		<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[Today is a Furlough Friday, when the City of Oakland&#8217;s non-emergency services are closed to the public. Because of the Martin Luther King holiday, the City has a four-day weekend. Branch libraries will be closed on Tuesday as well. Oaklanders have come to accept that our ever-worsening budget crisis will mean a decrease in City [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Eager readers of the blogoaksphere certainly noticed many bloggers’ cause du jour – preventing the city from installing a surface parking lot in the middle of downtown’s up-and-coming Uptown neighborhood. The issue touched on a lot of the causes dear to bloggers’ hearts: pedestrian and transit-oriented planning, civic engagement, and enjoying nightlife. While advocates were [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, deeply unpopular Mayor Ron Dellums named his long-time aide, Interim City Administrator Dan Lindheim, permanent City Administrator. Nevermind that the interim appointment of Mr. Lindheim was illegal, or that Mr. Lindheim has no experience as a city manager, or that his seven months as interim administration have been among the city’s worst. His appointment must be confirmed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In creating the 2007 budget, Oakland’s City Council made a critical decision that would place the most basic and necessary piece of bicycle infrastructure in serious jeopardy. In switching to higher-revenue, sidewalk-friendly “Pay and Display” parking kiosks, and so removing parking meters, Oakland would lose the vast majority of legal bicycle parking. Bike/ped activists recognized [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While library cuts and management perks dominate headlines about Oakland&#8217;s budget, the vast majority of city spending is currently being negotiated behind closed doors: employee compensation. City staff, who have been working without a contract since the summer, have complained to their ally Mayor Dellums as well as to the Council and the public that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think that a good way to gauge how a candidate will perform in any aspect of their job is to look at whom the real stakeholders in the community are backing. I&#8217;ve been looking at the endorsements each candidate for Oakland Mayor has received, and I found the results quite striking. (Lists of endorsements [...]]]></description>
