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 of their neighborhood association to stop urban sprawl in their community. Trick or Truth?

2. Ray Truthaway is the executive director for the Sacramento Tree Foundation…

When Eric Hogue asked me on his Capitol Hour radio show  last week if I thought the council could be salvaged, I was optimistic. I opined the council might have a chance with a quality leader.   Oops. I stand corrected. It’s going to be a long two years with this comedy troupe in charge.  But one thing’s for sure, not everyone will be laughing..

If you didn’t make it out to last night’s council meeting, you…

I received my absentee ballot today. These days I get pretty excited when I see that envelope in the mail. Admittedly, earlier in my adult life I wasn’t too interested in politics. I was too busy doing other things. I guess I never had a reason to care. After all, it was easy to buy a house back then, and groceries and gas were inexpensive.

Another day, another ‘kick in the teeth’ of Sacramento taxpayers. At this rate, we’re all going to need dentures pretty soon. Couple of things to cover here. Let’s start with Mayor Fargo’s number one priority: Trees.

Countin’ trees ay? Hope they count them trees better than they counted…

If your kid ever asks you, “Mom/Dad, what does it mean when someone says you have ’sour grapes’?” you may want to show them a picture of Sacramento County Supervisor Roger Dickinson.

In fact, in light of his statements in a recent radio interview, Dickinson may have enough sour grapes to start his own winery–or is that “whinery”?

Shortly after the Sacramento City Council joined other cities in REJECTING a permutation of Dickinson’s anti-gang tax shenanigan,  he appeared on Ben Adler’s Capital…

Remember the names of these five bandits the next time you go to the polling place: “Heather Fargo, “Sunshine” Ray Tretheway, Rob Fong, Kevin McCarty and Bonnie Pannell.”

These are your city council members who voted YES to a city wide “gang tax” fantasy that seeks to penalize the working class to plug GAPING budget holes the city government themselves created.

Earlier tonight, newly converted, born again crime-fighting superhero Heather “Mrs. Incredible” Fargo somehow got four city council members to go along with…
