		<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[2010 is of course an election year, and it&#8217;s looking like an exciting one in Oakland, with a likely open mayoral seat, perhaps an open Council seat, and two open County Supervisor seats. Two x-factors complicate the elections: the adoption of Ranked Choice Voting and November City elections; and the effect of campaign finance rules [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Three years ago today, V Smoothe and I started this blog, FutureOakland (then on blogspot). We were disappointed by media coverage of the mayor’s race, and felt the minority of Oaklanders opposed to growth and revitalizing the city were completely dominating the public discussion of Oakland’s future. Under the reactionary handle of OaklandNative, I hoped [...]]]></description>

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>

There is no reason the Oakland PD should undertake such an investigation. Mr. Grant, a resident of Hayward, was arrested because of his involvement in a fight that began [...]]]></description>

Though acknowledging that the city could ill-afford any funding increases, Ms. Quan held no hope that a Kids First 2 ballot measure could be defeated. “I know it will pass, because kids [...]]]></description>

Since then, he has once again turned in a late budget, produced no reports or [...]]]></description>

No, the surprisingly tiny savings from eliminating such direct [...]]]></description>
