Nice article on Oaklandside about scandals and crises various mayors of #Oakland have faced over the last 100 years

But I feel they really needed to set the tone, by noting that Oakland's *first* mayor, Horace Carpentier, was elected by more votes than there were voters at the time... (outside the 100 year window, to be fair, but definitely sets the tone)
