href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11991794/oakland-mayors-press-chief-resigns-after-fbi-raids-as-turmoil-mounts\">turbulent week at Oakland City Hall\u003c/a>, council members expressed frustration ahead of a special budget hearing on Friday in the face of a massive deficit, a fast-approaching deadline to pass a balanced budget and questions over a windfall the city was counting on from the pending sale of the Oakland Coliseum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facing a July 1 deadline, the City Council is being asked to adopt one of two budget proposals. The proposal introduced by Mayor Sheng Thao’s office includes $63 million in one-time funds that could \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11987568/oakland-coliseum-sale-expected-to-help-city-avoid-drastic-budget-cuts\">come from the Coliseum sale\u003c/a> and a contingency plan in the event those funds aren’t available by September. A second proposal, requested by some council members, cuts those funds from the outset.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahead of the meeting on Friday, Councilmember Janani Ramachandran said the budget that counts on proceeds from the Coliseum sale is a “nonstarter” because the city is “nowhere near having a deal signed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The other budget that’s presented as an alternative is really the only option that we have to work with,” she told KQED. “To be presented with a drastically new budget three days before the day we have to vote is outrageous and unheard of.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the contingency and the budget that forgoes Coliseum revenue completely would include significant public safety funding reductions. In addition to hiring freezes on fire and police department positions already included in the main budget proposal, the building of a new fire station would be deferred. This comes as Oakland has experienced \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11992215/firefighters-battle-massive-west-oakland-warehouse-fire-overnight\">multiple fires in the past week\u003c/a>, and experts anticipate a busy fire season this summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tighter budget would also freeze 78 sworn police officer positions and additional civilian positions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilmember Dan Kalb said before the meeting that he planned to support the budget that includes Coliseum sale funds, saying that the alternative budget includes “horribly draconian cuts” to public safety positions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are making some tough decisions,” he told KQED. “The $63 million allows us to spread that out instead of having to do all of those things now, which would be a huge impact, a huge punch in the gut to the city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The July 1 budget deadline comes quickly after Oakland was plunged deep into turmoil — on June 19, 14 people were shot near Lake Merritt after a Juneteenth celebration, and the next morning, FBI agents \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11991658/oakland-mayor-sheng-thao-to-make-first-public-comments-since-fbi-raids\">raided the mayor’s home\u003c/a> along with the homes of two members of a politically connected family and the offices of their recycling company. Earlier in the week, an effort to recall Thao qualified for the November ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the contingency and alternative budget that the council will consider were introduced in recent days, amid the upheaval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the FBI raids, council members’ responses have centered largely on their focus on the budget process.

The proposal introduced by Mayor Sheng Thao’s office includes $63 million in one-time funds that could \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11987568/oakland-coliseum-sale-expected-to-help-city-avoid-drastic-budget-cuts\">come from the Coliseum sale\u003c/a> and a contingency plan in the event those funds aren’t available by September. A second proposal, requested by some council members, cuts those funds from the outset.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahead of the meeting on Friday, Councilmember Janani Ramachandran said the budget that counts on proceeds from the Coliseum sale is a “nonstarter” because the city is “nowhere near having a deal signed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The other budget that’s presented as an alternative is really the only option that we have to work with,” she told KQED. “To be presented with a drastically new budget three days before the day we have to vote is outrageous and unheard of.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the contingency and the budget that forgoes Coliseum revenue completely would include significant public safety funding reductions. In addition to hiring freezes on fire and police department positions already included in the main budget proposal, the building of a new fire station would be deferred. This comes as Oakland has experienced \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11992215/firefighters-battle-massive-west-oakland-warehouse-fire-overnight\">multiple fires in the past week\u003c/a>, and experts anticipate a busy fire season this summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tighter budget would also freeze 78 sworn police officer positions and additional civilian positions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilmember Dan Kalb said before the meeting that he planned to support the budget that includes Coliseum sale funds, saying that the alternative budget includes “horribly draconian cuts” to public safety positions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are making some tough decisions,” he told KQED. “The $63 million allows us to spread that out instead of having to do all of those things now, which would be a huge impact, a huge punch in the gut to the city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The July 1 budget deadline comes quickly after Oakland was plunged deep into turmoil — on June 19, 14 people were shot near Lake Merritt after a Juneteenth celebration, and the next morning, FBI agents \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11991658/oakland-mayor-sheng-thao-to-make-first-public-comments-since-fbi-raids\">raided the mayor’s home\u003c/a> along with the homes of two members of a politically connected family and the offices of their recycling company. Earlier in the week, an effort to recall Thao qualified for the November ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the contingency and alternative budget that the council will consider were introduced in recent days, amid the upheaval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the FBI raids, council members’ responses have centered largely on their focus on the budget process. Kalb said he feels confident the council will be able to approve a budget in the coming days, but Ramachandran said that she doesn’t believe they’ve had enough time to examine and propose amendments to the plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just know, personally, in good conscience, I can’t make a vote today on either of these budget scenarios,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>June 28: The original version of this report incorrectly said an effort to recall District Attorney Pamela Price qualified last week for the November ballot.

