While government ethics experts contacted by The Chronicle could find no apparent breach of the law, the money Jenkins received could undercut the thrust of her origin story as a wary citizen galvanized into action solely by her own volition. 

Parisa Safarzadeh, a spokesperson for Breed’s office, said the mayor did not have concerns about the financial relationship. “The important thing is that the district attorney disclosed it in her form,” Safarzadeh said.

In a statement of economic interest filed with the city, Jenkins disclosed receiving a payment of more than $100,000 for consulting work with Neighbors for a Better San Francisco, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that claims to seek solutions “that will improve the quality of life and governance in San Francisco.” Federal tax law prohibits 501(c)(3) organizations from participating in virtually all political activity.

Under federal law, 501(c)(4) organizations can engage in political activity.

Neighbors for a Better San Francisco and Neighbors for a Better San Francisco Advocacy share the same San Rafael address, according to state filings. The filings were first reported by the San Francisco Standard.

But in the months following her resignation, city filings released this week show, she was paid more than $100,000 for consulting work by a nonprofit affiliated with the recall effort. Mayor London Breed would...

Doesn't look like she broke any laws.

chesa was screwed and jenkins sucks. some people don’t want to admit this, but it’s the truth. homeless problem and burglaries are going to be a problem either way because the DA can’t fix the actual problem in the city.

Yeah but declining to prosecute assaults on heath care workers because “they need help” then guess who comes back the next week doing the same crap. fuck Chesa.

 

Everyone in my dept who was able to vote for the recall, did.
