It would be unfair to say San Francisco’s Ethics Commission moves very, very slowly. In order to do that, they’d have to go a lot, lot faster.

As it is, the Ethics Commission operates at a glacial pace (a metaphor nobody will understand in a generation). To wit: Ethics has, to date, completed only three of the mandatory audits of the 16 candidates who received public funds for the 2020 election cycle — among other things, ensuring the people’s money was spent on what candidates said it was spent on, and that campaigns were conducted in a legal, proper manner.
