To live comfortably in Oakland you need to be making 99k this woman bank 357k in one year and y’all talking about she’s struggling this is how you know people here don’t really know the meaning of poverty.
That's what she gets. We didn't want her. And they were charging thousands of dollars for a recount. And she fired our police chief. She needs to resign. So we can get the mayor we wanted. And get our police chief back.
