The move to recall Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao took another step forward on Tuesday.
OAKLAND — Organizers of the effort turned in the petition weeks ahead of the July 22 deadline. On Tuesday, the Alameda County Registrar of Voters said there were enough signatures.According to recall organizers, they needed 24,644 valid signatures, but they turned in a petition with more than 40,000 signatures.The lead recall petitioner is retired Alameda County Superior Court Judge Brenda Harbin-Forte.
Oakland police have released crime stats that show crime is trending downward, but recall proponents dispute the numbers. They argue that it doesn't reflect reality because some people are reluctant to report crime. Meanwhile, Thao supporters say the recall is a waste of time and taxpayers' money.
