Carroll Fife has said her solution to Oakland’s budget crisis is to create partnerships with State and county governments. This means that Alameda County and Sacramento would have to bail Oakland out of its current annual budget deficit of $130 million.

An Oakland Love Story
I was flipping through the T.V. stations Saturday morning when I came across America’s Test Kitchen, one of my favorite cooking shows. (Bridget and Julia rock!) They were preparing baklava, the Middle Eastern treat I hadn’t had in decades. (I’ve had plenty of halvah, which is similar but different.)
Happy Memorial Day
I salute the men and women of the armed services who have always protected our freedom and our lives. I’m thinking in particular of my Uncle, Dr. Leonard Lincoln Heimoff, who served in the Pacific under General MacArthur during World War II. He was a medic and his specialty was venereal disease, which was a real problem among the troops. Uncle Lenny returned from active service to set up a general practice in The Bronx. He was our family doctor. I mourn the loss of the personal relationship doctors used to have with their patients before managed care took over.
Thank you Uncle Lenny and to all the vets! God bless and keep you.

Kudos to Ramachandran for advocating “a culture of enforcement”
It’s never popular for an Oakland politician to urge greater law enforcement in our progressive city. Too many voters resent cops, a sentiment they’re steered into by liberal city officials who, one way or another, insinuate that the police are horrible, bad, rogue racists who delight in bashing Black skulls.
