California: More updates on Oakland Mayor recall effort

 The Nor Cal Carpenters Union has endorsed the Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao recall over her inclusion of their logo on her material. 

The prime backer of the Thao and Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price recalls, Phillip Dreyfuss, has donated $700K to the Price recall and $890K to the Thao one. 

The County Registrar claims that the Price recall costs about $6 million and would be $20 million as a stand alone special election. It's not clear why an additional vote would be another $6 Million, but there it is. 

There was a clash (though not a physical one) between pro and anti recall forces in Downtown Oakland.

And here's a look at the recall, with the owner of Fentons Creamery (a practical landmark ice cream shop/restaurant) discussing his support for the recall.
