When is Oakland going to wake up and elect leaders who knows how to run a city rather than being all talk? Dellum’s big ideas were good for being one of hundreds of congress reps, but now he is the executive of a troubled city. How does picking up the garbage, cleaning up the streets, fixing the potholes, fixing the schools, reducing crime, keeping people safe fit into his “model city”? Or, in a model city, do these problems just levitate and disappear on their own? Get REAL and get it done! At lease Jerry Brown had one or two things he got done.
