Whether Oakland City Administrator Deborah Edgerly leaves office quietly or fights tooth and nail to keep her job, it's time for a higher authority to take a look at operations inside Oakland City Hall during her term in office.
This wasn't the first time that Edgerly has intervened on behalf of a co-worker, friend or family member, police sources say:
-- Two years ago, Edgerly and Assistant City Administrator Cheryl Thompson showed up and made similar threats when police arrested Thompson's son, also a city employee, for disorderly conduct outside a bar in downtown Oakland. He remains a city employee.
-- Last year, Debra Taylor-Johnson, a civilian police employee, was called into an administrative hearing by Police Department officials for vouching for a recently hired employee. The employee she endorsed was hired under an alias and had arrest warrants issued for identity theft and welfare fraud, authorities confirmed. But when officials recommended Taylor-Johnson's dismissal, Edgerly stepped in, overturned the decision and approved the expenditure to keep her friend employed.

Ya think?
Boy oh boy, is that CHRONICLE on top of things or what?
Yeah right. It will never happen.
Ya know, other than at my bank, I never use ATM machines in Oakland. Not for fear of being mugged, but for fear of having the card “tapped.”

Apparently her daughter is a real sweetheart. On her 4th time trying to make the OPD Academy. Oakland City Hall makes Mugabe look like a tower of virtue and civic pride.

Check out the Oakland Residents for Peaceful Neighborhoods site. A long history of enabling/fostering thugs; ripping off the taxpayers, etc.... What is wrong with these people? I don’t understand.
I checked it out. They are not exaggerating. I worked in downtown Oakland for 11-12 yrs. It wasn't a free fire zone at least in the daytime but you stayed alert and if you worked evenings or nights and didn't carry you were taking a chance.
