She’s used this office improperly. She uses it to intimidate. Of course, she takes any chance to criticize me erroneously for things that I didn’t do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The endorsement comes as little surprise from one of Price’s longtime political opponents. Price mounted an unsuccessful campaign to unseat O’Malley in 2018, and in 2022, after O’Malley announced her retirement, Price beat out O’Malley’s deputy, Terry Wiley, with 53% of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the campaign trail and in the nearly two years since her election, Price has hammered on O’Malley’s leadership of the district attorney’s office, accusing her of creating a “culture of fear” among employees, sweeping prosecutorial misconduct under the rug and chronically understaffing critical units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were backlogs all over that office. The office was in disarray,” Price said at an Oct. 10 event for her campaign against the recall effort. “The people who were in charge of that office did not care about public safety.

During a finance and management committee meeting on Tuesday, the city attorney’s office said that since those parameters have been met, the contingency budget is going into effect, but it’s still uncertain when those cuts would go into place or whether some could be avoided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The contingency budget that was referenced in the council’s midcycle budget resolution is in place, and there has not been any other legislation that has superseded that,” a representative for the city attorney’s office said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the contingency measures is a travel and hiring freeze for non-public safety positions, which the city began to put in place in March ahead of the budget deadline, according to Mayor Sheng Thao’s office. Jobs are still being posted, though — five were put up by the city this week, and there are currently 31 listings on the city’s site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The contingency plan also calls for brownouts, or rotating shutdowns, of five fire stations and cutting the number of sworn police officers from over 700 to 610 through attrition, but Thao told KQED that the council would decide whether to make those cuts after receiving the city’s first-quarter fiscal report in mid-November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11957278\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11957278\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/230802-OAKLAND-CITY-HALL-MHN-05-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"Oakland's City Hall is seen in between other tall buildings.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/230802-OAKLAND-CITY-HALL-MHN-05-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/230802-OAKLAND-CITY-HALL-MHN-05-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/230802-OAKLAND-CITY-HALL-MHN-05-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/230802-OAKLAND-CITY-HALL-MHN-05-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/230802-OAKLAND-CITY-HALL-MHN-05-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/230802-OAKLAND-CITY-HALL-MHN-05-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oakland City Hall in downtown Oakland on Aug. 2, 2023. \u003ccite>(Martin do Nascimento/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“That’s an opportunity for the City Council to actually make changes and make those decisions that they want to, which is browning out fire stations and lowering the number of officers,” she said on \u003cem>Forum.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thao spokesperson Casey Pratt said that once the council gets the first-quarter fiscal report, it “can choose to responsibly recalibrate based on the full financial picture” with “a lot more clarity on the Coliseum deal funds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the original $105 million Coliseum sale agreement with the African American Sports and Entertainment Group — the developers buying the property — Oakland received a $5 million payment upon signing and was scheduled for payments in September, November and January, totaling $58 million. The remaining $42 million was due by closing in June 2026.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12009486 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/OaklandColiseumEmptyGetty-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s new agreement maintains that initial $5 million but shifts other payments later — and bumps up the total price to $110 million. A $10 million payment due in November is in escrow, and a remaining lump sum of $95 million is due in May 2025. The money will stay in escrow until the deal closes, but after Nov. 9, the city will keep it even if AASEG pulls out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That agreement accelerates the closing date so that all of the funds would be received by the end of the current fiscal year, but it doesn’t change the budget resolution that the council passed in July, which said that if any of the original payment dates are missed, the contingency budget is triggered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Tuesday’s meeting, budget administrator Brad Johnson said discussions about cuts under the contingency budget will take place in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some major cuts will likely have to be made. Johnson said the city overspent in the final quarter of last fiscal year and is on track to overspend again this quarter. Council members will need to consider what Oakland can and cannot “live without” before that November discussion, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We ran a real operating deficit last year. We really did go into our reserves by $80 million, and that in the long run is unsustainable,” Johnson said. “We’re already overspending in the current year. We’ve met the criteria for triggering what needed to be another $63 million in reductions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Council members at Tuesday’s hearing questioned how they could prevent potential deep cuts to public safety services — especially after \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12010151/oakland-fire-spreads-to-nearby-homes-amid-dry-windy-conditions\">the Keller Fire in the Oakland Hills\u003c/a> over the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire Chief Damon Covington warned that with brownouts, the department’s quick response to protect homes wouldn’t have been possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We came within 200 yards of Campus Drive,” Covington said. “Very little math will tell you that we would have probably lost those homes on Campus Drive at a minimum.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

