oakland coliseum falls through. so the new budget comes with plenty of controversy. the city has to account for a $177 million deficit, and to fill that gap, the approved plan relies on completing a $63 million sale of the oakland coliseum. critics have said that deal won't close in time. the mayor says she's confident the deal will get done, and says her budget allows the city to balance the books without cutting critical services. you know, the $63 million from the coliseum sale, we know through negotiations how close we are in regards to the sale. and so for, you know, in order to continue with our services, whether it's public safety or clean streets or economic development, we must move forward in this way where it is fiscally responsible. 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

the sale of the city's portion of the oakland coliseum to close a $177 million budget gap. it's a plan not even city council members agree on. 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. but i do believe overall that this one is somewhat better in terms of public safety and moves us forward. we are not in a position to float a budget and allocate money that we do not have. if the coliseum deal goes through, the city would largely avoid major cuts to public safety. but if the deal falls apart, a series of brutal contingency cuts would kick in. those include reducing the number of sworn police officers to 600, temporarily closing five fire stations and eliminating vacant positions across several city departments. mayor thao says she's confident that won't be necessary. you know, the $63 million from the coliseum sale? we know through negotiations how close w
