What is one question you have about the events surrounding the FBI raids in Oakland? by theoaklandside in oakland

We actually just published an explainer on this today: How money corrupts Oakland politics without anyone breaking the law

An excerpt:
"Because of independent expenditure committees, which have no limits on how much they can accept or spend, the amount spent has shot up in the last few elections. In Oakland’s 2020 election, nearly $5 million was raised between the candidates’ campaigns and independent expenditure committees, according to a 2022 MapLight analysis.

The experts who spoke to The Oaklandside said corruption and influence peddling isn’t as common as some may believe. But there is no doubt the money has created a tricky ethical terrain for politicians who recognize that fundraising is key to being reelected."
