BOULDER — Kenan Thompson? Genius.Punchlines? Explosive.Accuracy?

It just comes (off) like that. That’s just what draws people in. But that’s not him.“Yeah, it was funny, though. But they were good.

‘The buck stops with me’: Oakland mayor acknowledges struggles, crime problem in State of the City address

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:50:48 GMT

OAKLAND — Looking back at a calendar year that so far has presented a new challenge at every turn, Mayor Sheng Thao on Tuesday focused on the issue that seems to define the city’s struggles in the public eye: crime.“I can honestly tell you that it is the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning, and it’s the only thing on my mind when I fall asleep at night — the safety of the constituency here in the city of Oakland,” the mayor said.It was Thao’s first “State of the City” address, with the annual event arriving on the heels of a powder-keg level of tension around public safety.The city has seen a slew of other hot-button issues, including a crippling ransomware attack and a historically large budget deficit, plus the mayor’s firing of the ex-police chief over an internal scandal and her increasingly rancorous falling out with the likely departing Oakland A’s.However, Thao praised the strength and resil...

Signing up for it can be complicated and scammers know that as well,” Rheingold said.According to the Natio...
