S.F. D.A. Brooke Jenkins Said she Volunteered in the Boudin Recall. But a Group Linked to a Recall Backer Paid her More Than $100,000
John P. Pellisero, a senior scholar at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University, said that as Jenkins campaigns to complete the final year of Boudin’s term, voters may question her decision to accept payment from an organization tied to the recall just before getting appointed.
“Citizens may view her compensation as a consultant to help remove the DA as an inappropriate role just prior to being appointed to succeed the incumbent DA that she sought to remove from office.”
“The ethical problem here,” he said, “is one of perception.”
