Mayor Breed's practice of deleting official text messages has prompted scrutiny from the Sunshine Ordinance Task Force, yet the likelihood of consequences remains minimal following her re-election loss.
The Sunshine Ordinance Task Force condemned Breed's routine deletion of text messages regarding city business as an 'egregious' and 'negligent' violation of public records laws, pushing for investigation.
Despite the task force's referral to the Ethics Commission, city attorney Valerie Lopez indicated that if Breed is no longer in office, the commission might decline jurisdiction.
In a 2014 memo, the Ethics Commission highlighted its limited enforcement capabilities regarding public records, complicating the potential ramifications of the task force's findings against Breed.
