S.F. ethics complaint targets Govern for California

A complaint filed with the San Francisco Ethics Commission accuses Govern for California, a nonprofit that has historically financed state races, of exceeding campaign contribution limits in the San Francisco general election.   Govern for California has employed eight different chapters of its organization to contribute $500 each to six different supervisor candidates and District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, as first reported by Mission Local on August 6. Each candidate has received a total of at least $4,000 from Govern for California, through different committees representing different branches of the organization.

Hasbro’s three themes bringing in older consumers: CEO

Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down with Hasbro (HAS) CEO Chris Cocks at the Goldman Sachs Communicopia and Technology Conference to discuss the toy company's older customer base, its expansion into gaming, and the state of the industry ahead of the 2024 holiday shopping rush."I think we're a toy company in the most general sense that we're in the industry of play, and we make physical things as well as digital things. But I'd like to think that we're helping to redefine what a toy company can be. You know, to me, a toy company of the future is aged up, it's digital, and it's heavily partner-based. And I think that's been key to each of our turnaround notes," Cocks says.Cocks notes that customers 13 years old and above make up 60% of Hasbro's sales, which makes the […]

Recipe: Nectarine Crisp (Gluten-Free, Grain-Free)

  One of the best things about the summer season is the amazing bounty of fresh fruits that are available.  There’s strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, watermelons, peaches and one of my absolute favorites – the nectarine!

Nectarine Crisp Recipe First  Step: We began by slicing all our nectarines and removing the pits. If […]

Non-SF funds make up 42 percent of school board race money

It’s been a rough few years for the San Francisco Unified School District. In 2022, voters recalled three school board members after the board drew intense criticism for slow school reopenings and other controversies. Since then, declining enrollment has exacerbated a budget crisis. The district’s inability to fully staff its schools has led to the dreaded process of closing and merging them, with the names of the proposed schools on the chopping block to be revealed this month. The board faced yet another shakeup last month when then-President Lainie Motamedi abruptly resigned for “personal and health reasons.”A majority of the board seats — four of seven — are up for grabs this November, making the race all the more important. As with other races, we took a closer look at candidates’ campaign finance filings. Here’s what we found.1. More than […]
