This week, editor Nick Preciado chats with San José Spotlight co-founder and CEO Ramona Giwargis about the organization's joint lawsuit against San Jose and Mayor Sam Liccardo for skirting public transparency laws. Then reporter Tran Nguyen explains how newly-released emails show Liccardo's friend, Carl Guardino, helped craft an exemption to the city's natural gas ban that his company -- Bloom Energy -- benefitted from.
