Mayor's Message - February 2019

A special thank you to the restaurants and delis in Oakland who participated in the program to help our residents who are federal employees and were furloughed or working without getting paid. 

When I asked each establishment for their help I received an overwhelming response—whatever they could do to help the affected families they would do. 

Now that the government shutdown has been temporarily stayed, all that is left is to thank everyone for their support and hope that the “stay” is permanent.  

Linda H. Schwager, Mayor of Oakland
