Oakland is at a pivotal moment as city leaders work to address a significant budget shortfall of $129 million this year, with an additional $280 million projected over the next two years. Oakland's leadership shuffle further complicates its challenges. While some deeply rooted structural issues underlie the city's fiscal distress, Oakland is known for its creativity and resilience, and it has navigated bigger challenges before. Join us to learn about the City's budget process and hear from City leaders who are stabilizing the City during this time of transition. Explore how we got here and what it would take for Oakland to address its long standing structural deficit and move in the direction of fiscal sustainability.
