A coalition of business and community leaders, Labor, and the Democratic Party of Sacramento County announced today that they are joining together to preserve and protect Sacramento’s community-oriented government structure and stop the poorly-drafted, so called Strong-Mayor initiative that, if passed, would give Sacramento a Boss instead of a mayor. The coalition will use the name SAVE Sacramento, an acronym forSupport Accountability, Voice, and Ethics in Sacramento.
You can go here to sign their petitition and to keep updated on how to make your opinion known on this issue. Don't let this get railroaded through! We do have the power to make sure that KJ isn't given more power than any other mayor in California.

no comments? did you guys sign the petition? what do you think? this seems pretty exciting to me.
I signed it last week...I post about it all the time on Sacramento Press. The latest on there is a hit piece criticizing those who oppose the Strong Mayor Initiative written by the obviously entirely objective Ronald West, AKA "the mayor's brother-in-law."
Signed.
Regardless of the outcome, I'm hoping that SAVE Sacramento's momentum can translate to a campaign for a replacement. Let's get this nightmare in the making over ASAP. Without term limits, we could keep having to endure the same old tired attempt at this power grab every two years or so.
