I've seen her signs around Lake Merritt, so I decided to check out her site. She's spot on about the Port of Oakland, if brief.
Here's the rest of her message:
"I want to use the District 2 City Council seat to insure that the needs of Oakland's working families come first. We can make Oakland better by increasing funding and support of locally-controlled schools and youth recreation programs, bringing community policing to every area, expanding home ownership opportunities in the city, and creating living wage jobs for our people. We need a more open government so that every member of the community can be part of key decisions on city contracts and development deals, and can influence how our tax dollars are being spent, including Measure Y public safety and Measure DD park expansion funds."
"Myth – Oakland does not have the resources to fund education, libraries and parks and recreation.
Fact – The Port of Oakland could provide the city with resources to improve city services"
--- She's right about that one.
