Lunch with Oakland Mayoral Leader, Seneca Scott

Despite levying high taxes, Oakland suffers from high crime, business closures, blight, and uncontrolled homeless encampments. The City has also faced repeated fiscal crises in recent years.

As Seneca will discuss, the explanations for Oakland's problems include public corruption and the dominance of a progressive ideology which sounds noble but does a disservice to most residents.

We'll also learn what lessons Oakland's troubles might hold for neighboring cities, and whether we in Contra Costa County have anything to worry about.

Lunch included - $30 for non-members; $25 for members
