CAO Charles McKee was allowed to send a claim to a secret office.

"Because of family connections, Bernal is capable of collecting piles of campaign contributions from ag and South County oil interests. In past campaigns, he also has been helped by the Republican Party’s ability to tap into corporate political action committees."
Christian Schneider is telling the truth here. I know. I looked into every aspect of Steve Bernal. Then. Far deeper than anyone.

.@KSBW has an ethics in journalism problem:

1. Dan Green - KSBW's main anchor for decades, set up a business named OMG Media. It does public relations for @SVMHS - which is the entity that bogusly played the role of "fiscal agent" for the non-profit Partners for Peace.

2. Amy Larson was a reporter for KSBW. She cozied up to a lot of sources and flew to Costa Rica to hang out with a 2014 defeated sheriff Scott Miller.

Larson was fired from KSBW, according to well placed sources, and got a job via @Kelly_McMillin at @IndusCannabis

Larson left that job, telling @mcweekly editor @maryrduan that the place was "very dark" and "shady".

Larson was then interviewed by two agents with the @FBI Oakland office.

Now she works for @kron4news.
