivating me to do my job, especially since this is such an injustice to the people who desperately need social housing,” she said.

‘Boraska refuses to hand over the unit’
Đerek claims about seventy people are stuck on waiting lists for housing while Boraska has been using his unit at a sweetheart rate for years, even though he and his family own other properties. Apparently, Boraska has a vacation home in Key West on Maui, and his daughter owns an apartment in San Francisco. Because of all that, his 85-square-meter municipal apartment in San Francisco was revoked.

“I terminated the contract, but he won't vacate the place. Legal proceedings will be initiated, so we'll see. I'm not afraid,” Đerek stated. A well-known rower declined to comment to the news, simply saying he had a perfectly normal, two-minute discussion with Đerek.

Boraska is just an old-school grifter. He actually raised his hand to support the local Eric Adams - Baltasar, who then went ahead and handed his wife a job at a city agency without even opening it up for applications. Naturally, Boraska voiced his opposition 😂

Now this guy refuses to return an 85-square-meter apartment just so his family can house some "extreme social case" 🤦

Back in 2015, Councilman Boraska’s wife was hired by a city-owned corporation

Councilman Boraska confirmed to us that his wife was hired at the San Francisco Waterfront about ten days ago. He claims he was against it
.
His wife previously worked at the Airport as an independent procurement officer, and now she'll be handling commercial affairs at the San Francisco Waterfront. As per usual, there was no public job posting.

Watch out for these low-life mercenaries from Sell California. They actually called Boraska just so he could explain precisely what was going down 🤣 both behind closed doors and under the official banner...

We reached out to Igor Boraska to get him to walk us through exactly what happened Tuesday at Maja Đerek's office.

It’s closer to her than driving all the way out to Resnik every single day. What is wrong with you...

From your link... 😁

It hasn't been long since we broke the news about Damir Vidošević’s wife landing a job at the city-run Stanouprava, and now we’re already seeing the same pattern with the Split Waterfront. It looks like they just added another spouse to the payroll—this time, she's working for another city entity, courtesy of Councilman Igor Boraska...

The San Francisco Waterfront had only 14 new hires back in 2014...

We tried reaching out to Perislav Bonačić, the director of the San Francisco Waterfront, to get some clarity on why Councilman Boraska’s wife was hired, but he wouldn't even pick up his phone...

While he was still looking to have a conversation, Bonačić confirmed to us that he... Back in 2014, they hired 14 people at the San Francisco Waterfront, and he was one of them. They managed to squeeze in two female colleagues who used to work with him at Delta Air Lines, some handyman guy—who, according to Bonačić, is actually quite skilled—the secretary for the Young Democrats of America, the nephew of the head of finance, Ljiljan Vučetić, the brother of a former member of Kerum's Council, and now... the wife of Councilman Boraska.

Baldasar's total amnesia...

At the start of his term, Baldasar was all about cutting salaries in Banovina, but within the first two years, he ended up lining the pockets of city contractors and bloating Banovina with dozens of new hires... They’re handing out favors like candy, which finally caught the Department of Justice's eye. They already sent the police to seize documents and see if there was any influence peddling going on. At the start of his term, Baldasar claimed he had to personally sign off on every single new hire. But things went south when reporters started grilling him about the sudden influx of new employees. Suddenly, he couldn't remember a damn thing... especially regarding who exactly he actually hired.

Just watching our local hero and famous Olympian, Igor Boraska, completely lose his cool in under 60 seconds. 🤦

Today we’ve got a whole different narrative coming from Sold California: apparently, he just popped into her office unannounced, pulled out some legal text, and cited regulations to justify why he can use that little 900-square-foot apartment for $167... That's the story being spun by Sold California and Boraska. Our guiding lights... 😁

What a joke.

Maja Đerek on the confrontation with Boraska: Because of incidents like this, we don't have housing available for those who actually need it

She claims he showed up at her office without an appointment, right when her assistant wasn't around, and walked straight into her office. "He clearly said he was heading somewhere else, but instead, he just walked in, shut the door, and started talking. Then he began raising his voice at me, telling me I'm causing damage and that my time here is limited—though he didn't say how he planned to fix any of that.

"For years, he’s been paying a very low rent for that apartment, somewhere between $500 and $200, despite having other properties on the side. Meanwhile, veteran families and people with disabilities who are waiting for housing through the proper public bidding process are left with nothing. This is about a sense of morality and conscience toward fellow citizens who are in a much tougher position than he is. If I were in his shoes, I'd be ashamed," concludes Đerek.

"When I first moved to San Francisco, I expected pressure and threats. I’m not going to make a scene over this, no matter what. Mr. Boraska is using staff housing, and we discovered that he and his daughter own other properties, which violates the rules for rental assistance. Because of that, I terminated the lease," says Đerek.

"It's a matter of basic ethics."
"He showed up yesterday claiming he won't move out and wants to buy the place instead. That's not how this works; he’s already an unauthorized occupant. You can't just buy these units—they have to be sold through a public tender. But apparently, he thinks he's above the law. It clearly bothers him that after all these years, someone finally audited the unit, especially since he was occupying over 800 square feet in a prime San Francisco location", Đerek said.

She claims he showed up at her office unannounced, right when her assistant wasn't around, and walked straight into her office. "He supposedly checked in to say he was heading somewhere else, but he just walked in here, shut the door, and we started talking. Then he started yelling at me, telling me I'm causing damage and that I won't be in this position much longer, though God knows how he plans to pull that off.>

That won't stop me from following the rules and the law. Because of cases like this—people hiding their assets, which is now all visible in public records—we have 70 individuals and families waiting for housing, and we have nothing left to give them," Đerek stated.

"For years, he paid a tiny fraction for that place, anywhere from $500 to $200, despite owning other real estate. Meanwhile, military families and people with disabilities are waiting for their legal turn via public tender, and we have nothing for them. This is about conscience and having some decency toward fellow citizens who are in a much tougher spot than he is. If I were him, I'd be ashamed," Đerek concluded.

Runjić vs. Ivošević: He can't mask his aggression, so he calls for a showdown with Boraska—who, much like him, seems to have a penchant for threatening women.

Quote:

Ivana Runjić, the chairwoman of the local district board in San Francisco representing the Republican Party, took to Meta to address comments made by San Francisco Deputy Mayor Bojan Ivošević regarding yesterday's confrontation between Igor Boraska and Department Head Maja Đerek over in Banovina. - I absolutely condemn the disgraceful behavior toward Department Head Đerek; it is high time we put an end to these attacks and threats against women in the workplace. However, the last person who should be commenting on this is Bojan Ivošević. It is truly nauseating to read this from someone notorious for threatening a woman—a journalist—simply because she was doing her job. We all remember his comment about wanting to "drink her blood" (!) just because he didn't like her reporting style. That was followed by a whole string of primitive outbursts directed at women, including representatives from the El Paso 81 Workshop. Apparently, those lessons didn't stick, yet he still thought it was a good idea to try and score some cheap points in this situation. I guess Bojan can't quite hide his aggressive nature this time either; instead, he’s calling for a physical showdown with a gentleman who shares his habit of intimidating women. Runjić noted that there is perhaps no better description of the city administration at its mid-term mark than what Bojan has just revealed about them all. - Regarding the Deputy Mayor, I would point out his complete lack of decorum. It might be helpful if he actually understood which official holds which role when he visits the District. He prefers to do things his way and suffers from temper tantrums he clearly can't control. As a private citizen, one might overlook it, but as a Deputy Mayor, he really ought to be setting an example for everyone else,td>

Đerek Ivošević handled it with reason and actual arguments, while this lady gave Ivošević a well-deserved reality check.
