Oakland race: As they round the first turn, Don Perata appears to be several lengths ahead in the race to be Oakland's next mayor.Why not? After Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown and Ron "Red" Dellums, Oakland voters have proven themselves to be incompetent to choose their leaders.
I hope his family is doing well.. considering all the business he used to shake down from gubamint for them..
Good ol’ Don, he can bring his skills at cooking up energy re/deregulation schemes and proposing 5 cent a bullet and a diaper taxes to a city adrift in mayhem.
Oh yeah, he’s in the finest tradition of Oakland. They took in the refugees from SF during the ‘06 disaster and now they take in tired old political hacks .. meanwhile their youth are gunning each other down or getting hit by stray bullets.
He’s perfect. He can tax every damn trigger click. That’ll rake in some dough.
