"content": "\u003cp>An anti-recall movement is gaining steam in Alameda County, where District Attorney Pamela Price and Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao face recall elections in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recalls are two of four in Alameda County that qualified to go before voters this year. Residents recalled two Sunol Glen school board members\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11992811/how-a-controversial-flag-policy-ignited-a-recall-in-the-town-of-sunol\"> in July\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bubbling up of new energy countering the remaining recalls arrives after months of headlines dominated by recall supporters. As the county counts down the days to the election, anti-recall organizers say they plan to defend those who voted for Thao and Price in 2022. They want the candidates to serve full terms in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hold them to the same standard: high crimes and misdemeanors,” East Oakland Pastor Billy Dixon said at an anti-recall event on Saturday, referring to the standard for presidential impeachment. “Neither one committed high crimes and misdemeanors. So until that takes place, I don’t think a recall should take place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last weekend, the campaign to keep Thao in office — Oaklanders Defending Democracy, Oppose the Recall of Mayor Thao — collected its first major donation: a $10,000 check from Quinn Delaney, a Piedmont progressive philanthropist and the founder and board president of Akonadi Foundation, a racial justice organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The renewed push against the recalls comes as the pro-recall campaigns appear to be running out of money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12001118\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12001118\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240821-ANTIRECALL-AF-05-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240821-ANTIRECALL-AF-05-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240821-ANTIRECALL-AF-05-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240821-ANTIRECALL-AF-05-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240821-ANTIRECALL-AF-05-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240821-ANTIRECALL-AF-05-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240821-ANTIRECALL-AF-05-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Recall opponents gathered at Thy Word Ministries in East Oakland on Aug. 17, 2024, for the Launch of the Respect Our Vote — No Recalls Coalition. \u003ccite>(Annelise Finney/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The latest campaign finance filings show the two pro-recall campaigns are in debt. According to filings from April 1 through the end of June, the campaign to recall Price, Save Alameda For Everyone, is more than half a million dollars in debt. Most of the money is owed to PCI Consultants, a Calabasas-based signature-gathering company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of the end of June, the campaign to recall Thao, Oakland United to Recall Sheng Thao, was $21,205 in debt, mostly to Philip Dreyfuss, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11998651/a-hedge-fund-manager-is-funding-bid-to-oust-oaklands-mayor-and-its-not-his-first-recall\">the Piedmont hedge fund manager who has provided nearly 80% of the campaign’s funding\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donations to SAFE during the most recent reporting period were less than $7,000, a notable decrease from the three previous disclosures — $20,000, $240,000 and $160,000, respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An OUST press conference last week announcing that recall leader Brenda Harbin-Forte, a former Superior Court of Alameda County judge, was stepping away to focus on running for Oakland City Attorney, drew only a handful of attendees.

Civil rights attorney Walter Riley and Pamela Drake, an Oakland political activist and Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club member, organized the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coalition, Respect Our Vote — No Recalls, includes the Oakland-based Latino Task Force, Oakland Rising Action and Asian Americans for a Progressive Alameda, among other members.

The registrar will compare that signature with the signature on your ballot to make sure it came from you. If you register on paper, the registrar will ask you to sign a legal document called an affidavit. If you register online, you will have to print a form, sign it and mail it to the registrar’s office.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>After you register, you can check to make sure it was received using the Secretary of State’s \u003ca href=\"https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/\">registration voter status page\u003c/a>.

Loss of the gap breaker at that location meant BART had no way of feeding continuous power to the rail in central Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effects of the fire were immediately visible inside and outside the station. Oakland firefighters responding to a medical call just outside the 12th Street Station reported seeing smoke at 4:59 p.m., and the department sent as many as a dozen units and more than 50 firefighters to the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire Department spokesperson Michael Hunt said the first firefighters arrived on the scene in just over a minute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our biggest priority was evacuating people safely from the trains that were stopped on the tracks,” Hunt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One train, No. 225, was stopped between 12th Street and Lake Merritt stations.

