To be fair, In Ashby's case Lewis Investment owns Natomas Town Center in her district. the rest are friends, not special interests, unlike the others...not that I am supporting her, she will have to prove she is not owned by the SPOA and firefighters union. We need someone willing to cut their pensions and salaries, public employees are bankrupting our City.
