Having myself worked in and outside of government, I know how hard it is to balance all of the various interests, respect protocol, AND get things done. LaTonda is able to do that brilliantly despite the incredible challenging environment of Oakland City Hall. LaTonda has stepped up to do work that no one else could do successfully, and she has thrived. She is smart, effective, fair, honest, reasonable, efficient, effective, and community-minded - a rare combination of traits that one would really want in any and every public official. I would consider hiring LaTonda in a second if she were ever to move on from the City of Oakland, where she has been so dedicated despite many ups and downs and multiple changes in City leadership. With all of those observations and from Oaklanders who have been involved with the City of Oakland for a long time, one has to ask what is going on?
