Today from Mission Local


Good afternoon!

In yet another “strange and terrible saga” of city governance, Joe Eskenazi and Kelly Waldron look into the Ethics Commission’s “delinquent list,” which is largely focused on small-time committee volunteers who forgot to file paperworkโ€”and mostly don’t work anymore for the city. What does this mean for investigation into real corruption?

We’ve got an interesting story on the Cantonese-language debate among candidates for D3 supervisor this weekend. Two of them spoke without interpreters, but the rest relied on interpretation that sometimes went badly awry.

This week in our See how they run series we’re following mayoral candidate Mark Farrell. Read about how he balanced campaigning with a track meet, football coaching, and a prom.

More soon,

Sara