(Trains) 225 and 451, be advised we have BART police and Fire Department personnel in all tracks between 19th Street and Lake Merritt stations. We are waiting for the Fire Department to confirm and BART police to confirm when it’s time to evacuate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is way too much smoke here where I am to evacuate in this tunnel,” the operator of Train 451 responded. “This train’s going to have to move back to 19th Street somehow. I stuck my head out the window just now to gauge, see how much smoke there was, and it’s way too much.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenty minutes later, the operator of Train 451 told the BART controller, “The firefighters want to see if we can move the train back to 19th Street. They want to evacuate, and I’ve got two of them at the window asking us to move the train.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The controller answered that moving the train was impossible because personnel were on the tracks elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART finally allowed the operators to begin evacuating their passengers at 5:48 p.m., 58 minutes after the incident began. It took another 25 minutes before the train operators confirmed that all passengers, including one in a wheelchair, had been safely offboarded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By that time, Oakland Fire spokesperson Hunt said, firefighters had finally located the source of the smoke in a room at the south end of the 12th Street Station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It took upwards of 40 minutes to locate the room where the fire had occurred,” he said. “At that point, the fire was essentially out. We put some water on it, had crews go in with gear on, but the fire had basically extinguished itself by that time.”[aside label=\"Transportation Stories\" tag=\"transportation\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART spokesperson Anna Duckworth said the damaged gap breaker at 12th Street was installed in 1968, four years before BART operated its first paid service. The breaker is one of 47 such devices stationed throughout the 131-mile transit network, funneling electricity from BART’s power supply to sections of third rail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t know if age had something to do with the fire,” Duckworth said. “That’s something we’re looking at.” She added that the damaged breaker was one of 17 that the agency had already been working on replacing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones, the agency’s deputy GM, acknowledged in his July 30 memo that the fire and loss of electrical power had a lasting effect on service. BART was unable to run all five of its lines until three days later, and even then, trains were forced to slow dramatically as they passed through central Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We understand the impacts the current service has on passengers being on-time, making timed connections and their overall customer experience,” Jones wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART said trains continue to run at a slightly slower speed as repair work continues. The agency still has no estimate for when repairs might be complete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire is among several incidents that have caused major delays on parts of the BART system this summer:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>June 23\u003c/b>: A series of train breakdowns and track problems near West Oakland led to four hours of major delays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>June 26: \u003c/b>A rail maintenance vehicle derailed near 19th Street in downtown Oakland, forcing the agency to suspend service on its Red Line (Richmond-SFO/Millbrae) and causing major delays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Aug. 8: \u003c/b>A network computer problem partially disabled BART’s train control system and shut down regular service on the Green Line (Berryessa-Daly City) and Orange Line (Richmond-Berryessa) for more than eight hours.\u003c/p>\n\n",

