Oakland city leaders have announced that a deal to sell the city's stake in the Oakland Coliseum has opened up a budget cushion that avoids serious cuts to city programs - for now.'We're gonna pick up all the little papers, and pieces, and needles or whatever it is,' explained Ken Houston of the Oakland Beautification Council. 'It's called micro cleaning and sanitization right.
'We will continue that hard work and the long overdue cleanup of our city with essential and basic services,' Mayor Sheng Thao said Thursday, Thao says the city will manage its budget deficit without layoffs or public safety cuts, but that will require a hiring freeze and the blockbuster sale of the city's half of the Coliseum site. So painful cuts have been staved off - for now. 'I mean, I'm happy today,' said District 6 Councilmember Kevin Jenkins.
