This Tuesday the City Council will recommend the preservation and restoration of the Fred Mayes Jewelers' Street Clock at the corner of 10th and J Street.

The new City of Sacramento General Plan includes additional Sacramento River crossings without specifying the location or number of crossings or the transportation modes served by new crossings. The cost of the study will be $260,000 with both The City of Sacramento and the City of West Sacramento sharing the costs for the planning study with West Sacramento contributing $60,000 to that total.

A contract for construction could begin as early as June 2011 and continue work through the summer. The Theater will remain open

I hear a lot of complaining here from people in a State that has affordable collage education when compared to the rest of the country.

In theory it has financial backing but there are many holes in this plan that no one has addressed. Who's gonna pay for building the new State Fair grounds next to Arco? That alone will cost more than a hundred million dollars. Will the Maloof's pay the city back the $70 million they owe them? That's just two sticking points that together will cost over $200 million.

Hanneman must think he can still fool all of the people all of the time... well the gig is up. That Grand Jury report has put an end to the department’s sneaky ways.

Communism can take over if the system collapses under enormous debt and the Cloward-Piven strategy pushes forward with destructive policies. Are we to BIG to fail? Of course not.
