Early morning interviews....

I got up early and made some telephone calls for the capaign finance story. I believe I woke up District 3 Candidate Greg Higley. He was nice enough to do an interview over the telephone. He is 50, has lived in Elk Grove since 1997, and says if elected, he would work to reduce the crime levels, eliminate homelessness in the city, and restructure the city's taxes.
"The tax structure in the city is out of control," Higley said.
I also was able to reach District 3 Candidate Steve Detrick while he was driving to work, and yes, he said he was obeying the new hands-free cell phone law.
Detrick said he has about 10 major donors lined up for his run to unseat incumbent Mike Leary. He plans to use his campaign money to get a lot of signs, and to print fliers to be mailed and handed out in person during his precinct walks. He said telephone voicemails to thousands of registered voters would be a "major" aspect of his campaign spending.
