California Congresswoman walked away from $578K mortgage

May 21st, 2008 | By admin | Category: Politics

Understand that sometimes we as a collective need to step in and help out our fellow man. I also understand that sometimes it is better for all of us to step in and help. For example the mortgage crisis. It is in all of our best interest to make sure we don’t [...]



Heather Fargo Wastes Police Resources

May 21st, 2008 | By admin | Category: Politics

Mayor Heather Fargo, right, wants Sacramento police to reopen an investigation against opponent Kevin Johnson. Last year, police investigators found claims made against Johnson by a 17-year-old girl were without merit. I just read a Sacramento Bee article on this and I am appalled. This shows the true moral character of Fargo. [...]



Heather Fargo Out of Touch

May 15th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Politics

Heather Fargo seems so out of touch with Sacramento and the residents that live her. I will not be able to vote for mayor as I don’t live within city limits, but I do watch the race. Whatever happens in Sacramento affects the region.
Over at Joe Sacramento I see a posting about Sacramento’s crime rate. [...]

Why won’t our county supervisors work on the issues in the county?  At 3 p.m. today, county’s supervisors are set to discuss renaming Goethe Park, which was named after Charles Goethe in 1965.  Why?  The park has had the same name for over 40 years.  Is someone now offended because apparently Goethe a racist?
Funny how [...]



What is up with Sacramento leaders?

Jan 10th, 2008 | By Matthew | Category: Politics, Sac News

First two of our county supervisors support resolutions on Iraq and now Mayor Heather Fargo thinks dealing with global warming need to be Sacramento’s top priority.  Don’t get me wrong we should care about what pollutants we are putting in the air, ground , and water, but a top priority for a city government?  I [...]

Cheered by his family, city officials and scores of smartly uniformed officers, Rick Braziel was sworn in Wednesday morning as Sacramento’s 43rd police chief.

Sacramento County supervisors have decided they won’t be offering their view on the Iraq war.  Supervisors voted 2-3 Tuesday to drop a resolution supporting a phased withdrawal of troops. Supervisor Susan Peters said the war is not an issue supervisors should be dealing with.
However, Supervisor Roger Dickinson said the decision to remove the resolution from [...]



Sacramento County Supervisors are a joke

Jan 8th, 2008 | By Matthew | Category: Politics, Sac News

Most of the Sacramento County supervisors have a tough time doing their own job let alone doing other people’s job.  The Sacramento county board of supervisors in their infinite wisdom is debating the Iraq war.  They are looking to pass a resolution calling for the phased withdrawal from Iraq.
WTF?  Do the supervisors have a clue [...]