It’s a wonderful place and just didn’t deserve all this negative press.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the raids, Thao has remained silent — even on the Juneteenth shootings — causing political strategists, city residents and political opponents to raise speculation about her future in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Here we are more than 24 hours since residents saw FBI agents moving boxes out of the mayor’s house, and she still hasn’t spoken,” said Justin Berton, a media strategist and the former director of communications for Mayor Libby Schaaf. “That suggests to me she’s not going to release a statement. Rather, she’s considering how to resign.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When contacted for comment on Friday afternoon, Anthony Brass, a San Francisco-based attorney representing Thao, said the mayor is willing to cooperate fully with federal investigators — and that she will continue to do her job. He said Thao will address the public next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She has nothing to hide,” he said in a text message to KQED. “It’s unfortunate that she has had to endure the bad optics of having this search warrant executed on her home. She would have cooperated with this investigation without the need for this search.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She will continue to do the work Oakland expects from their mayor and provide the federal government with whatever information they are seeking. We have no information that she is or will be the target of this or any investigation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thao’s problems were mounting before the FBI raid. Donations to her campaign, among others, came under investigation by state and local political watchdog agencies, which alleged Cal Waste was illegally funneling them. She had come under scrutiny in recent months over concerns about crime and the departure of the Oakland A’s baseball team, and the signatures collected by opponents seeking to recall her in a November election were verified on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The recall was going to be a steep climb politically in the first place,” Berton said. “But if she’s facing a recall and carrying an FBI investigation on her back too, that just became Mt. Everest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Pelissero, the director of government ethics at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University, told KQED that it would be hard for a public official like Thao to govern after an FBI raid because there would be a lack of public confidence in their ability to serve in the public interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And long before there’s even a trial, there’s the risk that the trust in the mayor and trust and in the city government of Oakland will be impacted,” he said. “From an ethical perspective, the appearance of serious charges pending because of the raid is going to undermine the ability of the mayor to carry out her duties.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calls for Thao’s resignation have come from the recall campaign, some community leaders and the Oakland branch of the NAACP, which said Thao “cannot focus on the needs of the residents of Oakland while she addresses the major challenges posed by the FBI raid and investigation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brenda Harbin-Forte, a retired Alameda County Superior Court judge and president of Oakland United to Recall Sheng Thao, agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She was not going to survive this recall,” Harbin-Forte said. “You can’t govern a city and be distracted by these investigations that are going on. It’s going to be a distraction, and we need someone who can give Oakland [their] full-time attention. We’re hoping that she will consider resigning and not delay the inevitable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If she were to do that, she would send the message that she can put Oaklanders first.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson, who also believes Thao should resign, said the mayor’s absence is concerning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where is the mayor? Is she even around?” Jackson said. “No one seems to have heard from her, and she hasn’t made a sound about anything that’s been going on. … It feels kind of bad that we really don’t have the leadership in the city of Oakland that we really need and desperately need at these trying times.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although it’s unclear whether Thao has done any official city business since the raids, a spokesperson for the city of Oakland said in a statement on Friday that City Administrator Jestin Johnson is responsible for day-to-day administrative and fiscal operations to carry out the mayor’s policy goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson, who was appointed by Thao in May 2023, noted in an email sent Thursday to city workers that Oakland has had challenging moments since he began working for the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today, like every day, our community needs, and rightfully expects, the high-quality public services we provide,” Johnson wrote. “Through every challenge we face together, we demonstrate our dedication to that service.

