Sup. David Campos talks to the media about his proposed legislation to extend due process to undocumented kids.
“Did Mayor Gavin Newsom leak a confidential memo to the Chronicle about Sup. David Campos’ legislation to extend due process to undocumented kids?”
I asked mayoral spokesperson Nathan Ballard this question today. And here’s what he said:
“It’s my understanding that the Chronicle got it from a confidential source,” Ballard replied by email. “You should ask them how they got it.”
As it happens, the Chronicle points to the source of the memo, noting that it was “prepared by the city attorney’s office at the request of Mayor Gavin Newsom.”
In other words, it’s pretty clear that the Mayor’s Office leaked the memo.
