Letter to City Council: Let Voters Decide if They Want to Give Billions to a Billionaire
City officials are proposing that Oakland spend almost $1 billion of our state, federal and local tax dollars for a private stadium and real estate development on public land at Howard Terminal.
Editor’s Note: The Oakland Post received the following open letter signed by many local residents:
City officials are proposing that Oakland spend almost $1 billion of our state, federal and local tax dollars for a private stadium and real estate development on public land at Howard Terminal.
Meanwhile, Oakland is struggling with homelessness, keeping schools open, maintaining our roads, improving our Port, adequately paying City employees and more.
Oakland voters should have a say in how our public funds are spent. Councilmembers, please place “Public Financing for the Howard Terminal Real Estate and Stadium project” on the November ballot.
Let Oakland Voters Decide!
