Oakland Councilmember Annie Campbell Washington Pulls Tenant Relocation Ordinance At City Council

Oakland Councilmember Annie Campbell Washington Pulls Tenant Relocation Ordinance At City Council - Video

Oakland Councilmember Annie Campbell Washington Pulls Tenant Relocation Ordinance At City Council In Sneaky Way Oakland District 4 Vice Mayor And Councilmember Annie Campbell Washington just pulled from the Oakland City Council Agenda tonight an ordinance that, if passed, would have made any landlord seeking to remove tenants just to put in a family member or in-law have to pay a relocation cost to that tenant. Moreover, the act was done in a sneaky way: the Oakland City Council item that was the Tenant Relocation Ordinance had originally come from Councilmember Campbell Washington's own committee: the Life Enrichment Committee of which she is chairperson. Annie had time to make changes to it there, and before her own collegues. What she did, instead, was waited until the last minute and then pulled it without telling authors of the ordinance that she asked for changes to it. Well, author: Councilmember At-Large Rebecca Kaplan. The reason for the action was the Oakland Board of Realtors wrote a letter saying that the way the proposed law was written, it lacked a tenancy time period – they suggested three years in the letter to the City Council. Reached a moment ago, Councilmember Kaplan had this to say: “I continue to believe we must act to protect tenants in Oakland from displacement and I will keep working on these issues.” As a note, Annie Campbell Washington is running for reelection in 2018.

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

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
