Yeetle Box - Heads I Win


Two California lawmakers are at war - over a parking space.

When a veteran Oakland City Council member left office, it set off a battle between Desley Brooks and Jean Quan for the outgoing official's spot at the side door of City Hall - prime real estate for those with a sense of self-importance.

The brouhaha landed in the laps of Council President Jane Brunner and City Attorney John Russo, who ruled the combatants should flip a coin - as is based on California statute when minor public officials behave like children.

Quan has agreed, but Brooks has not. He stated he would be willing to engage in a Thumb War instead.
