UPDATED APRIL 20:
It is with sadness I report that the Citizen staff is working on a story about another dog rampage. This attack by two American Bulldogs left - from what we've been told by witnesses - three pets dead: two dogs and a cat. Citizen Staff Writer Cameron Macdonald is working on a story for the Wednesday issue of the Citizen. More to come as this story develops.

Do people read these things we call blogs?
Sometimes I wonder. Today, a friend of mine from far, far away sent me a message. He asked about John Danielson's pay and how the story was going. I was surprised. Not because he is a good buddy and he is interested in what I am working on; but that he paid attention to the story of high-priced executives. And, he was reading this blog without me knowing. I don't track "hits" or visits to this site. If you're here, I hope you find it factual and accurate and pertinent. It was nice of mon ami to comment on the site. Merci, Beaucoup!!!!

Delays in executive pay series
The Citizen's planned executive pay story is still in the works. Its publication has been delayed due to several factors - a reduced staff as well as staffers unexpectedly being out sick for repeated days. Look for the next update in a future edition of the Citizen.

Executive Pay Series Update
The Citizen's series of stories examining executive pay for public officials in Elk Grove will continue on Wednesday, April 8. The Citizen news staff has made numerous public records requests for documents from the city of Elk Grove, the Cosumnes Community Services District, and the Elk Grove Joint Unified School District. These requests sometimes take time to be processed, assessed, and information returned to a news organization.
In order to paint a fuller picture of this issue, a story originally intended to be published on April 1 is being re-scheduled in order to include recently received data from the CCSD and also to add more comments from local officials.
Officials with the city of Elk Grove were quick to release requested pay data for several top executives, including city manager and assistant city manager; the city attorney and two other attorneys working in her office; and others officials. CCSD officials released pay for their top management team. The Citizen is still awaiting information from the EGUSD on pay for the superintendent and numeous assistant superintendents.

Danielson pay controversy briefly addressed by council
By Jeff Forward
Citizen Staff Writer
When a niche newsletter focused on public employee pay revealed that former city manger John Danielson received the equivalent of $4.8 million in compensation for his work with the city, the issue instantly became a hot one in Elk Grove.
Wednesday night, March 25, the Elk Grove City Council briefly discussed the issue, making comments about the controversy before the meeting moved onto other business.
Elk Grove Vice Mayor Sophia Scherman spoke last on the issue, saying that her comments about the issue that she made during a television news appearance on Channel 13 broadcast on March 18 were “not taped in whole” and her whole statement was not broadcast.
Scherman, who voted for Danielson’s repeated contract amendments and upgrades, has been on the city council since Elk Grove was incorporated in 2000.
Fellow City Council Member Steve Detrick has called for an intensive forensic financial investigation of the current and former contracts of city executive staff, and has vowed that he won’t allow something similar happen again.
While other council members such as Detrick, and Council Member Jim Cooper, have decried Danielson’s compensation, Scherman has for the most part been silent on the issue; refusing to comment for an Elk Grove Citizen article published on March 18.
On Wednesday night, Scherman asked her supporters and others to not misinterpret her comments on the TV interview; but she wouldn’t apologize for signing off on Danielson’s repeated requests during his time as city manager from 2001 until 2008.
“I’m not apologizing to you for what I did,” Scherman said. “I did it in the best interest of the city. I apologize if you’re hurt.”
Before she finished, Scherman also said the council can look into it the issue, but that, “I don’t suspect we can do anything.”
For more comments from the city council, view the video or listen to audio at the city’s Web site, www.elkgrovecity.org. The Citizen’s continuing coverage of executive pay in Elk Grove continues on April 1 with an examination of the current pay of the top executives at the city of Elk Grove.
The Citizen has also made California Public Records requests to the Cosumnes Community Services District as well as the Elk Grove Unified School District seeking all details, records, and contracts of top administrators.

There are no ulterior motives behind staff reductions...
I hope I can set the record straight here: our current lay-offs at the Elk Grove Citizen have absolutely nothing to do with the John Danielson executive pay and compensation piece published in the Wednesday, March 18th issue of the Citizen.
Our newspaper and our parent company, Herburger Publications, Inc., are just like every other news organization across the nation - we're facing tough times. I am not here to fool you. It's true and thankfully, our cuts have been limited. In the past several months, our company has had to make some lay-offs in a few different departments.
I was informed by Publisher David Herburger several weeks ago that he had to adjust to the current economic climate and the loss of advertising revenue and assess our staffing levels; that was if he possibly had to make any lay-offs. We all hoped for the best, but did not know what to expect.
Unfortunately, at the end of that assessment, a lay-off in the Citizen editorial staff was made. It is a very unfortunate situation to be in; and I can firmly say that when these types of moves are made, it is done with the utmost responsibility and care and concern for any employee who may be laid-off or let go due to the poor economic climate.
Nobody wants to be in these positions and another unfortunate aspect of this lay-off was that it was timed to coincide with the publication of what has become a controversial story in the community - the amount of compensation received by former Elk Grove city manager John Danielson.
I would like to stress one thing: our staff reductions had absolutely nothing to do with this article or any reaction or response to it. It is purely unlucky coincidence that these two incidents happened in the same week.
I hope that this post - and an opinion piece to be published in the March 25 edition of the Citizen - will put an end to the untrue, false rumors spreading around the online community and Elk Grove.

