The City of Oakland loses its fourth appeal in massive lawsuit over its shipping terminal development. Now the city faces hundreds of millions in damages. If awarded, Oaklanders will foot the bill.
Thanks again for the great work. Please keep the spotlight on the incompetence and political nonsense. This is the truth that needs to be out there. Please repost this everywhere! In future we need a version of OR for non-readers who vote.
Time to read the room. Even tho popular opinion is hugely anti-coal, Ill-advised and rash moves by prior elected officials bring Oakland to this no-win juncture. The costs of poor management will echo for decades from this- potholes, libraries, other services … or yet another special assessment tax. So helpful that OR keeps a focused eye on current going’s on
So it sounds like the City is on the hook for AT LEAST $230 million if not much more? I'm no fan of coal but it always seemed like overreach for the city to clamp down on one use of the port.
Thank you to the Oakland Report for continuing to highlight the quality of Oakland’s leadership.
Thank you. So does the city of Oakland have the option for filing bankruptcy? Or what can the city do when it has no money?
