If one wants to see a lackey of the police and fire unions performs on the council, exam the totally unspectacular record of Lauren Hammond. If you admire what she failed to accomplish, then vote for Ashby. Personally, given that the police and fire unions are bankrupting cities and counties across the country an endorsement by these unions is an automatic endorsement of the opponent.

Reading the featured comment I suspect the writer has never been to Union Station in LA. It is several city BLOCKS to reach many of the trains and millions of folks make the trek every day. If the tracks are not straightened out..high speed rail will never extend to Sacramento.

Just what we need on the council another neighborhood activist trying to gin up support from a racial group. Don't we have 8 of those already on the council? What we need on the council on individuals who will actually represent the city as a whole, not some special interest, regardless of how noble the press release sounds..

The students should be demonstrating outside every prison and jail...that is where the money is gone... Running around on campus is preaching to the choir. They need to confront the prison guard union for the pigs they are...

Is this that radio station that calls Modesto home every time it gets a national airing of a news story?? Whenever CPR wants to return to Sacramento, they will be welcome, until then I listen to KQEI.
