  • Former Rep. Barbara Lee hints at potential run for Oakland mayor

    Former Rep. Barbara Lee hints at potential run for Oakland mayor
    Jan 7 2025
    Oakland has its third mayor in three weeks, and a big name politician is poised to try to take the job next. Longtime Representative Barbara Lee, who just left Congress, seems ready to announce that she will run to replace recalled Mayor Sheng Thao. For now, the interim mayor of Oakland is Kevin Jenkins, a young city councilmember and former Peralta College Board trustee, who was unanimously elected temporary mayor by the newly seated Council. That makes veteran councilmember Noal Gallo council president while Jenkins serves as Mayor, until the city can hold a special election in April. Sheng Thao stepped down three weeks ago after she was recalled by voters. Then council president Nikki Fortunato Bas acted as mayor for three weeks before moving to her new seat on the Alameda County Board of Supervisors. Now it’s Jenkins’ turn. A complicated and confusing sequence of events, and it isn’t over yet, because Oakland will get its fourth mayor in the span of four months when someone is elected in April to finish Thao’s term. Who will that person be? It’s looking more likely that it will be Barbara Lee. For more, KCBS Radio news anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart spoke with KCBS Radio political reporter Doug Sovern.

  • Governor Newsom's proposed budget would balance the books

    Governor Newsom's proposed budget would balance the books
    Jan 6 2025
    Governor Newsom gave a sneak peek at his proposed budget for the next fiscal year today, balancing the books despite record spending. His budget blueprint includes a substantial reserve fund, thanks to higher than expected tax revenues from a strong stock market. Governor Newsom projects a balanced budget of about 322 billion dollars, with a cash reserve of about 17 billion dollars. That’s a much brighter picture than last year’s spending plan, which required cuts to erase a deficit of about 56 billion dollars over two years. That two-year spending plan, along with a surge in income tax revenues, means California faces no deficit in the near term. The governor will lay out his full budget plan this Friday, and says it will include a larger investment in education, including full implementation of universal Transitional Kindergarten, expanded afterschool programs and universal free school lunches. For more on this, KCBS Insider Doug Sovern spoke with Bettye Lusk, President of the California School Boards Association. This is the State of California.

He won his first election to Palo Alto's School Board in 1983 and has sat on a governing body throughout the evolution of the socio-economic landscape of the South Bay and how those factors have impacted the politics of the region. For a reflection on his long-standing career and what he sees in store for the Bay Area, KCBS Radio news anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart spoke with now-former Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian.
