He co-founded the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a> in 2019 to obtain and report on previously confidential police internal investigations. The effort produced well over 100 original stories and changed the course of multiple criminal cases.\r\n\r\nHis work has been recognized with numerous journalism awards, including a national Edward R. Murrow award for several years of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11688481/sfpd-officers-in-mario-woods-case-recount-shooting-in-newly-filed-depositions\">reporting\u003c/a> on the San Francisco Police shooting of Mario Woods.

(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The California Public Utilities Commission announced Monday that it's taking steps to deal with newly uncovered \"inappropriate email exchanges\" earlier this year between a Pacific Gas & Electric Co. executive and senior CPUC officials, including CPUC President Michael Peevey and his chief of staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, the commission said the chief of staff, Carol Brown, has agreed to resign. For his part, Peevey has recused himself from the rate case that was at the center of the newly disclosed emails, as well as the commission's ongoing deliberations over final penalties against PG&E for the September 2010 San Bruno gas pipeline disaster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the CPUC made its action public, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pge.com/about/newsroom/newsreleases/20140915/pge_takes_action_to_address_ex_parte_communication_issues_identified_in_self-report_to_cpuc_today__pledges_no_excuses_compliance.shtml\">PG&E announced\u003c/a> it had dismissed three executives involved in the email exchanges, including Brian Cherry, vice president for regulatory relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company said the messages \"may have violated CPUC rules prohibiting certain ex parte communications -- meaning communication with decision-makers that takes place without the knowledge of all parties to a proceeding.\" PG&E said it discovered the exchange of emails during a review of five years of emails between the company and the commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exchange is apparently separate from a series of messages \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/San-Bruno-E-mails-show-cozy-ties-between-state-5647686.php\">made public in July\u003c/a>. Those messages included emails between Peevey, Brown and CPUC Executive Director Paul Clanon with Cherry and others at PG&E. Both the company and the commission defended the earlier emails, which discussed issues relating to the San Bruno blast and its regulatory aftermath, as routine messages necessary for the conduct of business. San Bruno city officials and The Utility Reform Network (TURN) blasted the emails as unethical, unprofessional and possibly illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The email exchanges disclosed Monday and \u003ca href=\"http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/PUC/News/Sept_15_2014_Email_Documents.htm\" target=\"_blank\">published on the CPUC website\u003c/a> focused on a major proceeding initiated last December in which the commission is to set future rates for PG&E's gas transmission and storage services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"1ZlvWGHIBAVYPVjbKV9aQuP5t1JgvMCc\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a series of messages sent in January 2014, PG&E's Cherry sought inside information from Brown, Peevey's chief of staff, about which commissioner and which of the CPUC's administrative law judges would be assigned to oversee the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his messages, Cherry expressed a preference for the appointment of Commissioner Mike Florio and Administrative Law Judge John Wong. His tone is peremptory at times, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/NR/rdonlyres/1BA98111-7928-4095-872C-3420A39E1D83/0/011514.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">as when he wrote Brown\u003c/a>, in reference to Wong's appointment, \"Can you get it done ASAP please?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cherry pointedly opposed the appointment of judges he said were unfriendly to the company. In several brief notes, Brown told Cherry that Wong would be unavailable for the case due to a heavy workload.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Cherry persisted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/NR/rdonlyres/7DA28131-CED9-4CA0-A778-0C975F5C858B/0/011714c.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">he wrote directly to Peevey\u003c/a> that Wong's apparent unavailability \"is a problem. Hope Carol [Brown] can fix it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/NR/rdonlyres/5B451854-9135-4F6B-9DA9-C0ABEA856DD8/0/011714.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"> Cherry wrote Brown\u003c/a>, \"I'm not sure we could get someone worse\" when he learned of one judge's possible appointment to the case. He told Brown another judge candidate \"screwed us royally\" in an earlier case. \"Let's just say she has a history of being very hard on us,\" he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cherry also emailed Commissioner Florio about Wong's appointment, asking \"what cases Wong is working on that is keeping him so busy?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, the gas transmission case was assigned to Wong, prompting Cherry to write Brown, \"Thank you, thank you, thank you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The appointment also occasioned an email from Florio to Cherry, saying, \"I trust you're happier now?? Not sure how this came about, but John is the best.\" As part of the CPUC's statement today, Florio conceded he \"should not have\" responded to \"PG&E's inappropriate inquiry.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TURN, which had earlier called for Peevey to recuse himself from the CPUC's San Bruno proceeding, on Monday said he should resign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is clear that PG&E was calling the shots at the CPUC, and was accustomed to doing so,” said Mark Toney, TURN’s executive director, in a statement. Toney said the emails show “PG&E had a personal shopper in Peevey’s office, helping to pick and choose the judges that suited PG&E best.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Toney said TURN wants PG&E to make public every email sent to CPUC commissioners and staff for the last five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its statement, PG&E said it was dismissing Cherry, senior vice president of regulatory affairs Tom Bottorff and vice president of regulatory proceedings and rates Trina Horner. The company said it's creating a new oversight position, chief regulatory compliance officer. It also announced it's retaining former Interior Secretary Ken Salazar \"as special counsel on regulatory compliance matters to assist in developing a best-in-class regulatory compliance model.