Rather, she’s considering how to resign.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When contacted for comment on Friday afternoon, Anthony Brass, a San Francisco-based attorney representing Thao, said the mayor is willing to cooperate fully with federal investigators — and that she will continue to do her job. He said Thao will address the public next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She has nothing to hide,” he said in a text message to KQED. “It’s unfortunate that she has had to endure the bad optics of having this search warrant executed on her home.

We have no information that she is or will be the target of this or any investigation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thao’s problems were mounting before the FBI raid. Donations to her campaign, among others, came under investigation by state and local political watchdog agencies, which alleged Cal Waste was illegally funneling them. She had come under scrutiny in recent months over concerns about crime and the departure of the Oakland A’s baseball team, and the signatures collected by opponents seeking to recall her in a November election were verified on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The recall was going to be a steep climb politically in the first place,” Berton said. “But if she’s facing a recall and carrying an FBI investigation on her back too, that just became Mt. Everest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Pelissero, the director of government ethics at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University, told KQED that it would be hard for a public official like Thao to govern after an FBI raid because there would be a lack of public confidence in their ability to serve in the public interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And long before there’s even a trial, there’s the risk that the trust in the mayor and trust and in the city government of Oakland will be impacted,” he said. “From an ethical perspective, the appearance of serious charges pending because of the raid is going to undermine the ability of the mayor to carry out her duties.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calls for Thao’s resignation have come from the recall campaign, some community leaders and the Oakland branch of the NAACP, which said Thao “cannot focus on the needs of the residents of Oakland while she addresses the major challenges posed by the FBI raid and investigation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brenda Harbin-Forte, a retired Alameda County Superior Court judge and president of Oakland United to Recall Sheng Thao, agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She was not going to survive this recall,” Harbin-Forte said. “You can’t govern a city and be distracted by these investigations that are going on. It’s going to be a distraction, and we need someone who can give Oakland [their] full-time attention. We’re hoping that she will consider resigning and not delay the inevitable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If she were to do that, she would send the message that she can put Oaklanders first.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson, who also believes Thao should resign, said the mayor’s absence is concerning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where is the mayor? Is she even around?” Jackson said. “No one seems to have heard from her, and she hasn’t made a sound about anything that’s been going on. … It feels kind of bad that we really don’t have the leadership in the city of Oakland that we really need and desperately need at these trying times.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although it’s unclear whether Thao has done any official city business since the raids, a spokesperson for the city of Oakland said in a statement on Friday that City Administrator Jestin Johnson is responsible for day-to-day administrative and fiscal operations to carry out the mayor’s policy goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson, who was appointed by Thao in May 2023, noted in an email sent Thursday to city workers that Oakland has had challenging moments since he began working for the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today, like every day, our community needs, and rightfully expects, the high-quality public services we provide,” Johnson wrote. “Through every challenge we face together, we demonstrate our dedication to that service.

Although the FBI has not disclosed what it is investigating, such search warrants require law enforcement agents to show they have probable cause to believe there is evidence of a federal crime at the location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, the family and its company have faced allegations of ethics violations in the past, drawing the attention of political watchdogs for their close relationships with political figures and accusations that they funneled tens of thousands of dollars through straw donors to political campaigns, including Thao’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s what we know about the Duongs and their company so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How the Duongs arrived in Oakland\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>According to David, he and 15 family members came to San Francisco after fleeing the Vietnam War by small boat, spending two years in a refugee camp in the Philippines before eventually landing in the city in 1979.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He told KQED in 2017 that when they first arrived, he and his siblings would take walks around the Financial District, sorting recyclables out of people’s trash waiting to be collected on city streets — the start of the family business, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a few years, the family saved enough to buy a small recycling plant in West Oakland, and in 1992, they started Cal Waste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the continuing leadership of David and his siblings Kristina and Victor, who are also the majority stockholders of the company, Cal Waste has grown to the largest waste management company in Northern California, according to its website, with multiple plants and over 300 employees in Oakland and San José.