Thanks for this valuable analysis. But given the immediate importance of the mayoral election, could you please cover the obscene mailers that the unions backing Barbara Lee have been sending out, trashing Loren Taylor is the most shameful and dishonest way. I am not involved in his campaign at all -- haven't even contributed -- but I have been shocked by the the decietful messages and images to the point of contacting the Lee campaign. They claim she is not responsible for these, but she has refused to disavow them, taking advantage of $250,000 of this support. I'm looking to you to dig into this. Please.
We fully agree with you. We haven't had the bandwidth to cover the misinformation games being played out. But we point you to East Bay Insiders which has done a good job covering it: https://eastbayinsiders.substack.com/
It really seems that the Oakland Police Commission is a "rogue" group of sorts. Un-elected, wielding tremendous power, and in the spirt of Oakland dysfunction, driving the car over the cliff. How to intervene? How is it legal? Are there structural changes that can be made to rein them in?
