SFist Blotter

Well, just to follow up on yesterday's day of violence, we can't find anything about the late-afternoon incident on Ellis Street that a couple of you guys saw, but there was another shooting around 11:50 p.m. in Visitacion Valley. That one was fatal. (The Examiner also has a list of other recent daytime shootings in SF, if you're interested.)

Phew, let's get to the less life-endangering stuff. Politicians! Matt Gonzalez's 2003 mayoral campaign team was fined $3300 for failing to provide donor information to the Ethics Commission (they said it was a PayPal mixup); an Oakland school board member is being investigated for allegations that sound like he accidentally got in a little over his head with a teen he was mentoring who now says she loves him; and there was a loud argument at the Berkeley City Council where one board member says the mayor always talks over her. Come over and check things out in SF, Berkeley lady!

And that NBA ref who's under investigation for betting on games he was officiating? He was the ref in the crucial Golden State-Mavericks Game 3 from earlier this year.
