Oakland Mayor Jean Quan may soon be hitting the street.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to a report by the Oakland Tribune, <strong>a signature from Clerk LaTonda Simmons is all that is needed for a petition to begin circulating that would push for the recall of Quan as mayor.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When asked for comment about the petition, Quan told the Tribune, &#8220;It&#8217;s so unfair.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;I&#8217;m the first Asian-American mayor of a major American city,&#8221;<\/strong> Quan was quoted as saying in the Tribune, adding that her recall would not
