Also, she, like almost all politicians who have been in office too long, have gone over to the Dark Side and no longer represent the desires and values of citizens of this city. She now only represents what SHE feels is best for this city, and her cronies make a living off her being in office, and that’s exactly why she needs to go. She is now nothing but a political hack who is trying to hang onto power on behalf of the cronies that put her in office.

I would bet that if KJ did not run for office, she wouldn’t be running for a third term. The Sacramento powers that put her in office would have supported another insider that they could control, but her being an incumbent unfortunatly gives her a distinct advantage over KJ.

KJ may not be perfect, but he does represent change and represents breaking up of Sacramento’s good ol boy power structure. If he ends up sucking, we can kisk his ass out in four years. I for one believe we need to give him a chance to put his actions where his mouth is.

And while we are at it, we need to get rid of EVERY current council member when they are up for election.

For those of you who want to vote for status quo and Fargo, I say please skip this election if you are unwilling to vote for KJ, you are part of the reason our country is in the shape it is in today, you are unwilling to break up the power structures in Washington and in Sacramento; go stick your head in the sand while the rest of us work to for real change.

Fraud behind water meters

Daniel W/Sacbee: “Crime has also been dropping in San Diego and San Jose, the state’s No. 2 and No. 3 cities in terms of population. In San Jose, a city of nearly 1 million people, the murder rate is one-fourth what it is in Sacramento. The rate for rapes is about 60 percent that of the capital, the robbery rate is 25 percent as high as it is here and the assault rate is about one-third as high as Sacramento. I pressed Fargo to speculate about what might explain the difference.

“We do have a lot of immigrants,” she said..

Contrast this against her recent interview with Inside East Sacramento this month where she cited “diversity” as being the city’s greatest strength. : Joe reaches for Advil :

My question is…does anyone really believe KJ can do any better? (I mean, come on, the guy’s under a federal investigation, St Hope has had more scandals than successes, etc. etc.)

I hate to vote with a sense of doom, but that’s what I’ll be doing this time. For Fargo. Um. Yay.

DMZ – You forget the “3-S” cardinal rule of politics and sex – If both participants are straight, single and sexy, no one cares.

If a far greater city like SF can’t produce a mayor without glaring deficiencies (to his credit, Newsom also has plusses. But so does Fargo)., then why should we bitch and moan about Sac’s candidates?

What did ya’ll think of El Patron?

A) She’s nuts and/or out of touch, and should not get our support.

OR

B) She’s right and willing to say things that are unpopular but technically true, and therefore should get our support.

So what do the numbers say? Let’s see, shall we?
