At a Wednesday press conference in Chinatown to discuss a series of disturbing robberies and assaults targeting Asian seniors and neighborhood shops, Mayor Libby Schaaf criticized City Council President Nikki Fortunato Bas’s approach to public safety. With Bas standing behind her at the gathering, Schaaf said that a budget proposal drafted by Bas last summer—a plan that was voted down—would have cut police services and made crime in Chinatown even worse.Bas, whose district includes Chinatown, responded to Schaaf in a Facebook livestream filmed with District 3 Councilmember Carroll Fife last night. Bas said she felt “attacked” by the mayor and added that what Schaaf said about her budget plan was “just not true.” Bas noted that recent cuts to OPD, which removed police officers from some parts of the city, including Chinatown and downtown, were made by Schaaf and City Administrator Ed Reiskin in December—not by her and the rest of the council.Join your host Sean Reynolds, owner of Summit Properties NW and Reynolds & Kline Appraisal as he takes a look at this developing topic.Support the show (https://buymeacoff.ee/seattlepodcast)

A Dangerous Virus Plagues California Ever since Mayor Libby Schaaf decided to get the City of Oakland involved in what would otherwise be a civil matter disputed in the courts, things have progressively gotten worse. Now, a dangerous virus is spreading like wildfire in Oakland, San Francisco, and the Bay Area in general. It is far worse than Corona Virus... it spreads quickly, and is difficult to contain. Hopefully, the contagion will not spread to Tucson! Hear YESTERDAY'S podcast where I SAID this would happen! See the article direct at the Mercury News.

A Berkeley councilmember was pulled over for running a light and suggested for the police officer to let him off scot-free, telling her he had just voted for a big raise for her union. It's the kind of thing that bolsters the sentiment of people who despise government and public officials. In The Breakdown, I take a look at the first debate of the Oakland mayoral campaign season with a focus on the difficulty Mayor Libby Schaaf faces in rebutting her challengers' argument that she has not done enough to keep the city's homelessness problem from exploding into a full-blown crisis.

After years of prolific and effective work combating police violence in Oakland, Cat is challenging incumbent Mayor Libby Schaaf this fall. Cat discusses the work of APTP, which takes a proactive approach to addressing police killings and corruption by holding public officials accountable, providing political education to the community, and supporting the victims of police terror. We hear how the organization is broadening its scope to address a myriad of needs of marginalized Oakland residents. Cat also describes how their approach has expanded statewide through the Justice Teams Network and is inspiring groups across the country and beyond. We hear how Oakland Mayor Schaaf's prioritization of white gentrifiers over people of color, poor people, and houseless people has emboldened individuals like #bbqbecky, #joggerjoe, and #permitpatty, in the same way Trump has emboldened his followers in the national context. We also discuss behind-the-scenes collaboration of Oakland Police with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids, even while Libby Schaaf publicly claims support for Sanctuary policies. Kumars asks Cat whether her campaign's policy proposals go far enough, and how she will respond when she's mayor and an energized APTP is protesting outside her door. Follow Cat on Twitter @CatsCommentary, and find out more about getting involved in the campaign here. A transcript for this episode will be provided upon request.
