the same thing with the coliseum. for decades, politicians have come, come and gone and nothing has gotten done. and so we all know that. let's speak facts for a minute. we all know that the oakland a's deal was already done and out the door before i even got into office. that's number one. and then number two, we have an opportunity to now work with asg, the african american sports entertainment group, to actually get something developed there so that we can create new streams of funding, because just like many people, especially our homeowners in the city of oakland, we are sick and tired of having to pay high taxes. right? and so if we can figure out how to generate new revenues for the city, which the coliseum is going to be able to do, that, then we should definitely do that. and so the movement, it's not about what you talk about, it's about your actions. and so judge me on my actions and the actions has been that we have been paying attention to west oakland, to east oakland. and we're going to be cleaning up o

we did reach out to the a's about this coliseum deal. they have yet to respond. we will keep you posted. let's move on now. a beloved bookstore in oakland was gutted by flames today. this is the place that often hosted authors. the building is likely a total loss, also a loss in many ways for the community. nbc's jodi hernandez is there at east bay booksellers. this was the scene early this morning, as a three alarm fire quickly consumed a building on college avenue, destroying a popular rockridge bookstore. you could see the flames from three and four blocks away. customers say east bay booksellers was a hub for the community, known for its unique book collection and warm atmosphere. they're crushed. i am so saddened. this was the heart of the community, a wonderful, independent bookstore. they had just started to have readings again with authors. it was busy from the moment it opened until the evening. there's a lot of work. a lot of craftsmen put work into this building. john wilson and his uncle owned the building. they say the structure itself was like a pie

so coliseum funds in my very firm opinion, should have never been incorporated into the budget proposal. and it is unequivocally the fault of this mayor and city administration to have proposed this at the last minute and change the timeline for the entire process. hamstringing our ability to actually make our voices heard. now, if the coliseum deal fails, a series of contingency cuts would kick in, and those include reducing the number of sworn police officers to 600 and freezing positions in the city. cease fire violence prevention team. five fire stations would also face so-called brownouts, and vacant positions would be eliminated across several city departments. the city's police and fire unions have both said that those cuts would be devastating. well, now to a new crime concern popping up in the south bay, delivery drivers are now worried about being targeted. it's become such a problem. one company is even hiring armed guards to be with the driver. let's go to bring in our damian trujillo live in san jose. damian, i know you got to speak with the driver. also a 7-eleven clerk. h
