Candidate Forum tonight
The District 3 City Council candidates and the At-Large City Council candidates will be available for questions tonight from 6:30 to 8:30 PM at the First Christian Church on 111 Fairmount Avenue.
The forum will be moderated by Pastor Sandhya Jha, and will allow introductions from each candidate, general group Q&A, and breakout groups so people have a chance to meet the candidates personally.

- len raphael: Unconfirmed that MJQ laid off 100 employees today, blaming RDA court case. How much did she and the CC waste in legal fees betting against Jerry’s lawyers?
- ralph: No, Livegreen, Occupy Oakland is doing plenty good. They are the poster children for the new, “This is Your Brain on Dope” Campaign.
- Livegreen: They seem to b determined to shut down Oakland and little else. They’ve forgotten Wall St. I can’t help but think the Officers who were preventing them from breaking in to City Hall could have spent...
- gregory mcconnell: The Occupest disrupted City Hall today. They managed to make it difficult, but not impossible, to go into City Hall. They demanded that people who accosted cops on Wednesday should be released. I was out...
- livegreen: I watched the M-Y mtg last night, & it was painful. Jose is a nice guy, but he has difficulty running a meeting that gets anything done. They debated for about 1 hour whether they should discuss recommendations...
- len raphael: The murder of 5 year old Gabriel Martinez. Got a call from an acquaintance who lives in East O and often gets supper at his family’s taco stand. She asked where she can sign up to help on the recall.
- Ravi: I’m sure that all of those Quan diehards (“a recall would be a waste of time and too expensive”) are very gratified that this lovely and deserving woman is having such a good time. No doubt they prefer...

- Ravi: And regarding police reform and the crime thing, Judge Henderson could decide to put OPD under Federal jurisdiction because the terms of the NSA haven’t been fulfilled by the City Administration. Those folks in City...
- len raphael: Harbinger of things to come to the City Council when they eventually have to make similar decisions. But they won’t. The Fed bankruptcy judge will do it for them.
- livegreen: Yeah, but OUSD has to do something. There are way too many schools for the school population. There’s simply no choice. At least they’re willing to make the tough decisions. Unlike the City of...
- len raphael: Are those school board recalls entirely over the school closing decisions? Different groups or one umbrella?
- Ravi: Two recall petitions for Quan; five recall petitions for five school board members.
- len raphael: City says there are now 7 concurrent recall petitions. Not clear how many are for Quan and how many for Council Members. Direct democracy at work.
- Ravi: Can the Oakland City Council lead? Nope, nor can the Mayor. It’s up to the citizens, who are deeply divided and have been for a very long time.
- len raphael: Oakland Local is the only on or offline general circulation media that shows understanding of the depths of our fiscal situation and understands that it’s causes precede the real estate crash. One of these...

Andy –
I am not aware of any more at-large debates, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be any. I will post the information about any forums I learn about on the blog.

O MY GOD!
Thats actually pretty funny. When I clicked on http://www.cplazola.net it actually goes to a sex site! Lets call the FBI
The site I really like is this one:
http://www.delafuenteconspiracy.com/
Thats the site that cost the city over $25,000.00 on a outside auditor to find out if the ADMITTED and CONFESSED rapist son of Ignacio De La Fuente was innocent. Yes, he confessed of raping a 15 year girl!
How stupid does the idiot of Ignacio De La Fuente think voters in District 5 are.

Both Payback’s and RyanC’s posts have absolutely nothing to do with this thread. Nothing. At all.
Please guys, don’t abuse the priviledge of this open forum that V provides all of us with. Let’s keep it relevent, let’s keep in classy.

Look at the grammar in that last post, Chris. Look at the coherence, or lack thereof. I don’t think anybody is really paying attention to these guys at this point. There’s a community on this board that is sane and concerned, and we filter out the noise pretty well. It is frustrating how much screen real estate is getting consumed by this garbage, though.
Here’s something relevant: Check out novometro’s links to Phil Tagami’s interviews with Sean and Nancy. Good content. Sean really is looking like a credible challenger.
