S.F. ethics commission fines Mark Farrell $108K for campaign violations

The San Francisco Ethics Commission has fined mayoral candidate Mark Farrell some $108,000 for commingling funds between his campaign committees, a practice that his rivals had long criticized as an effective end-run around the city’s campaign finance limits. Farrell and ethics commission staff signed a settlement agreement on Oct. 25, and Farrell acknowledged responsibility for the violations and agreed to pay the fine.
