Save Sacramento

Join us at the next city council meeting

February 16, 2010
Sacramento City Hall, 915 I Street
Meeting begins 6:00 p.m.
Meet outside Council Chambers 5:30 p.m.

After losing in Court twice trying to impose a “Strong Mayor” system on Sacramento city government, Mayor Kevin Johnson is trying another end-run around the process.

He's introduced a new, hastily prepared proposal that radically changes the City charter and is demanding the City Council ratify it in time to place it on the June 8th ballot.

Tell the Mayor to get down to business and focus on the issues we care about – like fixing the projected $40 million shortfall in the city's budget, NOT continuing to push a measure that makes significant revisions to the City charter with no public debate or community input.
