SCUSD to Meet with Residents In Lincoln Village Sacramento City Unified School District (SCUSD), which includes the schools of Abe Lincoln, AM Winn, Einstein, and Rosemont, has been facing serious budget problems this year. The district has already cut over $20 million from this year's budget and may be looking at mid-year cuts of up to $30 million more.

Congratulations Megan and all the other winners.

Very cool Katie. I'm now going to visit the Sutter National Wildlife Refuge based on your recommendation. The Sacramento region has so many great natural resources like the Sutter National Wildlife Refuge and the American River Parkway we all should take some time to just visit and experience them. It can be very relaxing too.

The Kings are definitely are in a rebuilding year, however there are some glimmers of a great young nucleus of talented players. If these guys can continue to work hard and develop their teamwork there's no reason they couldn't be very competitive. After a couple years of disappointment I've finally begun watching Kings games again. The Purple Pride is back. It's also intriguing that there doesn't seem to be one clear star player. The starters all seem fairly balanced. This team could be like so many great teams of the past with good chemistry and teamwork, they'll be tough to beat because there is not one player other teams can focus their attention on and shut down.

Not true. Mather Commerce Center and the Mather Airport is the West coast shipping hub for UPS, DHL, and Fedex. There are planes flying in and out every day with thousands of packages. There is also a passenger commercial airport at Mather which sees a lot of commuter traffic especially for corporations like Intel.

Ben Ilfeld said, "However, the interesting thing is that our community actually uncovered these affiliations in the conversation, not us. If we give one person the job to screen then we take power away from our community and give it to someone in our office. That person is fallible and will undoubtedly make mistakes." I agree completely. Reporting the news is a process and part of the process is the community of readers needs to add their insights and additional information to complete the picture. It's exactly what happens between journalists at different publications so why not between contributors of the same publication. The community vets the information being presented. As far as how to alleviate the issues of false information begin spread by suspect sources. How about badges, individual ratings, and verified identity. The badges would reveal if this person is a Community Contributor, Staff Writer, Editor etc. The ratings would be based on the thumbs up/down on stories and comments compiled site-wide. Get bad comment or story ratings and your overall rating will be poor. At least would give readers a gauge to measure by. The identity verification could be a process requested by Community Contributors to add credibility. Simple enough, Community Contributor answers some additional questions to confirm their identity and a staff member verifies. Provide a verified identity badge to add trust to the source.
