Thank you, Oakland Report, for zooming in to give us granular details about all the issues, technical, economic & political, and for zooming out to keep our human perspective and empathy. Bravo. I hope the Board can see its way to not only accept your offer, but have the sense to recognize (and realize!) the deeper value and basic humanity it offers.
I love this idea. Bread-breaking journalism feels like ground-breaking journalism to me. In November I spent three hours eating barbecue in Waco, Texas, with a fellow I went to college with. We have almost surely voted differently than each other in every election since graduation, more than fifty years ago. Our one ground-rule: "No Politics." Result: Three of my most enjoyable hours of a very enjoyable month.

The short video depicts a lot of what's wrong at the Board of OUSD:
No decorum, playing politics and no co-operation among the members.

Excellent idea! Breaking bread together. How essential that has been to humans since the beginning.
