This victory is your Rajni and Oakland Report. You fought hard for this and I am proud to have signed your petition. The next steps are going to be critical. We cannot allow the police commission and whatever new agencies Oakland tries to put in to be politically weaponized. We need to closely examine and change certain ordinances in our city charter that hinder our police from doing their job. Onward to our next steps in creating a safe and beautiful Oakland. Mindy Pechenuk, candidate for Oakland Mayor 2026

Thank you for your efforts and time in writing articles like these, Ms Mandal.

It is very encouraging and inspiring that Oaklanders now have more honest media for news and data that are critical for repairing Oakland so it can function and thrive.

Every gravy train runs dry sooner or later. In this case, later.

Id like to thank, again, Brenda Harbin-Forte and others for suing to end Jim Chanin's conflict of interest when he served on the Selection Panel while earning legal fees as long as the federal oversight is in effect.

This was an OBVIOUS conflict of interest and the fact that Jim Chanin still took a seat on the panel, nonchalantly, deserves greater scrutiny of his (lack of) ethics.

will we ever be able to look forward to accountability from any other city department?
