cuT waste
not services
Instead of cutting waste,
the Oakland City Council is
considering cutting programs
that create a thriving city.
Clean and safe streets, key services for children and seniors, programs that help prevent crime and
other vital programs. Already the city has started laying off positions that make Oakland run — from the people who process evidence brought in by police, to the people who remove graffiti and illegal dumping from our streets. Oakland’s families, children and seniors are counting on us to cut waste, fraud and abuse — not the vital services we rely on.
