Strong mayor proposal in Sacramento city council hot seat tonight


Strong mayor proposal in Sacramento city council hot seat tonight

So I hear the panel commissioned to explore charter reform for the mayor’s seat has determined it’s a good idea to give the mayor a few more goats, but not the deed to the farm. That will apparently be the topic of a two hour agenda item in tonight’s session. Sounds reasonable to me.

After the commission reports to the council, I challenge Mayor Johnson to rescind his strong mayor proposal, and accept the commission’s recommendations 100%. If ever there was an extraordinary opportunity for the Mayor to get humble and establish himself as a servant leader, TONIGHT is it! It would take extreme humility, but he could pull it off with a bit of courage and strong faith.
