.Trib on Dellums’ Troubles

Just as the Chronicle did two weeks back, the Trib‘s Kelly Rayburn writes up a lengthy piece on the growing chorus unhappy with Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums’ performance. As with the Chron, this is one of those times where the paper of record officially declares that Dellums’ somnolence has become a matter of public concern, something like the moment when the principal sends your parents a letter warning about your behavior. In this case, Rayburn’s extensive detail and impartial tone are just right for what she’s trying to accomplish, and the piece comes off as fair-minded, while conveying a sense of disquiet about the mayor’s performance.
