Top Aide to Oakland Mayor Resigns over Occupy Raid: Mayors, Police Are  
Doing Wall Street’s Business

The raid in New York City came one day after police officers cleared  
the Occupy Oakland encampment in California and arrested 32 people.  
Two prominent members of Oakland Mayor Jean Quan’s team have resigned  
over the past day. Hours before Monday’s raid, legal adviser to the  
mayor’s office, Dan Siegel, resigned to protest the city’s crackdown  
on the Occupy movement. Last night, Deputy Oakland Mayor Sharon Cornu  
also stepped down. "I’m horrified as to what happened in Oakland  
yesterday and in New York today," Siegel tells us during our live  
broadcast. "The people who are working for these mayors and police and  
so on are doing Wall Street’s business for them, and we need to stand  
up against it."