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2015, the company has had the “exclusive right to provide Oakland residents residential recycling collection services,” according to a City Council ordinance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past decade, the Duongs have become powerful political players in Oakland. They’ve also found themselves in some hot water with the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A campaign finance investigation into the company\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In August 2019, California’s Fair Political Practices Commission launched an investigation into Andy Duong, David Duong’s son and a purchasing agent and public relations officer for the family company, along with Cal Waste, accusing him and the company of using the names of others to donate to local campaign committees illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2021, the FPPC and Oakland Public Ethics Commission published a 30-page probable cause report alleging that Cal Waste was the “true source” of at least 93 donations between 2016 and 2018 that were filed under different peoples’ names in a “campaign contribution laundering scheme,” totaling over $76,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thirteen of the donations, totaling $9,900, were to Thao’s 2018 campaign for City Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report concluded that probable cause exists to believe Andy and Cal Waste, or alternately, just Andy, violated the state’s Political Reform Act, which prohibits using the name of another to make a donation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation looked at donations made between 2016 and 2018, during which time the city of Oakland prohibited campaign contributions from any contractors providing services that require City Council approval. At the time, Cal Waste was involved in ongoing negotiations with the city to purchase and lease land for recycling facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FPPC investigation is pending, according to the commission’s case portal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A warning letter from the FPPC in July 2023, addressed to David Duong and Duong Family Investments, states that the company failed to disclose its status as a major donor committee during two reporting periods in 2018, as well as “late contributions” of more than $1,000 made to a candidate committee within 90 days of an election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An agency representative told KQED that “a warning letter from the FPPC Enforcement Division is a finding of a violation of the Political Reform Act. The penalty for violations can range from a warning letter up to $5,000 per violation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the July 2023 warning letter, an individual or entity that donates more than $10,000 is considered a major donor committee. Duong Family Investments surpassed that threshold in February 2018 and made additional contributions in the latter half of the year, neither of which were reported in a timely manner, the FPPC said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Cal Waste slapped with overcharging lawsuit\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Cal Waste first got into legal heat with Oakland in 2017, when the city filed a lawsuit alleging that the company overcharged residents for bringing recycling bins to multi-family dwellings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Waste countersued, accusing the city of miscalculating how many housing units it would service and hurting the company’s revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December 2021, the lawsuit and countersuit were settled, with Cal Waste agreeing to correct its service charges and refund all of residents’ previous overpayments. The city paid the company $1.7 million and gave it $1.5 million of cost reductions for its obligations under the city contract.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Funding an expensive — and lavish — business trip\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>David Duong is also president of the Vietnamese American Business Association, housed in the same office building as Cal Waste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The business group co-sponsored a 2023 trip to Vietnam for Oakland officials — including Thao — to the tune of $12,000 per person, according to reporting from the \u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em>. The costs included business class flights, five-star hotel stays and meals and transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The association also helped plan the trip’s itinerary, which aimed to promote Oakland’s trade relations with Vietnam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the office building at 1211 Embarcadero was among the locations searched by FBI agents on Thursday, a spokesperson for the FBI’s San Francisco media team could not disclose which suites within the building were raided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four of the five top Vietnamese American Business Association leadership positions are held by Duongs — including all three of Cal Waste’s primary owners, David, Victor, and Krista, along with Michael.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Another legal battle and more campaign donations in San José\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Cal Waste has a pending lawsuit against the city of San José, where it also has a contract to collect curbside recycling for about a third of the city’s residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company sued San José in April 2023, claiming the city was not doing enough to help prevent residents from putting extra trash in their recycling bins, forcing the recycler to “collect and process massive amounts of garbage at an extra cost to [Cal Waste] of tens of millions of dollars,” court filings said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The misplaced garbage made it “impossible” to meet required recycling minimums, leading to millions of dollars worth of diversion penalties on the company, the lawsuit said. It also claims the city is discriminating against Cal Waste because it is an immigrant-owned business and treating it differently than other non-minority waste contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San José has refuted the claims, contending it has done extensive work to support Cal Waste and educate residents on proper trash and recycling disposal. It also has increased the company’s annual compensation and offered financial incentives worth millions, but Cal Waste’s “historically deficient performance” has continued, the city said in a recent court filing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FPPC’s probe into Andy Duong and Cal Waste also includes several donations made to campaign committees in San José, including two funding City Council incumbent Tam Nguyen and Santa Clara County supervisor candidate Don Rocha in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rocha, a member of the Santa Clara County Board of Education, is a former San José City Councilmember. He told KQED he was not aware of a laundering scheme by the Duongs to donate to his campaign for supervisor in 2018.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“That was never conveyed to me or discussed with me or presented to me,” Rocha said. “I would not have accepted those checks.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rocha said he knows Victor Duong through his work in the public sector.