ray trethewayTime to stop and smell the flowers with Sunshine Ray Tretheway and his staff! Here we have included a few of our favorite quotes from two Tretheway letters that appeared on the Natomas Buzz (http://www.natomasbuzz.com) web site recently.

The first set of bites are from Tretheway himself in response to a resident’s status update on the North Natomas Financial Plan, in which the resident pleads with community members to come to city council meetings to convince the regal council that North…

Chuck D of Public Enemy is arguably the greatest rap artist of all time–at least in this observer’s opinion.  Throughout the 80’s and 90’s, the “Rebel without a pause” Chuck crafted some of the most blistering word assaults on conditions in America since the 1960’s peace movement.

An exorbitant amount of air and print time has been devoted to smearing Kevin Johnson’s character, while Mayor Fargo has been able to sit in the bleachers with a bag of popcorn, watching the circus unscathed, her record as mayor not even in question.

This is unacceptable, isn’t it? Why isn’t the Bee and local TV/Radio scrutinizing Fargo’s performance for the past 8 years? Is our local media that lazy ? Are they only interested in the low hanging fruit? Sure…
