Sitting Down with Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao

The day after the Nevada Legislative Session closed, I sat down with Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao in her office.

Stay up to date with the Baseball Stadium Saga on Twitter!

This is tremendous. Thank you, Casey. Thank you, Madam Mayor, for taking the time to tell your side and help set the record straight.

It just really seems like fisher wanted out, didn’t care about Oakland ever! Thank you Mayor Sheng Thao for fighting to keep the A’s here! Thank you Casey for covering so well!

Thank you for your coverage Casey!! Go Oakland!

Thank you Mayor Thao for the time, thank you Casey again for the out of this world effort coverage. This was great! Glad to hear that eve thought it may seem like there is not much happening in Oakland front right now there sure is work being put in by the mayor. She’s a fighter!

Casey, this is the best video on your channel. This is an excellent interview with great questions and great responses. I learned a ton of new information, and I thought I knew a lot about this saga.

Any way to forward this to the commissioner's office? I think Manfred needs to watch this. What a great interview!!!

If only she actually cared. Rampant crime, lack of leo’s to handle the 911 system and still refusing to answer. She’s there for a $$$.

I've got all sorts of Oakland A's t shirts, a cap, a jacket, that I haven't been able to look at in two months. Hopefully I can start wearing these again once its certain the A's are staying.

Thank you Casey and Major Tao for all you’ve done to keep our A’s in Oakland!
Let’s take a page from Nevada as a can do organization and let’s get this deal done. They were smart to balk at the rush job foisted onto them. They deserve an expansion team for sure.

The Howard Terminal site is beautiful and is good for the East Bay and MLB. I grew up in Berkeley and Oakland, have been a faithful A’s fan since the age of 9 in the 1971. Love ❤❤❤ the A’s like my family.

Brave move, on behalf of the Mayor. Nevada State Government is not buying what Fisher is selling.

June 13th!! vs Tampa Bay It's Gonna Be Wild!!!
Let's Go Oakland!!! 😎💚💚😎

As someone who hasn’t watched baseball all year and doesn’t even live in California, this saga has been crazy to follow

[UpUpDnDnLtRtLtRtBAStart]

Casey this is an awesome interview. The mayor has a lot up against her. I believe she genuinely wants to make change

[Kensf]

Great interview, and face to face and not a Zoom interview, not a fan of those. But the stadium 🏟 bill is being discussed later this morning by the state Legislature.

[gregcollins]

This is awesome at the timing is perfect Casey. Thank you for all of your amazing coverage of this whole mess. #FisherOut

[joemancini]

As an A’s fan and former resident of Oakland, thanks for a great interview! Mayor Thao is awesome! I still have hope.

[TeganCantEven]

What an incredible leader she is. The people of Oakland are lucky to have her. Fisher is such a terrible owner. The fans deserve better. 💔

[SportsGeographyWithPhill]

Congrats on the interview Casey! Great work!

The face of why you're losing your Baseball team..

[jeffrapier]

Did she say that they could break ground in two years? How is that fast tracking if the deal was so near completion like she had just said before that? Is it just a matter of finding the right palms to grease?
