The city is also still working to earn back voters’ trust after a spiraling corruption scandal within the Department of Public Works and the Department of Building Inspection, which has led to convictions for Mohammed Nuru, former head of the Director of Public Works, and former Public Utilities Commission General Manager Harlan Kelly.

“Those who undermine our contracting processes and exploit public resources are not welcome to do business with our City and will be held accountable,” said City Attorney David Chiu. “I am proud of our attorneys and investigators who have worked diligently to root out corruption and maintain the integrity of City government”

Meanwhile, those hoping to unseat Breed in the mayoral election are laying out their own plans to combat corruption in City Hall.

“You can’t solve the problem when you are the problem, and we can’t trust the same people who built this broken, corrupt bureaucracy to turn it around,” nonprofit founder and Levi Strauss heir Daniel Lurie said in a statement. “I am the only candidate who will bring a new culture of accountability to City Hall on day one.”

Lurie wants to remove a campaign fundraising loophole where candidates are able to raise more than the $500 contribution limit through ballot measure initiatives. He also wants to raise candidate filing fees for those who have records of ethics misconduct, fully fund the Ethics Commission, require reporting for any meals costing over $500, and create an ethics enforcement dashboard to track campaign finance reports, lobbying disclosures, gifts, contracts and other areas for potential conflicts of interest.

The plan explicitly targets several of the ethics complaints that former interim mayor and supervisor Mark Farrell, who is also running for mayor, has faced in the current election cycle. He has come under scrutiny for his ties to the moderate political organizing group Together SF Action, which has raised millions of dollars through a ballot initiative to slash the number of city commissions.

Farrell faced similar accusations for campaign finance violations during his bid in 2010 for San Francisco Supervisor. The Ethics Commission fined Farrell $191,000 – the largest in the city’s history – and he later paid the city $25,000 to settle the case.

Still, Farrell has sought to portray his candidacy as a break from past City Hall scandals.

“I will bring new transparency and accountability from day one,” said Farrell, who has defended his record on the current campaign trail. “I will centralize all third party non profit contracts under the Office of the Mayor to reduce fraud and waste while bringing greater accountability.”

Supervisors running for mayor criticized Breed for the corruption that has come to light during her administration, pointing to their own efforts to weed out corruption in City Hall from within.

“​​Our current mayor’s administration is one of the most corrupt in San Francisco history,” said Supervisor Ahsha Safaí. “More of her senior officials have been convicted of corruption than in any other administration in modern times.”

The Excelsior supervisor pointed to his efforts to maintain funding for the Ethics Commission when Breed attempted to reduce it and said mandating audits of nonprofits and other city contractors will be a priority if he is elected.

The NBA’s debate over the greatest players of all time has slowly evolved into a debate over eras. Many wonder if Bill Russell could play in today’s game or if a player like Giannis Antetkounmpo could play 40 years ago. Denver Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr. believes a guy like Giannis could not only play

Porter Jr. recently joined The Ringer’s Off Guard Podcast with Austin Rivers, where the two debated about the best players in the NBA and the different eras of NBA basketball.

“It’s better now,” Porter Jr. said. “If you take some of these players and put them then… Like, if you put Giannis [Antetokounmpo] in that era, he would’ve been the best player to ever tough a basketball.”

Austin Rivers cut him off to say, “He would’ve broken Wilt’s record. He would’ve had a game with like 140. Just going downhill.”

From athleticism to skill level, basketball has continued to evolve. Players today continue to be more and more skilled, resulting an increase in debates.

“As humans, we’re supposed to evolve and get better the longer we’re doing something,” Porter Jr. added. “So the players now obviously can be more skilled than the players back then, but there’s definitely players you could’ve taken from back then and put them in today’s game and they would’ve adapted. Like if you put Michael Jordan in today’s game, I’m sure he’s shooting way more threes. He’s probably still by far the best player in the NBA.”

These debates aren’t ending anytime soon, as players from today’s game and past eras continue to go back and forth on which eras is the best.

Police have made an arrest after at least four people were believed to be injured in a series of reported shootings on a highway near Seattle. A 20-year-old woman was said to be in a critical condition.

The Washington State Patrol said it is investigating five separate shootings that occurred on Interstate 5 overnight.

The first was reported on I-5 near 320th Street in Federal Way. The second on northbound I-5 near I-90 in Seattle. Another shooting, yet to be confirmed, was reported on northbound I-5 at MLK Jr. Way.

Trooper Rick Johnson, from the Washington State Patrol, added on Tuesday that two further shootings are being investigated. At least four people are believed to have been injured in the incidents.

The suspect vehicle in the first shooting was described as a white Volvo with California plates, according to Johnson.

The WSP posted on X about the first shooting incident at 9:27 p.m., reporting that they were investigating two shootings and a possible third.

The first shooting involved a passenger injury and the WSP said after the shooting occurred, the 911 caller had exited the freeway and drove to a fire station nearby. Their injuries were treated before being taken to the Harborview Medical Center.

The WSP then received another call about a shooting that took place on northbound I-5 at MLK. Nobody was harmed in this shooting, but a vehicle sustained damage.

The WSP then received another call reporting a shooting that occurred at northbound I-5 at I-90, where a passenger had been injured.

The police do not have a description of the suspect vehicles in the other incidents but are, “still actively working to obtain that info.”

The Seattle Fire Department said that after the third shooting incident, their crews were treating a 20-year-old woman who had been reported to be in critical condition. She was also taken to the Harborview Medical Center.

The WSP then reported that there had been two additional shootings, involving one SB 5 near SR 18 and one SB 5 near 54^th in Pierce County.

The suspect vehicle in these two shootings matched the vehicle involved first reported shooting, both of these shootings involved injuries.

Trooper Rick Johnson then shared that an arrest has been made. Posting on X, he thanked the Tacoma PD, Lakewood PDCO, University Place PD, Pierce Country Sheriff and Firecrest PD and revealed that police had made an arrest after locating the suspect vehicle.

Newsweek has reached out to the WSP and the Seattle Fire Department via email for comment.
