"The San Francisco Ethics Commission has now formally accused former Human Rights Commission Executive Director Sheryl Davis of a range of ethics violations that may also amount to illegal acts involving improper gifts and conflicts of interest. Embattled former city commissioner Sheryl Davis, whom former Mayor London Breed also tapped to lead her Dream Keeper Initiative, has been slapped with a 31-page charging document from the city's Ethics Commission."
"Davis herself was previously the executive director of Collective Impact, which runs a community center in the Western Addition, and her romantic partner, James Spingola, whom she has lived with since 2015, runs the organization now. A city audit released in September found this to be a clear conflict of interest, with Davis giving $1.5 million in city grants to Collective Impact as HRC director."
Sheryl Davis is accused by the San Francisco Ethics Commission of multiple ethics violations and possible illegal acts involving improper gifts and conflicts of interest. The commission filed a 31-page charging document and presented evidence on September 9, offering Davis a chance to settle before an administrative hearing. The accusations include three sets of violations, primarily concerning gifts and grants tied to Collective Impact and Urban Ed Academy. Davis previously served as Collective Impact's executive director and her partner now leads the nonprofit. A city audit found a conflict with $1.5 million in city grants awarded to Collective Impact. The commission alleges about $39,000 in improper gifts, including flight upgrades and Martha's Vineyard trip expenses.
