Mayor Lurie Yanks Funding for SF Parks Alliance, Amidst Multiple City Probes Into Agency's Finances
Briefly

The SF Parks Alliance, a nonprofit known for hosting free outdoor movie events in San Francisco, is embroiled in a financial scandal that prompted Mayor Lurie to suspend funding. Investigations have revealed that the organization allegedly misused nearly $4 million of other groups' funds, prompting layoffs and resignations among its staff. The chair, Louise Mozingo, referred to the financial situation as a 'dumpster fire.' The scandal has raised significant concerns regarding financial oversight and access to funds by associated neighborhood groups, causing a ripple effect of trust issues in community support services.
SF District Attorney Brooke Jenkins threw gasoline at that dumpster fire when her office announced Tuesday that they were conducting a criminal investigation into the Parks Alliance.
The organization's chair Louise Mozingo, admitted to the Chronicle that her group's finances resemble what a friend of mine would call a dumpster fire.
