In the latest public disagreement between Oakland’s top two leaders, the City Council president accused Mayor Libby Schaaf on Saturday of “impeding the vital work” for failing to submit a proposed city budget by the May 1 deadline.
“I’m very concerned that the Mayor failed to meet her responsibility,” council president Nikki Fortunato Bas said in a prepared release she shared as part of a thread on Twitter Saturday morning.
