City Attorney Dennis Herrera has fought for gun control, same-sex marriage rights, universal health care and climate change protections. He’s taken on everyone from President Trump to bad landlords.
But after 20 busy years, Herrera is leaving his job if Mayor London Breed’s nomination of him to lead the city’s troubled Public Utilities Commission wins approval. The FBI in November charged the agency’s previous general manager, Harlan Kelly, with accepting bribes from a city contractor and permit consultant.