A rejection of the effort, however, would be a powerful signal that voters are doubling down on Price’s vision for progressive reform, one that a majority embraced in 2022 when they elected her to serve a 6-year term – becoming Alameda County’s first Black district attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"2024 Bay Area Voter Guide\" link1='https://www.kqed.org/voterguide/bayarea,Learn about every single race and measure across the nine Bay Area counties' hero=https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/80/2024/02/Aside-Bay-Area-Voter-Guide-2024-Primary-Election-1200x1200-1.png]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To better understand the money behind the push both for and against the Price recall, we culled \u003ca href=\"https://www.netfile.com/agency/coa/\">campaign finance reports\u003c/a> filed with the Alameda County Registrar of Voters.

These numbers do not include independent expenditures.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Who is the money coming from?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The campaign to recall Price, called Save Alameda for Everyone, or SAFE, filed its official paperwork with the county in July 2023. The campaign is publicly headed by two county residents: Brenda Grisham, a victim advocate and small business owner, and Carl Chan, a realtor and the board chair of Oakland Chinatown’s Asian Health Services. They’ve lately been joined on the campaign trail by SAFE campaign manager Chris Moore, a realtor and former county supervisor candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Behind them, there is a network of campaign consultants and deep-pocketed donors who run a coordinated secondary fundraising committee called Supporters of Recall Pamela Price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“SAFE works in close collaboration with the Supporters of Recall Pamela Price,” Moore said at a press conference earlier this month. “Typically, the larger check donations go to [Supporters of Recall Pamela Price], and those checks go right into the larger expenditures of the campaign.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Fair Political Practices Commission \u003ca href=\"https://www.fppc.ca.gov/enforcement/EnfDivCaseResults/stipulated-agreements/2024-sdo/august-sdo/supporters-of-recall-pamela-price.html\">fined Supporters of Recall Pamela Price $3,700\u003c/a> in August for failing to meet campaign finance filing deadlines, among other violations of state campaign finance rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the summer, a third fundraising group, Revitalize East Bay Committee, was started by Oakland resident Isaac Abid. Initially, the committee gave exclusively to Supporters of Recall Pamela Price. This month, the committee also donated to efforts supporting Oakland City Council candidates Warren Logan and Leronne Armstrong — the city’s former police chief — and paid for advertisements supporting John Bauters, an Emeryville council member running for a seat on the county Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the county registrar’s website has fillings showing where a portion of Revitalize East Bay’s funding is coming from, some records are missing and a significant portion of its funding remains unaccounted for. The committee did not respond to requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abid is the founder of Lakeside Group, a real estate investment and management firm with more than a dozen properties in Alameda County. He works closely with Oakland’s Uptown Downtown Community Benefits Districts and is on the board of the Oakland School for the Arts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Together, SAFE and Supporters of Recall Pamela Price have raised more than $2.6 million from more than 875 individuals, companies and fundraising committees as of Oct. 15.

