Berkeley (National Labs) gets its own seat on the Cabinet...sort of. (Stanford is taking credit for Steven Chu as well.) I guess this means that the post at Berkeley National Labs will be up as well...are there any unemployed Nobel Laureates out there?
San Francisco Magazine takes a look at Mayor Dellum's tenure. Some folks feel strongly that he hasn't done anything -- some of his more hard-core supporters feel like he is getting a bad rap...either way, is Oakland a better/safer place today to live/work/visit than it was when he took office? Watch Dog readers probably have a view...
Berkeley Police Department finds itself in a funny position. They got a grant to combat drunk driving...and since they got they grant, arrests for drunk driving have gone up. Does this mean that the grant worked or didn't work? Watch Dog can't tell...
How are we going to Watch Dog Sacramento without access to important stuff? Thanks to an East Bay group, MapLight.org, we may be getting closer.
In what may be considered one of the biggest screw ups the Oakland Police Department has ever been a part of...the Oakland Police Department delayed a raid on Your Black Muslim Bakery by 48 hours to accommodate two senior SWAT team commanders' vacations. And, you guessed it, Chauncey Bailey was killed during this delay, presumably/obviously, by folks involved in Your Black Muslim Bakery that would have been raided.
Contra Costa becomes the first County in the Bay Area to vote against joining the lawsuit against Prop. 8. Watch Dog wants to know who is giving political advice to the Board of Supervisors...55% of voters voted NO on Prop. 8 in Contra Costa County...
