California: Ignacio De La Fuente

After days and days of uncomfortable silence, Oakland City Council President Ignacio De La Fuente has demanded and will receive a closed-door briefing next week on the Deborah Edgerly crisis at City Hall.

On Tuesday, during a strange press conference where he refused to answer any questions, Mayor Ron Dellums announced that the Edgerly would be allowed to retire from service as Oakland's highest non-elected public official on July 31.
