Less than a month after a key measure to change San Jose’s election dates failed to make it to the ballot, Ben Field has resigned.

Faced with calls to resign and many members defecting to the Fraternal Order of Police, Sgt. Paul Kelly has since changed his tune.

It’s a slick ad apparently produced to undermine Lan Diep’s re-election bid. According to its critics however, the piece is full of falsehoods.

Come Jan. 1, 2020, California police will only be allowed to resort to deadly force if they have no other options.

The Daily Fetch takes no prisoners—at least that’s what political consultant and lobbyist Dustin DeRollo told Fly when denying he has any role in producing the anonymous links blog. In the past six months, the Fetch—under new ownership—has taken a decidedly aggressive tone in going after everyone from Mayor Chuck Reed, his City Council allies and defeated county supervisorial candidate Teresa Alvarado to Metro and its staff. But one group that has received far less criticism from the blog is the organized labor machine and its elected allies, such as Cindy Chavez. So, when DeRollo’s name turned up as the quasi-editor of a PDF the site posted for a story last week, speculation in Silicon Valley political circles percolated that he and his business partner, Tom Saggau, have been orchestrating the site. Both men say that couldn’t be further from the truth, claiming DeRollo was improperly ratted out as a source for a story he expected not to lead back to him.
