 Sam Yoon: Boston City Councilman?
Sam Yoon, who was born in Korea, brought to this country at 10 months, naturalized at age 10, and educated at Princeton and Harvard, has been running to serve as the first Asian Pacific American member of the Boston City Council.
Yoon himself defies stereotypes, because he is a political progressive who serves as an elder at his church and supports gay rights.
Finally, although anti-Asian sentiment has not shown up in Yoon’s campaign so far, Lydia Lowe, executive director of the Chinese Progressive Association and co-chairwoman of the New Majority coalition, found that election officials in 2003 and 2004 were deficient in their posting of bilingual signage, distribution of provisional ballots, and training of election workers.

In October, the San Francisco law firm Cooley Godward settled a $30 million lawsuit in the death of 15- year-old Naeun Yoon, who was struck and killed in 2000 on a busy highway outside Fairfax, Va., by one of its employees - a lawyer accused of making a business call on her cellphone while driving.
After serving a year in jail and surrendering her law license, Jane Wagner was ordered to pay $2 million in damages to Yoon's family by a circuit court jury in Loudoun County, Va. While the firm's insurance company paid $92,500, according to its attorney, John McGavin of Fairfax, the firm was not held liable.
But with the civil suit over the Yoon tragedy, law firms and corporations are now terrified that they could be hit with a million-dollar judgment simply because one of their employees swerves and kills someone while talking about work."
