    I support the best care for Oakland's Children. I do not feel the Unity Council due to financial issues that have been presented in their financial statements show they are inable to support all the children we want to make them responsible for. Maybe keep Freedom open, give more to St Vincent's. More to Laney & Merritt Colleges. For reasons shown, I would like to bring into question those who rate the Non Profits for the City of OAKLAND. In these ratings the City provides, claims this is the best we have, Number 1.
