As Mayor, Carmen Sabatino did not raise water rates because it was not necessary, balanced four budgets, spent less than city revenues, collected past due developer fees, cut $90 thousand dollars a year in newspaper advertising, and used the money to provide for public safety.  How about that!

To Todd Aaronson, it must have seemed like the perfect storm, with prevailing winds in his favor. For months on end he’d used his expertise at marketing to take the pulse and temperature of Modesto’s District Three, the bloc carved out by the City’s decision to adopt district elections. He’d acquired an “A” list of endorsements no one else could hope to match. Best of all, his opponent wasn’t an incumbent, at least not in the usual sense.

You are invited to join with City Council Candidate Carmen Sabatino tomorrow, Saturday, for good food, music and fellowship.

If the City of Modesto had matched the $15 million dollar gift to the Gallo Performing Arts by Stanislaus County and Ray Simon, they would not be facing financial problems.

How do you feel?

Judy Sly has too much to apologize for

Her resignation would be beneficial for the community and McClatchy

The author of the letter below does not know any better but opinion editor Judy Sly is not “civil” by her own words.

Memo to Judy Sly
