95 Years for Corruption? Oakland Ex-Mayor Sheng Thao Faces Federal Charges In $3 Mil Bribery Scheme

In this clip from the California Underground podcast, we dive into the shocking corruption case surrounding Oakland's former Mayor Sheng Thao. After being ousted in a recall election, Thao now faces federal charges that could land her 95 years in prison. Allegations include bribery, conspiracy, and payments for a no-show job involving her boyfriend and the powerful Duong family, owners of California Waste Solutions.

Join Phil and Camille as they unpack the details from the indictment, discuss its implications, and explore the accusations of racial bias in the political sphere. Plus, what does this mean for Oakland and its government?

Are you a Californian who feels isolated and alone in your political views in a deep blue state? Feel like you can’t talk about insane taxes, an overbearing government, and radical social experiments without getting a side eye? Then join us on the California Underground Podcast to hear from people just like you.

*The California Underground Podcast is dedicated to discussing California politics from a place of sanity and rationality.*
