Apparently usurping Fargo wasn’t enough. Mayor Johnson now wants to be CEO of Sacramento, too. Is he ready?
No matter your stance on today’s news about KJ’s stated desire to essentially kick the council to the curb and take full command of the city, I think we can all agree he is following through on his [...]

May I rant for a minute? After all, this is a blog. Hey just be happy I don’t put up restaurant reviews and family photo galleries! My Tuesday evening rant:

Hey KJ, news flash my brother: SACRAMENTO IS ON THE MAP! It was put on the map a long time ago (1839, to be specific). In [...]

First, I have some good news to report today. On a positive note, police officers brought in 13 Natomas area truants last week. According to Sac PD: “Most of them [were] taken to the Inderkum Attendance Center where there are community based organizations/social workers that attempt to get to the root cause of a students [...]

I had today off. I ended up working anyways. I headed over the freeway to South Natomas with three South Natomas residents, including District 1 city council hopeful John Dahilig. We spent a good three hours video-interviewing anyone who would talk to us, from the Natomas High area to the [...]

Happy Halloween, Sacramento!Looks like it’s going to be a damp one. May the make-up run and the candy stay dry!  Answer to the best of your knowledge. Ghoul luck!
1. Before they joined the illustrious ranks of the city council, South Natomas neighbors Heather Fargo and Ray Truthaway successfully sued the city of Sacramento on behalf [...]

In my estimation the real victors tonight were the voters, thanks to the superlative work of debate moderators, Edie Lambert and Gulstan Dart–especially Edie. I was already a fan, but I have even more respect for her after this debate. Edie posed explicit questions to Johnson, and then pressed him to elaborate on his answers, [...]

Violent felons, repeat felons, and criminals everywhere: Are you looking for work? Come on down to Sac Town! The door’s wide open!

Economy got you down? Do you have a hardcore drug habit you need to support!?? Are you a dyed-in-the-wool career criminal who is dying to assault and rob innocent, hardworking taxpayers??  Well doggone it [...]

Shortly after I published Angelique Ashby’s smoldering letter to the Natomas community about the West Natomas fire,  District One Councilman Ray Tretheway sent his own email to the community, replete with canned sentimentality only Razor Sharp Ray could cook up on a moment’s notice.
I received Sunshine Ray’s letter via email this afternoon. In classic Tretheway [...]

Fargo was absolutely pathetic on every level last night. In 22 years as a business professional and voter, I have never witnessed such an egregious, vindictive public official so replete with resentment. One absolutely can not be an effective leader (let along consensus builder!) with that kind of emotion ruling one’s entire [...]
