The Conversation: Strong-mayor debate is a chance to examine other possibilities - Sacramento Opinion - Sacramento Editorial Sacramento Bee:

"What would be your argument for changing Sacramento's form of city government? To comment on this issue, please see our forum.

You can call it 'strong mayor' or 'governance reform.' Whatever you call it, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson's proposal for revamping the power of his office would be the biggest change in governance in the city's history.

In any city, it's a good thing to periodically ask fundamental questions and re-examine old ways of doing things."
