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, [...]

No free lunch? The comedy hour at Sacramento city hall is still free of charge every Tuesday night

By Joe • Oct 22nd, 2008 | Bookmark and Share

Updated 10/23/08 @ 10:40am.
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 [...]

Forget the audit, the problem with Sacramento is the City Council

By Joe • Oct 15th, 2008 | Bookmark and Share

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 [...]

Dear Brenda

By Joe • Oct 10th, 2008 | Bookmark and Share

A fellow community member sent a great email to members of a  neighborhood association list I subscribe to. In it she opined that more residents must get involved in their communities in order for change to occur. I responded to her with my theory as to why more people don’t get involved. Of course my [...]

Schwarzenegger clears way for Sac Town “Docks” project, but Poopnear Reservoir a stinking point

By Joe • Oct 5th, 2008 | Bookmark and Share

I went to a “town hall” meeting featuring mayoral hopeful KJ in Natomas a few weeks ago. I recall Johnson saying he didn’t think Sacramento had done a good job developing along its rivers. How Portland and other cities have done a far better job. Take San Antonio for example, said Kevin, to the delight [...]

The California State Fair isn’t the only place offering a haven for amusement lovers this summer

By Joe • Aug 14th, 2008 | Bookmark and Share

Forget the State Fair; if the Sacramento City Hall starts selling deep fried zucchini and Texas style bbq rib sandwiches, I just may take my family THERE this summer to see the circus.
Who could resist? With Heather Fargo, Ray Tretheway, Lauren Hammond and others in our illustrious city council shamefully attempting to [...]

Roger Dickinson and friends take a notably sour turn after anti-gang tax concoction fails

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

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 [...]

When the bullet hits the bone: 2008 summer in Natomas turning out to be a bloody one

By Joe • Jul 28th, 2008 | Bookmark and Share

You scream, I scream, we ALL scream: “GUN!!!!”
Wonder if Fargo, Dickinson, and Marcos Breton’s super duper new anti-gang tax would have prevented any of these crimes?
I’m pretty sure all these new crimes reported by the PD all occurred in Natomas–or at least in that general vicinity. I have not included a slew of other [...]

Sacramento Bee article on Natomas low income housing and crime echoes Joe Sac articles

By Joe • Jul 22nd, 2008 | Bookmark and Share

Note: Revised. I sent the editor of the Bee, Melanie Sill, an email and thanked her for the article about Natomas low income housing. I DO appreciate the coverage, regardless of my impatience and frustration about Natomas issues, and what I perceive to be negligence on the city government’s part (some of which they have [...]
