In a 6-2 vote, the Oakland City Council voted to give the mayor a pay raise in an amount endorsed by Sheng Thao herself.
“But not at six months, as you don't have a chief of police, you don't have a fire chief, crime is up high," Adams said."I mean, you can't even go down to Jack London Square without someone breaking into your car."
She went on to say that if the council approved a salary greater than what is legally mandated, she would've reject it and refunded any amount above the charter-required minimum salary."One of my goals coming into office was to ensure that Oakland city government lives up to the expectations of our residents, adhering strictly to all charter mandates, ensuring ethical decision making, and using an equity lens when making policy decisions.
"I want the public to know that if the Council elects to move forward with approving a salary for the Mayor that is greater than that legally mandated, I will reject it and refund any amount that exceeds the Charter required minimum to the city to deliver services to our neighborhoods.
