"A new legal opinion from the Oakland City Attorney&amp;#8217;s Office will effectively allow ex-state Senator Don Perata to exceed the city&amp;#8217;s spending cap in the mayor&amp;#8217;s race and not have to worry about potential consequences until well after the election. The opinion, coupled with the city&amp;#8217;s cumbersome process for investigating campaign finance violations, also likely means that voters won&amp;#8217;t know for sure whether Perata has broken any laws until after they&amp;#8217;ve cast their ballots."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
