Hot off the presses. Abridged with fun edits and a timeless quote at the end.

Watch here if it doesn’t load

I used to oppose Johnson’s strong arm mayor initiative. But then two things became clear to me : 1) The lion’s share of the people opposing Johnson’s efforts hate him so much he could never do right by them anyway; 2) Johnson is only 1/8th of the problem.

“Well, I didn’t ask them what they want me to do cause I’ve never asked people what they wanted me to do or how they wanted me to vote” (!!)  -Sacramento City Council doorstop Rob Fong when asked if he talked to voters prior to imposing economic sanctions on economy ravaged Arizona residents and small [...]

War Chest Dilemma

Ray sits with his staffers and an unidentified woman wearing a bonnet over her head in a cafe somewhere in downtown Sacramento. The woman’s name has been redacted from our transcripts.
Staffer: Sir you have approximately $82,000 in your campaign war chest. How do you want to spend it?

“Finish what you started Sacramento; vote Ashby in and vote the rest of Heather Fargo out!”
“He let one side of [...]

Well the Sacramento city council election is a little over a month away and I wanted to see what Angelique Ashby had to say about her candidacy. I have never met Angelique Ashby in person, although we have corresponded via email for almost two years now.  In this article I have added a few observations [...]

I gotta give it to Mayor Kevin Johnson: When he puts his mind to something, he barrels down the track like a runaway locomotive, plowing through everything and everyone in his way. That would explain his rise to the top of the professional sports ladder, as well as his success last night in getting five [...]

You gotta give it to him. Unlike countless politicians before him, Mayor Kevin Johnson has fulfilled his campaign promises. He  has done precisely what he said he was going to do; he has “put Sacramento on the map.”  In fact, after the latest national KJ headline grabber involving the Obama firing of the IG’s Gerald [...]
