My office has audited City Council expense accounts; investigated and documented the City’s failure to bill and collect substantial amounts of grant money owed the City, and developed a plan to reduce lost earnings; identified and collected over $1.9 million in under-reported licensing revenue; and surveyed the practices of more than twenty Police departments across the country to help Berkeley police address current staffing shortages and future budget challenges. I have also partnered with Vista College and City staff to teach accounting classes for City employees. With your support, I will continue working on your behalf to identify and analyze City problems in the effort to improve our City’s performance. To ensure the Auditor’s independence from the City Council, I do not accept endorsements from Mayoral or Council incumbents or candidates.

I will bring new energy to rally the City to support our schools and young people, improve city services, and make Berkeley an environmental leader again. As your State Assemblymember, I passed landmark environmental legislation, dramatically expanding parks and open space. I brought critical funding to Berkeley’s schools. I am a person who gets things done. The incumbent has been on the Council for 20 years. For the past 8 years — although the economy was good -- our schools deteriorated, affordable rental housing diminished, Berkeley fell behind in environmental protection, and relations with the University of California declined. Berkeley deserves better. As Mayor, I will provide the leadership to meet these challenges. I have worked effectively with Berkeley residents, neighboring cities, and state and federal lawmakers. I’ll bring this G:\ELECTIONS\Candidates\MAYOR\BATES\Candidate Statement.doc experience to the issues that affect our city and will insist that the public, at all times, is treated with respect. I am supported by Congresswoman Barbara Lee, County Supervisor Keith Carson, and Berkeley residents from every neighborhood, young and old, renters and homeowners alike. Together we can bring out the best in Berkeley. For more information about my campaign: www.tombates.org or call 486-8736. 10.

  • Citizens for East Shore Parks Remarks by Robert Cheasty
    Citizens for East Shore Parks Remarks by Robert Cheasty, President On the Occasion of the Dedication of the Berkeley Meadow Honoring Sylvia McLaughlin & Dwight Steele Dwight and Sylvia are friends to all of us here today and benefactors to our entire society. Great deeds are not casually done. They require a lifetime of preparation and an heroic level of commitment to making a difference. Many make contributions. That is the way of great and thriving societies. Whole democracies are built around those who contribute. They are the safe harbors that gather the rest of us, that provide the infrastructure for community, that provide the confidence and security for commerce, education, the growth and nuturance of our children and the arts. And I call upon us all to bless these contributors for the interruptions of their lives to give something back to their communities. But then there are those who rise above contribution. There are those for whom who a contribution is just a wake up call, for whom contribution just whets the appetite for seeing what is really possible. There are those who, in borrowed words, ask not why the world is the way it is but why it is not the way it could be. And this then becomes the fulcrum for the changes they seek. These brave souls begin to realize what it means to overcome the 30,000 foot elevations where true societal change is made. For most just survival is all one can muster at that height. For the visionaries who change our society, 30,000 feet is where you get to work.
