Dellums, under pressure, moves to place Edgerly on paid leave from Oakland

For embattled Oakland City Administrator Deborah Edgerly, Mayor Ron Dellums' other shoe finally dropped late Friday.

The mayor placed the 56-year-old Edgerly on paid administrative leave and showed her the door according to Kelly Rayburn's story in the Oakland Tribune.

The decision resolved, at least temporarily, what was a growing crisis of confidence in Dellums' administration, the City Council and the overall city government.
