INVESTIGATIVE REPORT
Editor-at-Large
San Diego City Attorney Mara Elliott this week sent out an email soliciting contributions to a legal defense fund – claiming her campaign opponent filed “frivolous lawsuits” against her – but her email mentions two lawsuits that do not fall under the Municipal Code that allows public officials to raise money for legal expenses, and her paperwork filed to create the committee seems to violate the law.
Elliott’s email, titled “
Cory Briggs personally sued me three times” and that “
I need your help to support our Legal Defense Fund to beat back Cory Briggs’ ridiculous attacks in court“. Briggs is a local attorney that ran against Elliott in last year’s election.

Some advocacy groups are taking a proactive approach in their opposition to forthcoming U.S. Postal Service reforms, citing them as part of a lawsuit before they have even been formally announced.
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy will soon propose sweeping changes to the operations of the U.S. Postal Service, which will include a slowdown in the delivery window for some mail. The reform measures, which the embattled DeJoy has said will merely reflect current realities on the ground, have already generated significant controversy and will likely be met with opposition from several corners of the mailing world.

Two decades ago, a former rodeo cowboy went undercover in Tulia, Texas. He targeted dozens of Black residents and accused them of selling small amounts of cocaine. He lied on the stand. Some defendants received sentences of decades in prison on his word alone.
The Lone Star State’s attorney general named the former rodeo cowboy as lawman of the year. But not long after, a young attorney weeks into her job at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund flew down to Texas, where she launched a campaign to fight for the defendants’ freedom and eventually secured a multimillion-dollar settlement.
