By Joe • Dec 12th, 2008 | Bookmark and Share

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 [...]

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 [...]

Johnson and Fargo face the music in final debate.. and it’s a dandy thanks to Sacramento residents and moderators

By Joe • Oct 27th, 2008 | Bookmark and Share

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, [...]

Fargo’s snarky grin, interruptions, and mumbling don’t faze Johnson in second televised mayoral debate

By Joe • Oct 6th, 2008 | Bookmark and Share

Updated 8:30am - 7Oct08
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 [...]
