Why do Alameda County Supervisors keep going to the Balkan region of Europe?
EDIT- my deepest apologies for choosing the wrong word to refer to three geographically close but separate countries when trying to keep a title short but can you PLEASE READ WHAT IM SAYING?! We have 3 of 5 Supervisors embroiled in the federal corruption case against the Duong family and former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao. Tam went with the Duongs and 50ish other local officials on the Vietnam blackmail trip. Bass has been flipped as a witness. Haubert’s Chief of Staff was paid $10k by David Duong to bribe a journalist, and now both Haubert and Bass will have visited the same foreign region within months of the trial starting.
Like WTF. Something is going on and if you cant pick up on this pattern you’re not paying attention.
Our local government is fully corrupt and AIPAC Is spending a MILLION DOLLARS A WEEK to get their chosen replacement for Swalwell elected.
The gaslighting in this post is insane. I’m beginning to think this sub is experiencing a coordinated effort to obfuscate these facts.
If you’re a real person that lives here and you don’t feel panic please start paying attention.

A few days ago Supervisor Fortunato Bass sought approval to use our tax money to go to Austria. Strange the trip is just before when she’s scheduled to testify as a witness in the Duong federal corruption case.
Several months ago Supervisor Haubert, whose chief of staff Shawn Wilson is also wrapped up in that case also went to Croatia and Hungary with the Global Artisan Vintner’s Alliance, a group within the Livermore Valley Wine Community that he sits in the board of and has donating nearly a quarter of a million dollars in discretionary funds to over the last several years.
What are they doing over there, and how is the public benefitting in any measurable way?
