AARON PESKIN CONTROLLED COMMITTEE RECEIVES $20,000 from ad agency which backed Peskin ballot measure
31 October 2007
A committee controlled by Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin and set up to promote a Muni overhaul measure on the November ballot received a $20,000 campaign contribution from Clear Channel Outdoor Inc. just two days before Peskin and other supervisors voted to award the company a Muni advertising contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars over the next 20 years, The San Francisco Chronicle reported today.
The contribution from Clear Channel to the San Franciscans for Clean Air & Better MUNI committee on Oct. 15 - two days before the supervisors’ 9-1 initial approval of the advertising deal between the company and the city Metropolitan Transportation Agency - appears to violate a city law meant to stamp out influence-buying by contractors seeking business deals with San Francisco government, Chronicle Staff Writer Robert Selna reported.
