I'm thinking Jerry Brown is happy not to be mayor anymore. Then again after living out there when Jerry Brown was Governor I'm thinking Oakland is happy he is not mayor anymore. :D:D

After living out there for many years and spending a lot of time in Oakland itself I can honestly say this is nothing new. Oakland has always been a riot.
