"It's great to have our team and work recognized by others in our field," editor Nick Preciado said. "I think San José at times gets less attention than other large Bay Area cities, which makes it easy for issues such as corruption and inequality to go unnoticed. We're here to expose it."
We sued San Jose and its former mayor for improperly withholding public records, and scored a resounding victory when a judge ruled the city and mayor violated the law. During the nationally-watched San Jose mayor's race, which became the costliest election in city history, we created a data tool to help readers "follow the money" and track how special interests are involved. We revealed how a former tech executive accused in a vicious stalking campaign wields power at San Jose City Hall, and uncovered how Santa Clara County politicians secretly appointed a CEO without transparency, forcing a revote. We followed a yearlong effort to clear the city's largest homeless camp and explain where those folks ended up.
