    Why is there a deficit? How about cut the salaries and or cut the council member seats, they aren't doing anything for the city as it is..

    She should resign for the sake of the city but she won't and so we continue to spiral down the crime and homeless path. The one GOOD thing she can do is give Oakland a chance by allowing new leadership. She's lost any support and that was dwindling.
  • @Timothan28
    You guys wanted this! When the police was doing their job, you condemned them for it. Now no one wants to be a police officer and you're still blaming the police department. How do you make public safety a priority when you don't support your police department???

    People only catch a break with Thao if you slip Sheng money. What needs to be done ? Toss Sheng out of office and the DA plus other soft on crime city council people. Why do people want to live and work in Oakland if crime, open air drug use, homelessness is rampant ? End sanctuary city policies across the state

    This is your doing Oakland voters. Defund the police was a smart move.
  • Performative greivance and petulance will get you nowhere. Show some leadership and maturity, Mayor Thao. Brokeland, your city, is going down the tubes.

    The FBI should set up a whistle blower program of there own for Oakland city employees. Until that happens they will never know how much corruption goes on in all the different departments
  • Just deep dived into this - Thao has a fair point - how come she got raided when others who are guilty of far more sit pretty in their mansions? Curious from NYC asking for real.

    It's been a tough couple of decades for Oakland, and the current grifters are doing nothing to improve Oakland.

    YOu people left Mayor Libby Schaaf in office while doing nothing!
  • I drive through warm springs area in Fremont and Milpitas and yes, I do smell the paint every day from Tesla. Yes, this is a daily smell over the area from Interstate 880 over to 680 the pain smell is very strong over 20 square miles.

    Bet if you gave me that budget, I could red line the crap out of it and never touch fire, police or emergency services...
  • Bishop Bob Jackson has stood 💪🏽 while the National NAACP smeared him. I love him for continuing to do Gods work and speak the truth on the violence that everyone continues to ignore. 😢
  • How can any cities especially Oakland to solve homelessness? Let's focus on public safety and protection of business owners first.
  • @teegees
    Ngl it does look like a very coordinated effort to oust her. Has Oakland ever had a good mayor? I doubt whoever replaces her will do any better, especially if they come from the elite class. Maybe she dealt with some bad actors but my gut tells me her heart is in the right place in that she’s driven to fight for the people and not the elite class.
  • @TaharkahX
    The mayor is clearly unwell. What the hell is she even taking about?
  • @marylee8771
    Bishop Jackson, it's your district that's cause of the crime!
