I find the energy being put into this effort to be a waste for both sides. Our economy is in terrible shape and all of this effort should be channeled into growing and expanding local businesses.

The Grange may be great for out of towners, but for an authentic local food experience, she really should've looked at Mulvaney's. Patrick Mulvaney changes it up daily, and brings in tons of local produce and meat that highlights what many locals take for granted. Good point, though, David about the limited eating on Sunday. A coffee and a ham and cheese croissant at Old Soul would've held her over and given her fuel for the bike ride.

Mr. West: I checked your Sacramento Press profile to give you the benefit of the doubt before I commented. Just to set the record straight, you haven't identified yourself as the mayor's brother in any of the stories you've commented on. It'd be nice if you set up your profile for full disclosure. Here's a link: http://www.sacramentopress.com/user/RonaldWest. SM has a great one-line disclosure on his page: http://www.sacramentopress.com/user/StevenMaviglio.

Do you work for Johnson? Identify your occupation and/or interest in this issue, and give readers a reason to listen to your opinions.

This frustrates me as well. I'd at least like to see some of the enforcement money go back in to help pay for more frequent street cleaning, especially in areas where they make you dump your green waste in the street. The logic escapes me.
