Janani Ramachandran Wrong On Why Oakland Lost In Court To OBOT And Owes $700 Million, Here's Facts. Oakland District Four Councilmember Janani Ramachandran issued a video-blog that should be of concern to anyone who is hoping for signs that the City of Oakland has learned its lesson of the consequences of dishonest dealing. Councilmember Ramachandran bases Janani must understand that Oakland: 1) Was a patner with OBOT in the development of the Oakland Bulk and Oversized Terminal to replace the closed Oakland Army Base by contract with the federal government. 2) Discovered that coal was the best market for OBOT 3) Signed a development agreement that mentioned coal as a commodity along with iron ore and other minerals. 4) Tried to breach the contract after Tom Steyer started to seed California politicians with money to go for clean energy legislation. 5) Lied about OBOT, which was not to be a coal terminal, but a pass-through development using covered rail cars. 6) Tried to stall development of OBOT and even renegged on a deal to have OBOT built without hauling coal. In other words, by that point, Oakland was just being mean to Phil Tagami / OBOT and doing all kinds of dirty tricks. 7) Also held up Insight Terminal Solutions access to the land and thus tortiously interefered with the OBOT / Insight Terminal Solutions contract. All of this, and Janani doesn't get it? Well, now, she should. The City of Oakland was an evil player here and some say some others involved with the City of Oakland should go to jail for their actions. Janani wants an appeal? How about partnering with OBOT / Insight Terminal Solutions and doing economic development for a change? Stay tuned.
