What a mess. The staff at city of Oakland Mayor Jean Quan's office are fleeing faster than she can sign a contract for additional police to handle an eviction.

As reported here Monday, legal adviser Dan Siegel resigned following the raid of Occupy Oakland, along with
Oakland Deputy Mayor Sharon Cornu following shortly after. Three other officials and staffers have resigned in recent months: Quan's crisis communications manager, the city attorney, and the police chief. Other officials have expressed interest in quitting, so more positions might be opening up in the near future.

Will Quan fill those positions before she's voted out of office?
