It’s interesting that Sheng Thao hasn’t yet begun to fight back against her recall, the way Pamela Price has. From almost the beginning, Price has fought with the aggressiveness of a honey badger, speaking public forums, defending herself online, and issuing misleading statements to the press. It’s clear that Price is aware of the threat the recall poses to her, and is greatly afraid it will succeed.

I’m stirring this pot again because it needs to be stirred. P. Price has done something very controversial and while the facts are still developing, we need to harden public opinion until it recognizes the truth.

Predictably, Pamela Price is continuing her war on cops by filing charges against three Alameda cops whom her predecessor, Nancy O’Malley, declined to prosecute.

Almost lost in the clamor of recalls and crime is the problem of encampments in Oakland, including single-person sites that can be the dirtiest of all.

Now that the Price recall has been approved by the Registrar of Voters, the people will be able to vote on it. I hope…there’s speculation out there that she’ll come up with some legal technicality to challenge it. But assuming it goes on the ballot in the next few months, what if she wins?
