    Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao, the apparent subject of a FBI raid this morning, went on a junket last year to Vietnam that was paid for by a group led by Andy Duong of California Waste Solutions, the city’s garbage vendor. Duong’s home was also raided this morning.

    Today, I’m ending my work in journalism. For 10 years, I tried to fill the news gap left open as a result of newspaper consolidation in the East Bay. I literally gave it all for my communities, including my personal finances and the best working years of my life...

    When #Athletics and #Dodgers fans on the BART ramp break out in a #Giants suck chant, it really shows how as Americans we truly can find common ground. #rootedinOakland

    This seems like a more responsible debate than packing the Supreme Court.
