Oakland Report’s Newsstand is a daily roundup of Oakland news from across the spectrum. “I got 5” features the top five headlines we found interesting or notable this week.
150k for drones and probably another $1m to hire people to operate them.

Excellent choice of articles for this week's top headlines. We can solve all these problems with new good leadership for Oakland.

Our children are our future, if they can not read and grow up to contribute to the future we have no future. Literacy is the the new civil rights movement of today.
