| Former Oakland Mayor Jean Quan. |
OAKLAND CITY COUNCIL | In closed session Tuesday, the Oakland City Council voted to pay $15,000 to the driver involved in an automobile collision with former Mayor Jean Quan for injuries and lost wages.
The accident occurred at an intersection in West Oakland in June 2014 and instantly become a major story in Oakland’s contentious mayoral campaign.
Initial reports suggested Quan was seen driving through the intersection while talking on her cell phone. It’s still unclear whether she Quan was using her phone, although, a police report found no evidence. The accident occurred shortly after a local news report showed video of Quan driving while talking on her phone.
Nevertheless, later, Quan was often seen using a driver to ferry her to city engagements and campaign events. (Including this infamous ride in Oakland’s Fruitvale District.)
The payout approved by the City Council includes $15,000 in damages to the driver Lakisha Lovely for injuries to her neck, back and head, in addition, to lost wages, said a representative from the City Attorney’s Office. The council also approved payment of $10,500 to the driver’s insurance company for damage to her car.
Councilmembers Desley Brooks, Larry Reid and Noel Gallo were absent from the closed session vote, said the City Attorney’s Office.

It would have cost Oakland a lot less money in the long run if as soon as Jean Quan was elected mayor it had immediately paid her fifteen million dollars – that is fifteen million dollars, and not only fifteen thousand dollars – to leave town and never come back.
In other words, having Jean Quan in city government was similar to if a restaurant had hired a new and additional employee to work in the kitchen to assist the old time employees already there in food preparation, but that the new employee spent very little time actually preparing food but instead virtually all of her working hours secretly putting poison in the food the other employees had already prepared.

How is Schaff her “protege”? She ran against her?
And where's your evidence she will cause “even more misery”?
Do you have any evidence to back up anything you say?

This is the one of the least significant costs the Jean Quan account has placed upon the citizens of Oakland.
And now we have Quan's protege Schaaf who will cost us ever more and more misery in the future.