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I’ve worked at (San José) city hall on and off for 30 years. Anybody who has worked that long is going to run into him, especially if you work in city government,” he said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rocha said the FPPC previously asked him for a list of who donated to his campaign for supervisor and inquired about some of them.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“And that was where it ended,” Rocha said, noting he hasn’t heard from the FPPC since.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nguyen declined to comment when reached.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Ongoing political donations\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Despite the open FPPC investigation, the family is still very much involved with political campaigns. This year, David Duong has donated more than $41,000 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee and $9,100 to the Democratic Party of Virginia. In total, his contributions to state and federal campaign committees are more than $100,000 since January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andy Duong has also contributed to multiple election campaign committees this year, racking up over $7,000 in donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">KQED emailed Steven Churchwell, an attorney who received an FPPC warning \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.fppc.ca.gov/content/dam/fppc/documents/enf_letter/2023/09-15-23/Duong-Family-Investments-202000403.pdf\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">letter\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> on behalf of David Duong for violating campaign finance rules, to ask about the violations. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“California Waste Solutions is aware that federal agents executed search warrants at a number of locations in Oakland yesterday related to CWS,” he said in response. “The company is fully cooperating with the government’s investigation and is confident that the government will conclude that the company and its owners were not involved in any unlawful or improper activity.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Joseph Geha contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Editor’s Note:\u003c/strong> An earlier version referred incorrectly to a pending FPPC lawsuit.

Although the FBI has not disclosed what it is investigating, such search warrants require law enforcement agents to show they have probable cause to believe there is evidence of a federal crime at the location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, the family and its company have faced allegations of ethics violations in the past, drawing the attention of political watchdogs for their close relationships with political figures and accusations that they funneled tens of thousands of dollars through straw donors to political campaigns, including Thao’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s what we know about the Duongs and their company so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How the Duongs arrived in Oakland\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>According to David, he and 15 family members came to San Francisco after fleeing the Vietnam War by small boat, spending two years in a refugee camp in the Philippines before eventually landing in the city in 1979.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He told KQED in 2017 that when they first arrived, he and his siblings would take walks around the Financial District, sorting recyclables out of people’s trash waiting to be collected on city streets — the start of the family business, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a few years, the family saved enough to buy a small recycling plant in West Oakland, and in 1992, they started Cal Waste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the continuing leadership of David and his siblings Kristina and Victor, who are also the majority stockholders of the company, Cal Waste has grown to the largest waste management company in Northern California, according to its website, with multiple plants and over 300 employees in Oakland and San José.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2015, the company has had the “exclusive right to provide Oakland residents residential recycling collection services,” according to a City Council ordinance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past decade, the Duongs have become powerful political players in Oakland. They’ve also found themselves in some hot water with the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A campaign finance investigation into the company\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In August 2019, California’s Fair Political Practices Commission launched an investigation into Andy Duong, David Duong’s son and a purchasing agent and public relations officer for the family company, along with Cal Waste, accusing him and the company of using the names of others to donate to local campaign committees illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2021, the FPPC and Oakland Public Ethics Commission published a 30-page probable cause report alleging that Cal Waste was the “true source” of at least 93 donations between 2016 and 2018 that were filed under different peoples’ names in a “campaign contribution laundering scheme,” totaling over $76,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thirteen of the donations, totaling $9,900, were to Thao’s 2018 campaign for City Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report concluded that probable cause exists to believe Andy and Cal Waste, or alternately, just Andy, violated the state’s Political Reform Act, which prohibits using the name of another to make a donation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation looked at donations made between 2016 and 2018, during which time the city of Oakland prohibited campaign contributions from any contractors providing services that require City Council approval. At the time, Cal Waste was involved in ongoing negotiations with the city to purchase and lease land for recycling facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FPPC investigation is pending, according to the commission’s case portal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A warning letter from the FPPC in July 2023, addressed to David Duong and Duong Family Investments, states that the company failed to disclose its status as a major donor committee during two reporting periods in 2018, as well as “late contributions” of more than $1,000 made to a candidate committee within 90 days of an election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An agency representative told KQED that “a warning letter from the FPPC Enforcement Division is a finding of a violation of the Political Reform Act. The penalty for violations can range from a warning letter up to $5,000 per violation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the July 2023 warning letter, an individual or entity that donates more than $10,000 is considered a major donor committee. Duong Family Investments surpassed that threshold in February 2018 and made additional contributions in the latter half of the year, neither of which were reported in a timely manner, the FPPC said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Cal Waste slapped with overcharging lawsuit\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Cal Waste first got into legal heat with Oakland in 2017, when the city filed a lawsuit alleging that the company overcharged residents for bringing recycling bins to multi-family dwellings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Waste countersued, accusing the city of miscalculating how many housing units it would service and hurting the company’s revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December 2021, the lawsuit and countersuit were settled, with Cal Waste agreeing to correct its service charges and refund all of residents’ previous overpayments. The city paid the company $1.7 million and gave it $1.5 million of cost reductions for its obligations under the city contract.