Trying to help in Sacramento


Once again it was time for the Sacramento Legislative Tour, where elected officials lobby the legislators and hope that they don't do too much damage to local governments with their takings policies. In the above picture, Helen, Dad, Mom, Erin, and Margaret are pictured with Sam Olivito from the California Contract Cities Association. The Governator was supposed to show for the reception but was behind closed doors with The Big Five, trying to figure out how to handle the 42 billion dollar budget deficit.

Margaret is pictured with fellow councilmember, Lois Gaston, and City Manager, Darrell George in front of the Capitol building where they spent the day with Senators and Assembly members.
