Jessica Levinson, professor at LMU Loyola Law School and former president of the Los Angeles Ethics Commission, was quoted in CalMatters regarding the private funding of Governor Newsom’s trip to Brazil for the U.N. climate conference. Levinson noted the ethical tension: “On the one hand, you’re trying to protect our scarcest resource, which is taxpayer dollars; on the other hand, you are, of course, allowing private influence over public officials.”
