If Las Vegas Raiders Aren't Oakland Raiders, Oakland Coliseum JPA Still Doesn't Know - Video

If Las Vegas Raiders Aren't Oakland Raiders, Oakland Coliseum JPA Still Doesn't Know . The Oakland Raiders gave a large and rather disasterous press conference today. The original annoucement was that the Raiders had a "big announcement". But when the day of the original time for the presser came, the time was moved back from 11:30 am to 2:30 PM - then, when 2:30 PM came, the event didn't start until 35 minutes later. The original news was that MGM CEO Jim Murren and Madalay Bay President Chuck Bowling were to be featured, but they weren't there. So, the implication that a big, a really large annoucement, was to happen, did not. The Las Vegas Raiders officially arrived - but they didn't even tell the Oakland Coliseum JPA they were not activating their 2020 lease extension. I put in calls to check today, and the word was the same as last week: the Raiders haven't told them anything. Normally, if an NFL team's going to leave a stadium, don't you think the people who run the stadium they have a lease option with should know? Of course, they should know. Stay tuned.

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
