Sacramento journalist R.E. Graswich is not sad to leave his 37-year journalism career for a new job as special assistant to Mayor Kevin Johnson. “I figure I got one last shot in life here to do something worthwhile as opposed to what you guys do,” he joked while addressing reporters Tuesday. Graswich, 54, left a 35-year career at The Sacramento Bee in 2007. In the two years following his departure from the Bee, he took up “wonderful chances” to work as a co-anchor at KFBK and commentator at ...

LOL! When is the mayor going to let RE wear his Hawaiian shirts? C'mon KJ, lighten up! Seriously, this was the fairest and most interesting story I've read on Graswich in the mayor's office. Joe Sacramento's takes are way off base and filled with animosity and the Bee is just laughable when it comes to covering the mayor. The story it had questioning volunteerism at city hall was an abomination. Good job Sac Press!
