Kimberly Ellis, director of the San Francisco Department on the Status of Women, was placed on leave last month by Mayor Daniel Lurie amid an ethics investigation and is scheduled to face a vote Wednesday evening on her potential dismissal.

John Pelissero, director of government ethics told the San Francisco Chronicle that the situation “looks potentially like a quid pro quo.”

“Whether it is or not, the ethical issue that arises is that it could appear to be one,” he said.
