On Tuesday and Wednesday, The Island reported that Councilwoman Lena Tam is facing accusations of officials misconduct for allegedly leaking confidential information to SunCal, the firefighters union and others, and for allegedly violating state open meetings law by emailing groups of council members to discuss city business. The Alameda County District Attorney’s office has been asked to pass the case to a grand jury so they can consider whether Tam should be removed from office. Tam has denied the claims.
