My calling out of RPA members Eli Moore and Claudia Jimenez for being unlicensed and unregistered landlords has generated hundreds of posts on several Facebook strings. Predictably, RPA members and sympathizers are horrified that the mayor would spotlight such nice...

A “public bank” may or may not be a good idea, but throwing away City of Richmond taxpayers’ money at a feasibility study that is already fully funded by Oakland and Berkeley shows the lack of fiscal restraint that is increasingly associated with the Richmond...

Arrive Curious. Leave in Awe. 1940s Swing Dinner Dance with “Stompy Jones” and the "SJ Jitterbugs" on the 1944 “SS Red Oak Victory” Because our May 13 Swing Dinner Dance was so much fun and a big success, the SS Red Oak Victory will again be swinging this Saturday...

To most of us, it’s breaking the law. To Richmond Progressive Alliance stalwarts, it’s just “…looking into whether there are some forms we need to file.” By all accounts, Eli Moore is a savvy and intellectually sophisticated person. He is a program manager for the...

Only Eli Moore and the Hass Institute can find a way to make a lemon out of lemonade, finding a way to anticipate Richmond ferry service with pessimism and cynicism. These are the same people who helped kill the Global Campus because they saw only adverse impacts and...

Every two years since 2007, the City of Richmond has worked with the National Research Center (NRC) to conduct a community survey to help city officials evaluate services, measure resident satisfaction/use of current services, benchmark ratings for services provided...

Like many of you, I slogged through the 10-part, 18-hour Ken Burns documentary of 30 years of war in Vietnam. One thing for sure, of those who experienced Vietnam at any level, it was like feeling the elephant. Ken Burns covered 30 years, from 1945 to 1975. Of that 30...

This is a well written story on the history of post-WWII black exclusion in the Bay Area that provides insight into why North Richmond was never incorporated into the City of Richmond. Other black war workers in North Richmond, not as fortunate as Stevenson, remained...

The Mayor’s Community Fund I established has been serving our dedicated youth and community organizations in Richmond that would otherwise have few options for funding. For the past couple of years, local businesses and individuals have raised tens of thousands of...

I was disappointed that not one of the Richmond Progressive Alliance Council members, supposedly the icons of social justice, were willing to stand up and support merely advancing the process of annexing North Richmond. When the time came for action, the entire City...

Tonight, the Richmond City Council will discuss and possibly vote on whether or not to proceed with annexation procedures for North Richmond. If the vote is to annex, it will set in motion a complicated voting procedure that will give North Richmond residents and...

Here is a shout out to Richmond Confidential, the only journalistic medium that has covered the upcoming decision whether or not to initiate annexation proceedings for North Richmond tomorrow night. This is Item I-5 on the Agenda, and pertinent documentation is...

The Vietnam War, as seen on Ken Burns’ “Vietnam War” is focused mostly on combat of which there was plenty, of course. The sound effects are mostly gunfire and explosions. But for most of the nearly three million service members who served in Vietnam, life was mostly...
