From the City of Sacramento web site of Ray Tretheway:
“Welcome to my web page! It is an honor to serve as your Sacramento City Council representative for Alkali Flat, Downtown, Richards Boulevard, South Natomas, North Gate, and North [...]

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 [...]

Today it is being reported that California has jumped on the lawsuit bandwagon, and officially filed suit against the Goliath of mortgage brothels, one Countrywide Bank, for what it calls deceptive practices in lending. The state accuses The Country (ahem) of lowering its lending standards to sell homes to any old Tom, Dick or Mary [...]

Even through the thick smoke the flowers still smell lovely. Asiatic Lillies are my favorite. I bought a gorgeous budding bouquet for my wife at Raley’s over the weekend.

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..

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”; [...]

I went shopping at a small retail store earlier today and had an interesting conversation with an affable 20 year old employee there (I’ll call him Ron). Our conversation was centered around recreational activities, and he shared with me that when he was in high school he served alongside Heather Fargo on a committee [...]

The Plumbers and Pipefitters Union 447 put out another despicable hit piece on Kevin Johnson. The headline was hilariously ironic “A storm of controversy has engulfed Kevin Johnson..” Maybe, but that aint nothing like the flood of water that is going to engulf Natomas if the levee breaks!
In her state of the city address she [...]