A rejection of the effort, however, would be a powerful signal that voters are doubling down on Price’s vision for progressive reform, one that a majority embraced in 2022 when they elected her to serve a 6-year term – becoming Alameda County’s first Black district attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The campaign is publicly headed by two county residents: Brenda Grisham, a victim advocate and small business owner, and Carl Chan, a realtor and the board chair of Oakland Chinatown’s Asian Health Services. They’ve lately been joined on the campaign trail by SAFE campaign manager Chris Moore, a realtor and former county supervisor candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Behind them, there is a network of campaign consultants and deep-pocketed donors who run a coordinated secondary fundraising committee called Supporters of Recall Pamela Price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“SAFE works in close collaboration with the Supporters of Recall Pamela Price,” Moore said at a press conference earlier this month. “Typically, the larger check donations go to [Supporters of Recall Pamela Price], and those checks go right into the larger expenditures of the campaign.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Fair Political Practices Commission \u003ca href=\"https://www.fppc.ca.gov/enforcement/EnfDivCaseResults/stipulated-agreements/2024-sdo/august-sdo/supporters-of-recall-pamela-price.html\">fined Supporters of Recall Pamela Price $3,700\u003c/a> in August for failing to meet campaign finance filing deadlines, among other violations of state campaign finance rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the summer, a third fundraising group, Revitalize East Bay Committee, was started by Oakland resident Isaac Abid. Initially, the committee gave exclusively to Supporters of Recall Pamela Price. This month, the committee also donated to efforts supporting Oakland City Council candidates Warren Logan and Leronne Armstrong — the city’s former police chief — and paid for advertisements supporting John Bauters, an Emeryville council member running for a seat on the county Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It also arrives the same day that a poll by the \u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em> shows Lurie in a tight race with Breed, each with 27% of first-choice votes, and Peskin in third place with 21% of voters’ first picks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These numbers don’t surprise me because they reflect the interactions I’ve been having on the street, in every neighborhood in the city. People are warm and engaged, and really you can feel the excitement growing — it’s like people are waking up to the fact that this election will have real consequences,” Peskin said in a statement. “And they want to be a part of positive change that doesn’t tear the city down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The polls tell a different story from earlier polling that had Breed leading in first-choice votes. And it comes amid an increasingly tense — and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12003004/michael-bloomberg-gives-1-million-to-back-mayor-london-breeds-reelection\">expensive\u003c/a> — race. This week, venture capitalist Ron Conway donated $100,000 to a political action committee called Residents Opposing Aaron Peskin for Mayor 2024. The Association of Realtors gave $50,000 to the same PAC to defeat Peskin, who is advocating for increased rent control across the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Lurie, who is an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune, has given millions to his own campaign, eclipsing all of his opponents so far in total dollars raised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Daniel’s favorability rating has continued to rise above that of his opponents, while [Mark] Farrell’s has now dropped below Mayor Breed’s. It can’t be emphasized enough how important Daniel’s broad base of favorability is heading into the final two weeks as his opponents desperately launch a barrage of over-the-top attacks,” Tyler Law, campaign consultant for Lurie, said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Public Policy poll, which had a 4% margin of error, did not tabulate which candidate would ultimately come out on top. The \u003cem>Chronicle\u003c/em>’s poll, however, shows Lurie pulling ahead after the ranked-choice calculation, leading Breed 56% to 44% in the final round of vote counting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12005588\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12005588\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240919-SF-MAYORAL-DEBATE-BL-09-KQED_POOL-KQED_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240919-SF-MAYORAL-DEBATE-BL-09-KQED_POOL-KQED_.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240919-SF-MAYORAL-DEBATE-BL-09-KQED_POOL-KQED_-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240919-SF-MAYORAL-DEBATE-BL-09-KQED_POOL-KQED_-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240919-SF-MAYORAL-DEBATE-BL-09-KQED_POOL-KQED_-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240919-SF-MAYORAL-DEBATE-BL-09-KQED_POOL-KQED_-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240919-SF-MAYORAL-DEBATE-BL-09-KQED_POOL-KQED_-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Francisco mayoral candidate Daniel Lurie speaks during a debate at KQED in San Francisco on Sept. 19, 2024. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A third poll released on Monday, from the moderate political organizing group Together SF Action and LDI Research, is more consistent with earlier polling showing Breed in the lead with 25% of first-place votes — down one point from the group’s earlier October poll.

It also arrives the same day that a poll by the \u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em> shows Lurie in a tight race with Breed, each with 27% of first-choice votes, and Peskin in third place with 21% of voters’ first picks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These numbers don’t surprise me because they reflect the interactions I’ve been having on the street, in every neighborhood in the city. People are warm and engaged, and really you can feel the excitement growing — it’s like people are waking up to the fact that this election will have real consequences,” Peskin said in a statement. “And they want to be a part of positive change that doesn’t tear the city down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The polls tell a different story from earlier polling that had Breed leading in first-choice votes. And it comes amid an increasingly tense — and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12003004/michael-bloomberg-gives-1-million-to-back-mayor-london-breeds-reelection\">expensive\u003c/a> — race. This week, venture capitalist Ron Conway donated $100,000 to a political action committee called Residents Opposing Aaron Peskin for Mayor 2024. The Association of Realtors gave $50,000 to the same PAC to defeat Peskin, who is advocating for increased rent control across the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
