"KJ vs City Attorney flap gets nastier
So the Fair Political Practices Commission today said that mayor Kevin Johnson is off the hook for any legal conflict of interest regarding an upcoming council vote to help along his strong mayor initiative. As I reported last week (and in tomorrow’s Bites column, the wonders of weekly journalism), City Attorney Eileen Teichert figured that KJ had a conflict because he loaned $25,000 to Sacramentans for Accountable Government, the committee running his strong mayor campaign. And, as reported, Johnson got around the problem, at least in part, by forgiving the loan and making it a gift."
