Joe Eskenazi with Mission Local joined the April meeting and discussed the ongoing and continually unfolding corruption scandals that have come to light in San Francisco. Eskanazi discussed how the corruption cases in San Francisco are likely broadening and expanding, though it is hard to know definitively.

Those currently cooperating with the investigation and to keep an eye on include Sandra Zuniga, who was working in the mayor’s office, and Walter Wong who worked as a permit expediter.

He also discussed the Recology case, who knew what when. The narrative that Recology came forward when there was an error is not entirely truthful - they came forward when the gig was up, when Public Works said you’re adding up the numbers wrong and Recology realized that they were going to catch on.

Also Parks Alliance

Eskenazi touched on other topics such as the use of public land for the (private) use of the Ferris Wheel, Parks Alliance’s use as a slush fund for Nuru, and more recently the Parks Alliance’s threat of pulling funding for the Richmond Playground because of Supervisor Chan’s call for an investigation.
