Newsom keeps California Highway Patrol in Oakland as city remains mired in governing crisis
With the city of Oakland in limbo, awaiting special elections to replace two politicians recalled from office, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced he will keep California Highway Patrol officers on city streets as he continues to pressure local officials to drop a policy that limits police chases. The move comes as a batch of new anti-theft laws will go into effect in the new year and as local prosecutors begin charging repeat theft and drug offenders under Proposition 36, the tough-on-crime measure voters approved in November.
His decision to expand the CHP's presence also comes amid a flurry of headlines about high crime rates, and after a contentious election in which voters recalled Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao and Alameda County Dist. Atty. Pamela Price, reflecting widespread dissatisfactio n with the way officials are handling public safety issues.

WTH you talking about? Both Sheng and Pamela were elected as Mayor in 2022, begin serving in 2023 and was recalled in 2024. Pamela was elected in 2022 and recalled in 2024. It's the leadership in CA, including Mayors, DAs, Governor, state congress, etc etc that failed... Well, I shouldn't blame these leaders because it's the people that put these 'leaders' to the position that they're at. The blame is 50% of the voters and 50% of the elected officials.