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Funding an expensive — and lavish — business trip\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>David Duong is also president of the Vietnamese American Business Association, housed in the same office building as Cal Waste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The business group co-sponsored a 2023 trip to Vietnam for Oakland officials — including Thao — to the tune of $12,000 per person, according to reporting from the \u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em>. The costs included business class flights, five-star hotel stays and meals and transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The association also helped plan the trip’s itinerary, which aimed to promote Oakland’s trade relations with Vietnam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the office building at 1211 Embarcadero was among the locations searched by FBI agents on Thursday, a spokesperson for the FBI’s San Francisco media team could not disclose which suites within the building were raided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four of the five top Vietnamese American Business Association leadership positions are held by Duongs — including all three of Cal Waste’s primary owners, David, Victor, and Krista, along with Michael.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Another legal battle and more campaign donations in San José\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Cal Waste has a pending lawsuit against the city of San José, where it also has a contract to collect curbside recycling for about a third of the city’s residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company sued San José in April 2023, claiming the city was not doing enough to help prevent residents from putting extra trash in their recycling bins, forcing the recycler to “collect and process massive amounts of garbage at an extra cost to [Cal Waste] of tens of millions of dollars,” court filings said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The misplaced garbage made it “impossible” to meet required recycling minimums, leading to millions of dollars worth of diversion penalties on the company, the lawsuit said. It also claims the city is discriminating against Cal Waste because it is an immigrant-owned business and treating it differently than other non-minority waste contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San José has refuted the claims, contending it has done extensive work to support Cal Waste and educate residents on proper trash and recycling disposal. It also has increased the company’s annual compensation and offered financial incentives worth millions, but Cal Waste’s “historically deficient performance” has continued, the city said in a recent court filing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FPPC’s probe into Andy Duong and Cal Waste also includes several donations made to campaign committees in San José, including two funding City Council incumbent Tam Nguyen and Santa Clara County supervisor candidate Don Rocha in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rocha, a member of the Santa Clara County Board of Education, is a former San José City Councilmember. He told KQED he was not aware of a laundering scheme by the Duongs to donate to his campaign for supervisor in 2018.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“That was never conveyed to me or discussed with me or presented to me,” Rocha said. “I would not have accepted those checks.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rocha said he knows Victor Duong through his work in the public sector.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I’ve worked at (San José) city hall on and off for 30 years. Anybody who has worked that long is going to run into him, especially if you work in city government,” he said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rocha said the FPPC previously asked him for a list of who donated to his campaign for supervisor and inquired about some of them.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“And that was where it ended,” Rocha said, noting he hasn’t heard from the FPPC since.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nguyen declined to comment when reached.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Ongoing political donations\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Despite the open FPPC investigation, the family is still very much involved with political campaigns. This year, David Duong has donated more than $41,000 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee and $9,100 to the Democratic Party of Virginia. In total, his contributions to state and federal campaign committees are more than $100,000 since January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andy Duong has also contributed to multiple election campaign committees this year, racking up over $7,000 in donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">KQED emailed Steven Churchwell, an attorney who received an FPPC warning \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.fppc.ca.gov/content/dam/fppc/documents/enf_letter/2023/09-15-23/Duong-Family-Investments-202000403.pdf\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">letter\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> on behalf of David Duong for violating campaign finance rules, to ask about the violations. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“California Waste Solutions is aware that federal agents executed search warrants at a number of locations in Oakland yesterday related to CWS,” he said in response. “The company is fully cooperating with the government’s investigation and is confident that the government will conclude that the company and its owners were not involved in any unlawful or improper activity.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Joseph Geha contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Editor’s Note:\u003c/strong> An earlier version referred incorrectly to a pending FPPC lawsuit.
