The big expenses are Police, Fire and 911.

Doesn't matter who's funding the recall. I was a small business owner in Oakland.The city is dieing! A history of corrupt leaders, no money because of the loss of major ball teams. Crime is rampant..
@@marylee8771 Who are you referring to? If it is me I am asking a very simple question. Why didn't she address HER city? You can name call all that you want I don't care about that. By the way are you Ms Thao?

@@marylee8771 Because I started this thread and you said that it is individuals like you that she has to deal with. So you are talking about me since you are asking about being nitpicky.

I don’t think people realize that no mayor can fix a completely broken city like Oakland in just a year and a half. The recall effort began immediately as she took office, so that should tell you everything. I’ll give her a full term and see what she can do. Oakland is a messed up city not an easy job.
@@joeblow1688 I would agree with you for the average city or small town, but we’re talking about Oakland, CA. I’ve lived in the Bay Area for the past 40 years, lived right next to Oakland in Berkeley for 4 years and Oakland has always been plagued with rampant crime and corruption. Every Mayor has essentially failed at solving that issue. Not saying it’s impossible, but it’s going to take more than a year and a half to see real results. Sheng says the crime rate is already down but that’s just a cyclical stat. Let’s see what things look like at the end of her term. But she’s fighting an uphill battle if political opponents are stifling all her efforts by trying to remove her from day one.
@teegees I'm going to say it..... when ex Police Chief was rightfully fired... this is when her real troubles (in terms of recall) began. New Police Chief is a huge upgrade and has a track record to support that claim. Ex Police chief called out Federal Monitor and etc, while a cop was involved in a hit and run... in City vehicle, that he didn't manage well.
She said that she did not take the money from Duong's family? 🤔 Not directly would be but perhaps some other ways? Wait until the investigation completely done, ma'am.
Worse mayor in America. Businesses leaving in droves. - chik filet. Walmart. - every horrible politician uses the defending Democracy line. It’s equivalent to the race card.
It’s incompetent and soft on crime mayors like her and mayors prior. The police and police chiefs if allowed to do their jobs instead of the mayor running the police department things would have been better than today.
Sounds convincing. We can't rely on recall to solve every problem now or in the future The city administration needs time to prove itself. it's different from the DA recall.
This sure was an awful long commercial! "There is alot of rumors going around" is the quality of english America wants from it's mayors, governors, and Presidents now, huh??
Jessica, I know you have the right to be angry. But isn’t that journalism 101 that you have to be neutral when it comes to reporting as an anchorperson? Where did you go to school? I wanted to see Thao to have fair treatment. You probably can’t tell how much she has put forth behind the camera to get the city of Oakland to be at a better footing. There are so many obstacles at so many fronts. Please be constructive in your critical comments. I don’t think you understand how hard it is to fight the fight for the city of Oakland when crimes are just so rampant. I hope you spent more time hammering on the big real estate developers and realtors and billionaires and millionaires who are taking all the profits and causing it so hard to live in Oakland and all of SF Bay Area. You, as an anchorperson making millions, of course, you don’t feel the pain. The greed of these “corporate” or millionaire landlords are the ones to blame. Not mayor Thao. You just have no idea, Jessica!
In your questions , how about referencing the failed policies and incompetent leadership by the Mayor. I don't believe her when she says she did nothing wrong.
