This is not technically untrue, but the short sentence is somewhat misleading. Ms. Schaaf was not a Councilwoman when she was a founding member of Make Oakland Better Now.

More than 80,000 trees will be chopped down if this proposal goes through as is. Currently, FEMA is leading this process, and is on its way to funding the clear-cutting. Without FEMA's cash, the trees will not be cut down.

I agree that FEMA has done a miserable job at publicizing these plans -- but some of the blame also falls on UC Berkeley, East Bay Regional Park District, and the City of Oakland, who are partners in the project and have failed to properly inform folks as well.

I have to disagree with your characterization of Oakland voters in wealthy areas of the city. Traditionally, they've been far more moderate, and far more pro-police than folks in the flatlands.

I think you're seriously underestimating the knowledge, abilities, and experiences of Compliance Director Thomas Frazier and Court Monitor Robert Warshaw. These guys are NOT anti-police.

This is a city of which close to a majority of whom collectively voted for two mayoral candidates, Quan and Kaplan, who famously body blocked OPD during the first Oscar Grant demonstration.

The matinee performances will be followed by an audience discussion with Piper and representatives from local violence prevention programs. These may be some of the most vital conversations the Oakland community will have about violence in our city, precisely because of the presence and voices of elders and young adults in the house.

To his credit, he did contradict some of her more ridiculous assertions, but generally he went along with the Mayor.

Your optimistism that Frazier via interim chief Whent is a big improvement is not justified. We've switched from a police chief who was a lapdog for the Mayor to one who is a yes man for Thomas Frazier.

I'm glad you brought up Measure DD.

Measure DD was funded as a capital project via $198 million in bonds, but there is no money for the operations and maintenance budget for the lakefront improvements. Deanna Santana pointed this out at the recent community forum on public safety sponsored by Make Oakland Better Now!
