Alameda County just approved an $800,000 taxpayer-funded settlement over racial discrimination allegations against recalled DA Pamela Price — who is now running to reclaim her old job. Meanwhile, a bill moving through Sacramento could let government-funded immigration nonprofits sue journalists who report on them, and SFMTA quietly gutted 365 affordable units it promised a Mission neighborhood after admitting the funding was never real. Across the Bay Area, the pattern is the same: officials make promises they can't keep, face no personal consequences, and often get promoted anyway.
