San Francisco mayoral candidate Mark Farrell agreed Monday to pay a $108,000 ethics fine after an investigation found that he illegally commingled funds between his mayoral campaign and another committee created to support a ballot measure, a practice criticized as a way to get around the city’s campaign finance limits.
The settlement, made on the eve of the competitive 13-candidate mayoral race, is the largest ethics fine in recent San Francisco history.
