Today from Mission Local

Good afternoon!

A committee of the Sunshine Task Force says that Mayor Daniel Lurie broke the law by withholding records of his October call with President Trump about a planned S.F. immigration enforcement surge.” Joe Rivano Barros reports that Lurie is claiming “attorney-client privilege” to keep the records secret.

Read the back story from Joe Eskenazi about Lurie’s account of what he said to change the president’s mind.

Four San Francisco RV dwellers say a man in a city workerโ€™s outreach uniform has been selling temporary parking permits for up to $500 in cash, write Marina Newman and Mariana Garcia. We have text messages from an RV dweller to the worker.

In tastier city news, Xueer Lu and Io Yeh Gilman were tasked with helping judge the annual City Hall bake-off, working through “vast amounts of buttercream” to find the best cakeโ€”and the best dessert puns. Take a look.

More soon,
