This week, Andy's got the story of David Alvarez and his potential violation of city ethics law.

The former San Diego city councilman, and now candidate for the state Assembly, worked for SDG&E before the mandated “cool off” period was over. Whether he was lobbying is the big question.

Plus: Gov. Gavin Newsom's plan to help with gas prices. And local governments are so over COVID.
