An Oakland councilwoman Wednesday blamed a staff error for a form claiming free tickets for herself and a family member to the city’s Oracle Arena luxury suite for a potential sixth Golden State Warriors NBA finals game June 13.
Oakland officials who use those tickets at the venue jointly owned by the city and county must declare an official purpose for attending, such as to inspect the facility’s operations or rewarding community volunteers and students.
An online form approved and posted Monday said Councilwoman Nikki Fortunato Bas was taking two tickets for herself and a family member to the potential playoff game.
