San Francisco mayoral candidate Mark Farrell is facing allegations from his opponents of skirting campaign finance limits. Wealthy donors, including Sequoia Capital's Michael Moritz, are contributing significant amounts to a ballot measure committee controlled by Farrell. The committee has pooled over $160,000 in expenses between Farrell's mayoral race and the ballot measure, leading to accusations of 'money laundering' with ballot measure funds. Farrell's opponents argue that this practice allows him to bypass campaign finance regulations.
