Posted on: City says too many laundromats may be a problem
Dear Berk Reader, Thanks for your note about the CEDA acronym. We've made the correction in the text. Also, we'll continue to follow the City Council's decisions about laundromats and nail salons, and provide more data about how these businesses impact neighborhoods. #

Posted on: Council president Brunner asks community to support police funding through ballot measure
An earlier version of this story referred to a "bond measure." After contacting Council President Brunner's office, we've replaced the term here with the more correct "ballot measure." John Grennan, Oakland North Staff #

Posted on: Feinstein endorses Perata in mayor's race
Thanks for this helpful correction, Vsmoothe. We have changed the wording in the story to reflect the fact that Kaplan has announced that she has formed a mayoral exploratory committee, but not officially declared herself a candidate at this time. #

Posted on: Earthquakes, Earth Day and potholes: Behind the scenes at City Council
Dear Al, Thanks for your comment. My original story overstated the number of city governments in the Bay Area by 11. According to the Association of Bay Area Government's website, there are 101 city governments: http://www.abag.ca.gov/abag/local_gov/city/city.html# My original figure of 112 also included county and other regional government bodies in the Bay Area. I've corrected it in this version of the story. #
