Mayor Kevin Johnson posted a blog called “Mayor Johnson goes green.. starting with shades and nickname“  yesterday. I couldn’t resist a few remarks. My comments are in bold..

“Call me Kevin “Green Shades” Johnson. I’ve had a few nicknames, but none I’ve liked as much as “Green Shades.” The idea of walking around with [...]

In this video from last night’s council meeting, Kevin Johnson proposes SAMI 2.0 to the council. The music at the beginning is the Metro Sac channel background music. I overdubbed it because it seems so appropriate to underscore what appears to be a lot of sincerity (and dare I say humility)  on the mayor’s part. [...]

Kevin Johnson and his boys have it all wrong. They keep saying the court’s decision to strike down the ISAMI (iMayor strong arm mayor initiative)is a slap in the public’s face. Wrong. In this Joe’s lil’ opinion the initiative’s failure is a major VICTORY for voters who were

Pow. A superior court judge has sided with a former Kevin Johnson supporter named Bill Camp who filed a suit to stop the zealous mayor’s strong arm mayor push that has dominated his mayorship since early in 2009.
As of this moment, there will be no June ballot measure for Johnson. And now a word from [...]

Upon hearing  iMayor Johnson’s new year’s resolution to “improve relations with the city council,”  Armour Steel’s Steve Ayers (the guy who wrote the letter to the  city decrying the tumultuous political environment at city hall), is quoted as saying, “[Johnson] needs to bend over backward and extend a hand to every council member. “  What [...]

Considering many claim the City Manager currently has all the power, that would seem like a coup de grace.
In typical Johnson [...]

So I hear the panel commissioned to explore charter reform for the mayor’s seat has determined it’s a good idea to give the mayor a few more goats, but not the deed to the farm. That will apparently be the topic of a two hour agenda item in tonight’s session. Sounds reasonable to me.
After the [...]

Have you seen the new bossmayor.com site? It is high quality. In fact it is boasts 100x more content and professionalism than SAG even approached. Heck, even the acronym is better:  SAVE= “Support Accountability, Voice, and Ethics in Sacramento.” I have to give props to whomever put this web site together. There is a [...]

Ryan Lillis (my favorite Bee personality), reports Mayor Johnson had an escort service on his Twitter list (the actual icon the service uses is pictured here). Of course, the service was swiftly removed once discovered by Johnson. And of course, the Johnson camp responds, it was one of the mayor’s staffers, not the mayor (and [...]

I must be so out of touch. Have you heard how the St Hope Charter School called “PS7″ was named? Legend has it the “PS” was derived from the  Phoenix Suns basketball team name, and the #7 was based on Mayor Kevin Johnson’s  number while he played in the NBA. I discovered this urban legend [...]
