Devin -- I want to echo Ronald West's comment. I think if articles are being published by the Democratic Party, there should be a note at the bottom indicating that. I'd expect that of any political group. The reader needs to know the source. To attribute the article to one individual masks the inherent bias. I would say the same if the Republican Party or any other political party began posting news items here. I'm not saying I don't appreciate the information--I'm just saying I want to know where it came from so I can evaluate it accordingly. Remember how much flak Steve Maviglio got for posting political articles here without disclosing his affiliation?

Yes, I agree...SacPress needs to have a policy about businesses that attempt to pass off advertising as an article. This is not the only business doing this. It's unethical and annoying to readers looking to this site for local news. SP - please remove fake articles (farticles?)!

Good article! These SSF events have been great. I'm impressed that this group has gotten some great speakers and has kept these forums free of charge.

Beerzie, you summed it up perfectly. I can't imagine eating at a Hard Rock Cafe when there are so many excellent restaurants downtown. When I heard it was closing, my first thought was "Huh? That place was still in business?" It didn't even make my dining out radar.

Well, so much for the recommendations of the Charter Review Committee. I believe that was a truly collaborative process that actually involved input from Sacramento citizens.
