I would have to agree with you view, this does seem to take the form of a rant and not an article. I would recommend the author attend a course or at least have the article reviewed by a staffer before posting. I have had articles posted for different reasons, so I know things like this are done. Isn't it interesting that a "rant" can get on without review... John Day 2010-04-06T20:21:26Z John Day comment-21472 2010-01-30T00:38:52Z 2010-01-30T00:38:52Z LET'S HELP OUT! ANY DONATION WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. John Day 2010-01-30T00:38:52Z John Day comment-10027 2009-06-30T11:02:37Z 2009-06-30T11:02:37Z Wouldn't that be nice! There is something to be said for having the trucks and others come through at a reasonable hour - like after 9 am when most of us are at work... imagine that.

Increase police visibility and fire safety. When was the last time Sacramento was awarded some title? Any title? The other real goal to reach is making Public transit safe, fun and practical - why don't we have horse drawn trolleys or a bus system that runs every 5 min? How about cleaning up the place? There is nothing pretty about our roadways. Safety is key. Sports are nice, but promotion will not come without safety.

Is there something to do that benefits everyone? Do the police have help from the neighbors in protecting themselves? What is there to see that is not dirty? What is there to do besides shop and eat? Not kidding. I don't venture down there for safety reasons. There is really nothing to see or do. The prices are sky high. Parking is terrible. There is no horse drawn anything down there. The transit system does not run every 5 min. If you take the light rail, you will get mugged - since there is no police on board and no one helps you. Why or why would I spend my hard earned money in a nasty place? Parking, no. Traffic, Yes. Bums o plenty. Disgusting smelly and not a thing to do. No place to have a picnic. Nothing smells good. Friendly, no. Why o why would I spend 5 minutes down there. Sorry folks, the reality is there is no reason to go to Sac, unless you live in the area. Get everything done online and enjoy the pleasant time away from downtown.

They already know what is going to happen." Finally, " what's the point, nothing is ever going to change!" I agree - please, please don't get out there and vote.

We are involved in 2 wars - whether you agree or not - and have many folks who in the coming years will need some help and support. This is a fact. We are not prepared. The Feds are not planning for this - so we will be "Surprised" when the time comes. It is always amazing how we Don't PLAN; I think we like surprises, or drama or something.

Until the RT runs every 10 min during commuter times and brings folks from the outside this is just bally hoo. go get 'em Mr. politician. Don't think, just act.

I am sure there will be someone tying this up in court or there will be a collection nightmare, but I wish everyone the best of luck. John Day 2009-04-14T17:08:13Z John Day comment-6096 2009-04-14T16:43:26Z 2009-04-14T16:43:26Z I would have to agree that most of the issue lies with training and education. I understand what the officer is saying, but I don't agree. I think the best thing the officers could do is help educate and understand that we started off defending ourselves - the only person we have to worry about is the people who don't follow the same rules. That being said, I think the Officers could help themselves and the county as well, offering classes and having inspections of folks who have made the purchases. I would be interested in seeing this come into play and think that we could help ourselves by helping ourselves. Add items, like a lower tolerance for drinking and handguns - similar to Big Rig drivers. I think that there is a solution, but most of the time - the folks in Law enforcement need to error on the side of the overly cautious. I don't like it, but I am in favor of helping it change.

After hearing what you said last night and after reading your article, I may actually take a bus to see what it is like. Again, Great Job.

I am looking forward to the day they create something that helps us in a Micro Niche. Like how to hire consultants and contractors - not just the guys who remodel our homes - the other contractors out there. I am also interested in finding out how to obtain grants or learning about bidding items from our local govt.

I am not a writer, yet I felt as though I might have a chance. Holly, you were really an inspiration. Colleen - you are an absolute angel. Your help and encouragement demonstrated your professionalism. I can't wait to read about our community. John Day 2009-04-10T06:03:18Z
