Oakland activist accuses progressive mayor Sheng Thao of killing city

An Oakland activist has accused progressive mayor Sheng Thao of killing the Californian city and predicts the last four big corporations still headquartered downtown will leave in months.

Steve Heimoff, president of Coalition for a Better Oakland, lamented that the city had become 'a garbage dump of crime, filth and inhumanity.'

He made the grim prediction following the news that Kaiser, PG&E, Clorox and Blue Shield are plowing $10 million of their own cash into added security measures for their employees.
