		<description><![CDATA[CORRECTED, at bottom. Though support for Occupy Oakland is clearly plunging quickly, I&#8217;m amazed there is any organized support left for the encampment following the utterly predictable events of Occupy’s big protest last Wednesday. The next day the City Council heard public testimony and a staff report about the illegal encampment that has forced them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow two groups of four Councilmembers will present competing budgets for adoption by the City of Oakland. By far the most controversial of all proposed cuts is Mayor Jean Quan&#8217;s threat to cut 90% of the staff of the Oakland Public Library, violating the terms of the 2004 Measure Q parcel tax that provides additional [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oakland is two months into the administration of Mayor Jean Quan. In one mayoral campaign mailer from 2010, Ms. Quan compared her approach to governance to an open door, in contrast with the closed, secretive decision-making of former Mayor Dellums or rival candidate Don Perata. Unfortunately, because of steps the Mayor and some Council Members [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I wrote on InOakland today, a recent Federal Transit Administration ruling comes as close as legally possible to promising that BART&#8217;s deeply flawed Oakland Airport Connector will be denied federal funding. The FTA ruling was based on a complaint filed by Public Advocates on behalf of Urban Habitat and TransForm, pointing out that BART&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

The Board voted for a non-binding resolution to &#8220;buy American,&#8221; service cuts were postponed while the agency sought to transfer Congestion Management and Air Quality funds from capital improvements to operations, and long-time General Manager Rick Fernandez resigned.