"City Beat" blog removed from web
The blog "City Beat" that was formerly maintained by Citizen Staff Writer Gamaliel Ortiz has been removed from the web. Ortiz authored the blog - covering the Elk Grove political scene - under supervision of the Citizen editorial staff/management and Publisher David Herburger. Ortiz eventually stopped using the blog and switched his blog coverage to another site - still linked on left - which is available online at this time.

Staff reductions at Elk Grove Citizen
March 20, 2009
Elk Grove, Calif.
Herburger Publications, Inc., owner of the Elk Grove Citizen, has announced staff reductions at the Citizen to adjust to the current economy.
The Elk Grove Citizen - like all newspapers and news organizations across the United States - is facing difficult times due to the poor economy.
In light of those challenges, the Citizen and HPI have made a variety of lay-offs in different areas of production over the past few months, including the loss of a news reporter at the Elk Grove Citizen.
The reporter - Bobby Wilson, hired in mid-December, 2008 - covered city government and politics.
Despite having to reduce staff at the Citizen, the management of HPI firmly believes in the value of reporting local city government news and coverage of the politics beat is still a high priority.
The city government and local politics beats will be jointly covered by the remaining Citizen staff writers - Cameron Macdonald and Katie Freeman, with supplemental reporting by Writer Fran Soto from sister newspaper The River Valley Times.
The Citizen will also be joining forces on a more regular basis with sister newspapers The River Valley Times, based in Wilton, as well as the Galt Herald, to bring South Sacramento regional news to readers of each publication and also share resources and reporting on common issues.
Citizen Editor Jeff Forward said false rumors circulating in online forums theorizing about the reason for staffing changes were untrue.
"The publication of a story about John Danielson's pay had absolutely no bearing in any decision to reduce staffing levels at the Elk Grove Citizen," Forward said in a press release. "The management has been assessing staffing levels for several months; and when the need to make changes became more pressing, appropriate reductions were made."
"Despite these unfortunate, but necessary changes, the Citizen reporting team will still be doggedly covering the story of executive pay at the city of Elk Grove, the Cosumnes Community Services District, and the Elk Grove Unified School District," Forward added.

Newsletter reveals details on Danielson pay
Elk Grove Citizen Reporter Bobby Wilson has written an article to be published in the Wednesday, March 18, edition of the Elk Grove Citizen about the compensation package given to former Elk Grove city manager John Danielson. The article, in a niche newsletter that focuses on public employee pay issues, was written by former Capitol Weekly reporter and publisher Ken Mandler and details how Danielson was compensated the equivalent of more than $746,000 per year when all was said and done.

Election 2008: Follow Up Part 1
This is the first in a multi-article series to be published online at egcitizen.com and on this blog. Stories will also be published in the print edition of the Elk Grove Citizen.
Council Finances: Mike Leary, the only incumbent to lose, brought in a lot of donations as he sought re-election.
Elk Grove City Council Member Mike Leary, who lost his bid for re-election to the District 3 seat on Nov 4, received $9,500 in donations from Oct. 27 through election day, Nov. 4.
The donations came from as far away as Watsonville and included area development power Angelo Tsakopoulos.
Leary received first received $1,000 on Oct. 27 from Granite Construction Company, a company specializing in highway building and also underground tunnels. The firm has a Sacramento Branch located on Bradshaw Road.
The company's main Web site touts itself with this description: "Incorporated in 1922, Granite Construction Company builds roads, tunnels, bridges, airports and other infrastructure-related projects used by millions of people. In addition, Granite produces sand, gravel, ready-mix and asphalt concrete and other construction materials. Unusual among large contractors, Granite handles both large and small jobs through its two operating divisions, Granite East and Granite West."
On Oct 28, Leary received a donation of $2,500 from the California Real Estate Political Action Committee, which follows these bylaws guiding political donations.
On Election Day, Nov. 4, Leary received more donations - including $5,000 from Angelo G. Tsakopoulos Real Estate Investments, based in Carmicheal; and also $1,000 from Sharif's Jewelers #1, on Howe Avenue in Sacramento.
Leary really increased his campaign donations as the election neared.
From Oct. 1, 2008, through Oct. 18, 2008, Leary raked in a massive $42,825 in donations. Comparatively, he received $35,099 in donations from the period beginning July 1, 2008 and ending Sept. 30, 2008 according to campaign documents Leary filed with the city of Elk Grove.

