KCRA reports today that our Sacramento City Council is “irritated” with the Utilities department over the results of a recently completed audit that exposed potential mismanagement there, as well as other improprieties such as $1,000,000 worth of missing water meters.
In fact the council is so angry with the mean ol’ utilities department, says KCRA, that [...]

In light of the anti technology ideas spilling out of city hall, you would never know incumbent mayor Heather Fargo is the same progressive visionary her campaign spin doctors have presented her as in recent months.
If there were any questions about the Fargo-led Sacramento City Council’s aversion to technology and progress, their latest shenanigan [...]

The Sacramento Smear Bee has announced it will lay off 10% of its work force in an effort to cut costs. If you’ve been reading my blog since its inception you may recall an article I posted about three weeks ago titled “Is the Sacramento Bee engineering controversy to sell newspapers? Duh.”
OK, I am not [...]

Do you hear that flushing sound? That’s the sound of thousands of Sacramento taxpayer dollars being flushed down the drain again.
Two weeks and untold dollars later, The City of Sacramento (OUR city of Sacramento), has released Police Chief Rick Braziel’s “Final” memo regarding his department’s investigation of a teen’s allegation of hand-sliding against Kevin [...]

Is the champagne premature?
Despite being 3 percentage points shy of a clean victory, and apparently unfazed by statistical facts stating he would need an odds- defying—but theoretically possible—64% of the uncounted vote to win the Larry O’Brien award of Sac politics, Kevin Johnson all but declared himself the victor of Sacramento’s 2008 mayoral election yesterday.

David Blane eat your heart out. First she dodged FEMA, then she dodged her constituents’ legitimate questions about her record, last night she dodged a falling a tree, and now she has dazzled us with an act Houdini would be proud of: Dodging the popular vote.
Yep, Sacramento handed Heathers yet another mulligan last night. Even [...]

I originally started this site on my own volition as a rebuttal to the 447 smear campaign against Kevin Johnson, someone I believe to be a very good man with a very good heart who—by his own admission—used bad judgment at one point in his otherwise extraordinary career.
You can talk all the garbage you want [...]

Today the Bee announced Robert Lee Drumgoole will be running as a write-in candidate for the mayoral election. Drumgoole was smart to wait until the last possible day. Otherwise he probably would have been running with Kevin.. for his life.

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?

While Sacramento may have grabbed an 8th place award for livable cities, the election season bloopers we’ve witnessed in recent weeks definitely won’t win us a best screenplay award to go with it. Voters have stood by in awe, watching Fargo and supporters fling mud pie after mud pie out of her city hall bunker [...]
