You will never know the true financial situation in Oakland with a former Oakland city manager as "consultant". The Mayor will fix the problems of Oakland by consulting with a past Oakland city manager? How about this crazy idea, hire people who have NEVER worked with the city of Oakland . Hire a person who owes no favors in City Hall.

Robert Bobb might actually get something done, which would qualify as the first thing the mayor's office has done in three years, other than spend money.

They'll probably institute a hiring freeze at the police dept., just like they did about 5 years ago.  Then when people retire, quit, get fired, they will be down another 100 cops.  City Hall will then cry and yell about how could such a thing happen?  Crime is up!  So are murders! Rinse and repeat, the beat goes on.  At least as long as you have the same people permanently entranched in the council.

Spending more money on a consultant to do the work that the elected officials are already being paid to do. An enormous admission of Oakland's government's incompetence, ineffectiveness and criminal wrongdoing. Contact the FBI at www.fbi.gov and ask them for a complete & independent federal criminal probe of all members of City Council, the City Attorney and the Mayor. They have been involved in gross criminal negligence and incompetence.

In last year's budget session Quan said the council shouldn't spend the extra millions Edgerly was doling out and should save them for a rainy day. It's been known that long that transfer taxes would be lower? So WHY did Council go ahead and spend the monies? Also, if anyone understands economics, it should be Dellums. He more than anyone was aware of the downturn. But he was obsessed with his own speechmaking and self-importance--to the detriment of residents throughout the city. A model city needs a MODEL MAYOR. Please start the cuts in your own office Ron.