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The California Public Utilities Commission announced Monday that it's taking steps to deal with newly uncovered \"inappropriate email exchanges\" earlier this year between a Pacific Gas & Electric Co. executive and senior CPUC officials, including CPUC President Michael Peevey and his chief of staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, the commission said the chief of staff, Carol Brown, has agreed to resign. For his part, Peevey has recused himself from the rate case that was at the center of the newly disclosed emails, as well as the commission's ongoing deliberations over final penalties against PG&E for the September 2010 San Bruno gas pipeline disaster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the CPUC made its action public, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pge.com/about/newsroom/newsreleases/20140915/pge_takes_action_to_address_ex_parte_communication_issues_identified_in_self-report_to_cpuc_today__pledges_no_excuses_compliance.shtml\">PG&E announced\u003c/a> it had dismissed three executives involved in the email exchanges, including Brian Cherry, vice president for regulatory relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company said the messages \"may have violated CPUC rules prohibiting certain ex parte communications -- meaning communication with decision-makers that takes place without the knowledge of all parties to a proceeding.\" PG&E said it discovered the exchange of emails during a review of five years of emails between the company and the commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exchange is apparently separate from a series of messages \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/San-Bruno-E-mails-show-cozy-ties-between-state-5647686.php\">made public in July\u003c/a>. Those messages included emails between Peevey, Brown and CPUC Executive Director Paul Clanon with Cherry and others at PG&E. Both the company and the commission defended the earlier emails, which discussed issues relating to the San Bruno blast and its regulatory aftermath, as routine messages necessary for the conduct of business. San Bruno city officials and The Utility Reform Network (TURN) blasted the emails as unethical, unprofessional and possibly illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

His tone is peremptory at times, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/NR/rdonlyres/1BA98111-7928-4095-872C-3420A39E1D83/0/011514.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">as when he wrote Brown\u003c/a>, in reference to Wong's appointment, \"Can you get it done ASAP please?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cherry pointedly opposed the appointment of judges he said were unfriendly to the company. In several brief notes, Brown told Cherry that Wong would be unavailable for the case due to a heavy workload.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Cherry persisted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/NR/rdonlyres/7DA28131-CED9-4CA0-A778-0C975F5C858B/0/011714c.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">he wrote directly to Peevey\u003c/a> that Wong's apparent unavailability \"is a problem. Hope Carol [Brown] can fix it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/NR/rdonlyres/5B451854-9135-4F6B-9DA9-C0ABEA856DD8/0/011714.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"> Cherry wrote Brown\u003c/a>, \"I'm not sure we could get someone worse\" when he learned of one judge's possible appointment to the case. He told Brown another judge candidate \"screwed us royally\" in an earlier case. \"Let's just say she has a history of being very hard on us,\" he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cherry also emailed Commissioner Florio about Wong's appointment, asking \"what cases Wong is working on that is keeping him so busy?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, the gas transmission case was assigned to Wong, prompting Cherry to write Brown, \"Thank you, thank you, thank you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The appointment also occasioned an email from Florio to Cherry, saying, \"I trust you're happier now?? Not sure how this came about, but John is the best.\" As part of the CPUC's statement today, Florio conceded he \"should not have\" responded to \"PG&E's inappropriate inquiry.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TURN, which had earlier called for Peevey to recuse himself from the CPUC's San Bruno proceeding, on Monday said he should resign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is clear that PG&E was calling the shots at the CPUC, and was accustomed to doing so,” said Mark Toney, TURN’s executive director, in a statement. Toney said the emails show “PG&E had a personal shopper in Peevey’s office, helping to pick and choose the judges that suited PG&E best.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Toney said TURN wants PG&E to make public every email sent to CPUC commissioners and staff for the last five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its statement, PG&E said it was dismissing Cherry, senior vice president of regulatory affairs Tom Bottorff and vice president of regulatory proceedings and rates Trina Horner. The company said it's creating a new oversight position, chief regulatory compliance officer. It also announced it's retaining former Interior Secretary Ken Salazar \"as special counsel on regulatory compliance matters to assist in developing a best-in-class regulatory compliance model.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Head coach Jim Harbaugh has said McDonald is entitled to constitutional due process rights before the team acts, a stance reiterated\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.mercurynews.com/kawakami/2014/09/09/jed-york/\" target=\"_blank\"> during a KNBR interview Tuesday\u003c/a> by team owner Jed York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"#breedresolution\">Breed's resolution\u003c/a> argues that \"while criminal defendants are innocent until proven guilty and prosecutors must prove charges beyond a reasonable doubt, the threshold of accountability should rightly be lower for decisions about participating in a corporate athletic event for the public’s entertainment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed also noted that former 49ers players have supported the idea of keeping McDonald off the field while Santa Clara County law enforcement officials investigate the case. And she mentions that when San Francisco city employees face serious criminal charges related to their jobs, it's standard operating procedure to put them on paid administrative leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The resolution comes a day after the issue of domestic violence committed by NFL players leaped again into national headlines with \u003ca href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2014/09/08/ray-rice-elevator-knockout-fiancee-takes-crushing-punch-video/\" target=\"_blank\">the disclosure of a video\u003c/a> showing Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice punching and knocking out his fiancee in a New Jersey hotel elevator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rice reached a plea agreement in that February incident that allowed him to avoid trial on aggravated assault charges. NFL Commission Roger Goodell later suspended Rice for two games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The leniency of that penalty \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/02/sports/football/roger-goodell-defends-his-two-game-suspension-of-ray-rice.html\" target=\"_blank\">prompted outrage\u003c/a> from domestic violence survivors and their supporters and from many voices in the media. On Aug. 28, three days before McDonald's arrest, Goodell admitted \"I didn't get it right\" in the Rice case and announced a new disciplinary policy, summarized this way \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/29/sports/football/roger-goodell-admits-he-was-wrong-and-alters-nfl-policy-on-domestic-violence.html\" target=\"_blank\">by The New York Times\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>...
