Mario Juarez For Oakland City Council HQ Vandalized

By


The office of Mario Juarez, the real estate business man running for the Oakland City Council District Five currently held by Council Prsident Ignacio De La Fuente, was vandelized. Someone took a hammer and smashed in each of the six windows and doors of the office Friday night at 10:30 PM.

I talked to Juarez about this; he said he'd not seen anything like it outside of Mexico City. I also asked him if it was connected to the authors of the "Oakland City Crook" blog that takes every bit of bad news about him and presents it in one blog.

I've never seen this happen in an election in Oakland. Sad. Regardless of his past, Juarez should be left alone.

From your post, it sounds like Mario didn't mention this, but it's worth pointing out that Mario Juarez had his windows smashed just like this twice a couple years ago, and in response Ignacio got the City to install a security camera on his office. The Tribune story on this didn't mention the security camera footage - I'd like to know what it showed.

Also, Ignacio had his office windows smashed earlier in the campaign. I think it's really horrible that this happened to Juarez, but I don't think it's appropriate for his supporters to be acting as though Ignacio had anything to do with it, which they have been saying.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

By
Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
