SF: Shuttle drivers forced to donate to Mayor Lee's campaign.
A manager at GO Lorrie’s, one of the largest passenger shuttle companies at San Francisco International Airport, solicited and reimbursed as much as $8,000 in contributions from employees to the election campaign of interim Mayor Ed Lee, employees told The Bay Citizen this week.

If so, such actions may violate the California Political Reform Act, which prohibits donors from channeling money through others to sidestep contribution limits.

City records show that 16 GO Lorrie’s employees — including drivers, dispatchers and a clerk — gave $500 each to Lee’s campaign, the maximum allowed under city law. No other business had as many employees contribute to the mayor.
