Interim mayor and mayoral candidate Ed Lee, and former Mayor Willie Brown.
This is a summary of the ethics allegations against Ed Lee, which now include breaking his promise not to run for mayor in San Francisco in 2011, when he accepted the Board of Supervisors' interim appointment in January:
1) exceeding campaign spending limits with the help of a faux activist organization, Progress for All,
2) using employees of the City garbage company to collect signatures for the Ed Lee campaign,
3) using employees of the Chinatown Community Development Center, a social service agency receiving City funds, to staff the Ed Lee campaign,
4) encouraging recipients of City housing and food subsidies delivered by the Chinatown Community Development Center to volunteer for Ed Lee.
