I think in the past 2-3 years, CB and Nick Grube, especially, have done an AMAZING job of forcing some sunlight and accountability into what was previously a neglected, festering wound of abuse, mismanagement and non-accountability known as HPD. 

That the Police Commission was COMPLICIT in a lot of the dysfunction was obvious and after hard, relentless reporting here, we saw...amazingly, the replacing of long time Kirk Crapwell benefactor Ron Taketa and the placement of popular and competent members Ms Sheehan and Mr Levinson. That Crapwell put another contributor/lobbyist in the position to replace Taketa is indicative of Crapwell's insecurities and need to keep the commission as "his". Hopefully even that will change one day soon.