Working on Friday's Citizen....
I am editing and finishing up work on the Citizen's election spectacular, which will be published on Friday. Election results will be posted asap on Wednesday (i.e. today) on our Web site, egcitizen.com
I am not sure if I will tele-commute this morning for a bit; or I will sleep an hour or two and then go into the office to finalize the Friday edition. I have sent out e-mail messages to many city council candidates seeking more commentary and trying to set up interviews for follow-up coverage of the election.
I want to pass on a huge congratulations and thanks for the hard work to our staff at the Citizen. Cameron Macdonald, Gamaliel Ortiz, Keith Gebers, Linda Le Park, Keri Wood, Laura Bemis, and myself combined to do some really solid work as a team to give our readers a solid election results issue. We hope you enjoy.

Bloggers covering the election this year: Kicked BUTT!!
There was a lot of scrutiny on this year's Elk Grove City Council election, well, aside from the Buzz.
One local blogger went wild with his election coverage and did some great work. That's DAG over at EGNNet.
I've never done that Waldo thing, but I'll let blog readers imitate him. You can find DAG's EGN blog somewhere to your left and down....keep going....there....
Anyway, Kudos to Dan....and as an FYI, that "three-peat" phrase actually belongs to Pat Riley.....duhhhhhhhh

E.M. Phoned Home....
Elliot Mulberg, a long-time Elk Grove Community Services District board member (before it became the Cosumnes CSD), has come home.
Mulberg was the top vote getter in this year's Florin Resource Conservation District board of directors election, grabbing a stunning 26,434 votes to secure a seat on the board. Mulberg left the CCSD and worked for several years with the Monterey area LAFCO. He has extensive water experience and is also an air-quality expert.
Second place finisher - also winning a seat - was Chuck Dawson, who nabbed 16,042 votes....well ahead of third place finished David Benson. Davies Ononiwu lost another election, finishing fourth. Ononiwu finished last when he ran for Elk Grove City Council in 2006, contesting Rick Soares, Pat Hume, and Elease Walton for the District 2 seat.
Bob Gray, a prolific bicyclist who promised to deal with rate increases, finished fifth with more than 11 percent of the vote.

But, that is election night in the newspaper world. We all understand what we're getting into when we enter this business, and one thing is late nights fueled by a lot of coffee.
My girlfriend just woke up...she has a big planning commission meeting today to go over Yolo County's new general plan.
Well, back to work......

Sophia is back with big win over Maestas
Imcumbent Sophia Scherman, shown in this series of photos, coasted to her biggest victory ever, as she received more than 17 percent of the votes than second-place challenger Katherine Maestas.
In 2004, Scherman beat out Carol McElheny by slightly more than 6 percent of the vote. There were four other candidates in that race, including Buddy Friend, Phillip Stark, Gyan Kalwani, and Debra Kristof.
This year, Scherman battled Maestas as well as Robert Felts and Khanh "K.T." Tran for her District 5 seat.
All four candidates put a lot of effort into their campaigns and gave voters many opportunities to learn about their platforms and ideas. Some even got to hear Maestas sing Janis....

Someone call Pat Riley.....it's Cooper in a three-peat
Jim Cooper, pictured above, didn't put too much effort into this year's bid for re-election, that's probably because every other time he's run for office he has smashed his opponents and run away with monumental victories.
It was no different in 2008, as Cooper parlayed his personality, police-career presence, and direct approach on the council into a successful bid for his third term in office.
Challenger LaWanna Montgomery was trying to take down Cooper for the second time; she lost in 2004 when Cooper nabbed more than 17,000 votes than Montgomery did. This time around, it was closer....because there were only two candidates in the race.
In 2008, Cooper received 20,432 votes. Montgomery received 14,689 votes.

Cosumnes CSD shocker - Rutter top-vote getter
Guy Rutter, the former Galt fire official who was endorsed by out-going Cosumnes CSD director Gerald Derr, easily won a seat on the district's board of directors, raking in a massive 14,232 votes in the election, outpacing popular local businessman and incumbent, Gil Albiani, by 160 votes.
Newcomer Michelle Orrock grabbed the third open Cosumnes CSD board seat, edging community stalwart Sandi Russell by 572 votes.
Long-time incumbent Doug McElroy, seeking his fifth term on the CCSD board, finished fifth ahead of Jimmie Johnson and Rod Brewer. McElroy and Brewer - along with Orrock - had been endorsed by the local firefighters union, but that didn't seem to help them Tuesday. McElroy had almost 13 percent of the vote while Brewer nabbed just more than 7 percent of the vote.
The new Cosumnes CSD board of directors will include Keith Grueneberg, Elaine Wright, Michelle Orrock, Gil Albiani, and Guy Rutter.
