Sean, I think you are shining a spotlight on a very troubling trend, especially here in Oakland. How political special interest forces like a teacher's Union act like a violent mob perpetuating their own incompetence and disturbing agenda.

Hi Seneca— you have a point about the mayor’s non-action not necessarily being related to Oakland’s odd governance structure, although I think your point would have been stronger had you not followed up with a personal attack that seems more likely to result in people pulling back from the conversation than engaging in it :)

What does the charter have to do with mayor Lee refusing to break a tie?

Stop trying to deflect and blame incompetence, cowardice and corruption on the charter Steve.

Also, where were you in 2022 when I ran for mayor on a charter amendment? Not soul brought it up in the mayors race, save me.

I have asked you this question many time, and you ignore me. I believe you know I’m on to your deflection and sycophancy for the current regime, so you run from debate.
