Oakley Police Officers Need Our Support – Now
Oakley Police Officers need the Council’s support – now. Item 7.1 on this Tuesday’s agenda (03-28-2023) is a work session to discuss enhancing the number of officers in the Oakley Police Department, contracting with the Brentwood Police Department for dispatch service, and ensuring that the Oakley officers do not become entangled with Mayor Thorpe’s (Antioch)…
An Opportunity to be Heard in Oakley
The discussion of the development of the acreage at the North end occurs at a Town Hall meeting on March 29, 2023, at 7:00 pm. The location is the Recreation Center, 1250 O’Hara Ave, Oakley. Bryan Montgomery, and prior councils working with him, designated the area as a Regional Park. There is no funding for…
Grit is Needed in the Oakley City Council
McDonald’s at Laurel Plaza is on the Oakley City Hall agenda again. O’Hara Properties, operated by Matt Beinke, the developer pushing for a McDonald’s and developing a Quick Quack car wash on the property, is back at the City Council dais. The issue is should McDonald’s be allowed a drive-thru conditional use permit (CUP) to…
McDonalds and Quick Quack Car Wash are Back!
McDonalds and Quick Quack Car Wash are back on the City of Oakley City Council Agenda. Yes, most of the council members (not I) want to discuss whether financing the defense of the lawsuit O’Hara Properties filed against the City regarding McDonald’s and Quick Quack Car Wash can operate on Laurel Plaza (across from Laurel…
“Mary Jane” is on the Train and Trying to Step Off in Oakley
Mr. John A. Continente, Jr., has applied to open a cannabis manufacturing and distribution business in Oakley. The intended location for the cannabis business is 112 Shady Lane.

Is “Mary Jane” Coming to Oakley?
Below is a link to a Los Angeles Times article concerning the dangers of the Cannabis Industry as it operates in California.

Is “Mary Jane” a Potentially Viable Resident for Oakley?
During the last election cycle, I mentioned a FB post of the Rotary Club of Oakley’s visit to CoCo Farms in Antioch. I did not believe it would be advantageous for the cannabis industry to become involved with Oakley, which the City proclaims is a “good place for families.” Below is a copy of a…
Ensuring Social Justice for Oakley PD Officers
I received a request from Allen Payton of the Antioch Herald concerning Mayor Lamar Thorpe’s, of Antioch, marginalizing police officers. Below is my response. Dear Mr. Payton, Before going any further, I need to say that I find the East Contra Costa County NAACP a viable organization that has worked extensively for inclusive communities and…
Oakley City Attorney Derek Cole Should Have Recused Himself, I Believe
Tonight, 01-24-2023, at 6:30 pm, the Oakley City Council will review a zoning ordinance. A review of the ordinance by City Attorney Derek Cole took place. Apparently, he has suggested that the ordinance, as originally presented, should not be approved. I am concerned because City Attorney Cole did not support the City Council not…
