Dear friends, family, and colleagues,

After more than a year of hard work, the story that began as my master’s thesis and turned into an investigative project for California Watch has finally been published. It ran on the front pages of the San Francisco Chronicle and the Bakersfield Californian, and is also available on the California Watch website. If you have a few minutes, please check out my article and the accompanying video:
