As you may know, I announced an exciting new reform package this morning.
The new package combines key aspects of the strong mayor initiative (SMI) with the additional ideas proposed by Council Members, the Charter Review Commission, and the public. The goal is to create a collaborative reform package that incorporates input from all sides and has broad appeal among the council and public.
You can read more specifics about the package below.
Our next step is to discuss this proposal with Council. We’ll start at tonight’s meeting, and continue the discussion in the next two weeks.
However, we have to act quickly. Now is the best opportunity for real reform to get our city back on track. This modified proposal is the result of 13 months of listening to input from Council, the Charter Review Committee and the Sacramento community. The time to act is now; Sacramento cannot afford to wait. If we wait, true reform will be watered down by special interests and those mired in the “status quo” will stop at nothing to paralyze the process.
Here’s how you can help:
1. Attend tonight’s council meeting. Bring along three friends and arrive at City Hall (915 I Street) at 6:00 PM.
2. Call and email the Council Members urging them to consider this new proposal.
In a short window of time, we can make history for our city. Let’s get started!
