I'm on the SAVE Sacramento mailing list, and they sent me this email about the city council meeting tonight. It was formatted nicely in the email, but not when I copied it. The point is that if you think that the strong mayor issue should be fully considered rather than rushed onto the ballot that you should make your opinion known, either by going to the meeting tonight, or calling or writing your city councilperson. Maybe I'll call Steve Cohn today.
Join us at the next city council meeting After losing in Court twice trying to impose a “Strong Mayor” system on Sacramento city government, Mayor Kevin Johnson is trying another end-run around the process.He's introduced a new, hastily prepared proposal that radically changes the City charter and is demanding the City Council ratify it in time to place it on the June 8th ballot.Tell the Mayor to get down to business and focus on the issues we care about – like fixing the projected $40 million shortfall in the city's budget, NOT continuing to push a measure that makes significant revisions to the City charter with no public debate or community input.Join us at the next city council meeting...February 16, 2010Sacramento City Hall, 915 I StreetMeeting begins 6:00 p.m.Meet outside Council Chambers 5:30 p.m.Parking: Metered parking available around City Hall.City Hall parking lot is between 10th and 11th, off I Street.andCall or email the Mayor & your Councilmember today and tell them how you feel…Mayor Kevin Johnson – 808-5300 www.cityofsacramento.org/mayor/forms/emailCommentForm/ Dist. 1 Councilmember, Ray Tretheway: 808-7001 rtretheway@cityofsacramento.orgDist. 2 Councilmember, Sandy Sheedy: 808-7002 ssheedy@cityofsacramento.orgDist. 3 Councilmember, Steve Cohn: 808-7003 scohn@cityofsacramento.orgDist. 4 Councilmember, Rob Fong: 808-7004 rkfong@cityofsacramento.orgDist. 5 Councilmember, Lauren Hammond: 808-7005 lhammond@cityofsacramento.orgDist. 6 Councilmember, Kevin McCarty: 808-7006 KMcCarty@cityofsacramento.orgDist. 7 Councilmember, Robbie Waters: 808-7007 rwaters@cityofsacramento.orgDist. 8 Councilmember, Bonnie Pannell: 808-7008 bpannell@cityofsacramento.orgFor more information call 484-3732 or go to www.savesac.com

Funny headline about Miller!

I really wish I was brave enough to go to City Council, but seriously those people fill me with such hatred, I can't stand it. They have made up their minds when they get there (except for maybe Rob Fong)so really the citizen's don't have any input at all. Anyway, I emailed Lauren Hammond, like she will care.

KJ announced this morning that he's not going to push for it to get onto the June 8th ballot. This guy is such a mess! He only announced it 6 days ago. Now he said he wants to get it on the November ballot, which is much more sensible.
Lauren Hammond sucks. She's the only city council member I've e-mailed that never e-mails back, not even a form e-mail. And now she is running for state assembly.

Hopefully Hammond's replacement on the city council will be better; it would be hard to do worse.
So far the candidates' websites I've checked out have been fairly useless. Of course everyone wants to help kids, reduce crime, etc., but I've found no concrete information or opinions on current city activities.
