San Francisco Mayor-elect Daniel Lurie has announced that he will forgo the six-figure salary of his new position and take just $1 a year.
In a statement released to KTVU on Monday, the mayor-elect said, "I have spent my life fighting poverty and working to serve this community, and that commitment will continue when I take office. As part of that commitment to service, and because I have the means to forgo compensation, I've made the personal decision not to take a salary.
