Sacramento business owners, developers back Kerridge - Sacramento City News - sacbee.com


Sacramento business owners, developers back Kerridge - Sacramento City News - sacbee.com:

"Sacramento's business leaders love the job City Manager Ray Kerridge is doing. They aren't so sure about the City Council.

A letter signed by nearly 60 developers and business owners will be delivered today to Mayor Kevin Johnson and the City Council expressing support for Kerridge and concern that 'petty politics' on the council will hinder the city's drive out of economic turmoil.

The letter was the product of a closed-door meeting last week called by members of the business community.

They expressed concerns that a recent city building department scandal and infighting within the City Council would result in the reversal of city development policies designed to streamline development."