I stuck my head out the window just now to gauge, see how much smoke there was, and it’s way too much.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenty minutes later, the operator of Train 451 told the BART controller, “The firefighters want to see if we can move the train back to 19th Street. They want to evacuate, and I’ve got two of them at the window asking us to move the train.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The controller answered that moving the train was impossible because personnel were on the tracks elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART finally allowed the operators to begin evacuating their passengers at 5:48 p.m., 58 minutes after the incident began. It took another 25 minutes before the train operators confirmed that all passengers, including one in a wheelchair, had been safely offboarded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By that time, Oakland Fire spokesperson Hunt said, firefighters had finally located the source of the smoke in a room at the south end of the 12th Street Station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It took upwards of 40 minutes to locate the room where the fire had occurred,” he said. “At that point, the fire was essentially out. We put some water on it, had crews go in with gear on, but the fire had basically extinguished itself by that time.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The deal allows Oakland to avoid city employee layoffs as it deals with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11992883/oakland-city-council-passes-budget-amid-concerns-over-pending-coliseum-sale\">a budget shortfall\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’ve done today is we’ve changed Oakland for the better because what we’re doing is we’re investing not in just today, but we are investing in Oakland for tomorrow,” Thao said during a press conference on Tuesday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11987568/oakland-coliseum-sale-expected-to-help-city-avoid-drastic-budget-cuts\">Thao announced\u003c/a> that revenue from the sale to AASEG would be used to close part of the city’s massive budget deficit — $117 million this fiscal year and $175 million next year. The budget passed by the City Council early this month included $63 million in expected one-time revenue from the Coliseum sale to help close the shortfall without laying off workers or making massive cuts, including to public safety departments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thao’s plan to use the funds, which were pending at the time, to subsidize this year’s budget proved controversial during negotiations. Councilmember Janani Ramachandran said that a deal was “nowhere near” being signed at the time, and therefore, a budget utilizing its funds should be a “nonstarter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On July 2, the council voted 5–3 to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11992883/oakland-city-council-passes-budget-amid-concerns-over-pending-coliseum-sale\">pass Thao’s budget\u003c/a>, with a contingency plan should the first funds from the Coliseum sale not be available by the September deadline, which city budget administrator Bradley Johnson said would require pulling the funding “emergency brake.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Payments for the sale of Oakland’s 50% stake in the Coliseum site to AASEG will be made in installments over the next several years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thao said the first payment of $5 million will be available within a week of the deal signing, which is set to happen no later than Aug. 23. A second $10 million payment will be available Sept. 1, and the remaining $90 million will be paid in three more installments before June 2026.[aside postID=news_11987568 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/GettyImages-1491550733-1020x670.jpg']The Oakland Police Officers Association said it was “doubtful the sale of the Oakland Coliseum will solve the mayor’s and city council’s epic mismanagement,” according to a statement from Sgt. Tim Dolan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are deeply concerned for the safety of residents, businesses, and our police officers,” Dolan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Thao said the deal was not a short-term solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a deal that will lead to a multi-billion-dollar investment in East Oakland,” she wrote in a \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/MayorShengThao/status/1818079165150798269\">post on X\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thao said in May that the city would be working with AASEG to create housing, along with an entertainment, retail and sports destination at the site of the Coliseum. A spokesperson for the mayor also said that future property taxes from the Coliseum would be used to help the city address its larger structural deficit and create jobs for residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The owner of the Black-owned firm, which also signed the deal on Monday, said the sale presents a new opportunity to revitalize East Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We see it as an incredible opportunity, but more we see it as a profound responsibility,” Ray Bobbitt, a founder and managing member of AASEG, said during Tuesday’s press conference. “The fact that we are local, we’re here, we were all born and raised here, I’m a direct product of the Oakland public school system — that’s one of the reasons why we believe we were selected. We engage the community at a high level.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AASEG is also in talks to purchase the portion of the Coliseum owned by the A’s, who are still paying off the team’s 2019 purchase of Alameda County’s share of the site, and the two groups remain in “constant communication” negotiating, Bobbitt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal comes as the A’s filed official layoff notices for 415 employees. The team plans to finish the season at the Coliseum before moving to Sacramento for at least the next three seasons. Their long-term plan remains to build a stadium in Las Vegas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The deal allows Oakland to avoid city employee layoffs as it deals with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11992883/oakland-city-council-passes-budget-amid-concerns-over-pending-coliseum-sale\">a budget shortfall\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’ve done today is we’ve changed Oakland for the better because what we’re doing is we’re investing not in just today, but we are investing in Oakland for tomorrow,” Thao said during a press conference on Tuesday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11987568/oakland-coliseum-sale-expected-to-help-city-avoid-drastic-budget-cuts\">Thao announced\u003c/a> that revenue from the sale to AASEG would be used to close part of the city’s massive budget deficit — $117 million this fiscal year and $175 million next year. The budget passed by the City Council early this month included $63 million in expected one-time revenue from the Coliseum sale to help close the shortfall without laying off workers or making massive cuts, including to public safety departments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The team plans to finish the season at the Coliseum before moving to Sacramento for at least the next three seasons.
