Per Captain Hahn of the Sacramento Police Department on 6/26/08 emailed us to advise the PD is going to hold a town hall meeting with residents to discuss the recent rash of home invasion robberies plaguing the Natomas area.

Capt. Daniel Hahn wrote: “I wanted to get this information to you as soon as possible. The Natomas (both North and South) community/neighborhood associations and the Police Department will be hosting a community meeting on Monday at 6:30 pm regarding the recent rash of…

Any euphoric politicians willing to go on record and say we Natomas residents should still feel “safe”? Broad daylight is evidently no longer a crime deterrent in this age of $5 per gallon gas (or milk). Add two more home invasion/armed robberies to the growing list of those taking place in what Mayor Heather Fargo calls “New Sacramento” (us residents living over here call it plain old “Natomas” or “The New South”). The two home invasion crimes today happened in…

How cold? Cold enough to burst into an Indiana bank in broad daylight, jump over the counter and shoot a five month pregnant bank teller in the stomach before she could even acknowledge his selfish demands. Both of her five month old fetal twins died the day after the shooting.

The ONLY good news to come out of this horrific story is that one Brian Kendrick and his accomplice, Aaron Stewart, were apprehended by police due to a tip provided by a…

Where is the love? Sorry, I can’t paint a brighter picture of Natomas. I appreciate the stepped-up efforts of the police department, but we’re still a long way from where we need to be..

Thinking about buying a home in Natomas? DON’T. Natomas is the city’s dumping ground for low income housing, and it is plagued by criminal activity from the big box strip malls to the interiors of the Natomas and Regency Park neighborhoods. And it’s only going to get…

My wife and I chose the song “Our Love is Here to Stay” as our wedding song back in 1993. We liked the imagery the lyrics invoked “..the rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble, but our love is here to stay..” If we had to choose another song knowing what we know now, fifteen years later, I’m thinking it would probably be something more like “The Long and Winding Road.”

Anyone who has been married and tried hard to make it work…

What follows is a report detailing crimes/complaints occurring in the Natomas area within the past several days. This information was provided by the Sacramento Police Department. The text appears just as the PD drafted it…

(183766) 6/7/08 (Friday night/Saturday morning) @ 1:08 am @ the Center Court Restaurant.
Center Court was at capacity with a DJ on the patio. They ended up turning away about 200 people due to being at capacity. Several fights eventually broke out in the parking lot…

Last chance, Heather… I even dropped one to give you some elbow room…

Mayor Fargo, (hfargo@cityofsacramento.org)

1. Are you collecting the $550 per month mayoral car allowance? If so, are you using a vehicle for official business, and how many driving miles have you personally logged in the past two years?

Yesterday I banged out a spirited rant about the local newspaper’s Fargo-favorable rebuttal to KJ’s crime claims. In my diatribe, I pointed my binary pen at the local newspaper, as well as Heather Fargo and the Police Department for dismissing concerns about public safety (Police: “citizens should feel safe”; Fargo: “Citizens should not feel unsafe”; Newspaper: “To hear KJ tell it Sacramento is a violent place”).

Suffice to say, after a good night’s sleep (and a few strong cups of San…

In defiance of Sacramento Mayor Heather Fargo’s  wishes, Sacramento Police Chief Rick Braziel announced today he will NOT re-open a 16 year old young woman’s [retracted] “groping” allegation against Fargo’s arch political nemesis, former Phoenix Sun all star, Kevin Johnson.

A former teacher at Johnson’s St. Hope Charter High School had alleged in 2007 that the teen told him (during a camping field trip in Yosemite) that Johnson had touched her breast. When the young lady was questioned by police, she retracted her…

If you support this interview request: Please send a personal email to hfargo@cityofsacramento.org with a copy of the questions. Thank you.

The following email was sent to Mayor Fargo at 11:40am PST today via email. I will keep you apprised of her office’s response–if any.

Mayor Fargo,

I am requesting in interview, please. Email response is fine. If you prefer, I can call you. Either way, I commit to a quick, professional conversation and rant-free interview.

1. Are you collecting the $550 per month…
