I see an indictment in her future.
Disgraced San Francisco city boss Sheryl Davis preached about human rights, but allegedly squandered a fortune in taxpayer funds on luxe travel, sports tickets, her son’s college tuition and personal PR — resulting in 17 felony charges.
The former head of the San Francisco Human Rights Commission and her longtime live-in partner, James Spingola, are facing felony charges for allegedly using money intended to help the city’s black communities for personal benefit.
“This is certainly a lesson for the city that there has to be an infrastructure for checks and balances so things like this don’t happen,” said District Attorney Brooke Jenkins on Monday.

In 2023, for example, the Human Rights Commission paid $8,000 to a nonprofit Total Women Empowerment Inc. to fund a “Queen’s Weekend Retreat,” with the stated purpose of helping the unknown participants “serve themselves to continue to service their community.”
