Legacy Of Fear

At some point the city will hold meetings in Pocket and tell residents what’s going on with the Sacramento River Parkway and levee bike trail. I’ve heard city authorities talk about these meetings, but only in a tentative way. Nobody knows when they will happen.

But I have a good idea how they will unfold. Something like this:

City Council member Rick Jennings will acknowledge the promise made in 1975 to build the levee parkway. He will offer excuses for the half-century delay and explain the need to respect concerns of people who bought homes along the levee.

‘Where Do I Sign?’

More than 300 strong, they knock on doors and talk about the trouble with Katie Valenzuela.

They describe Valenzuela’s support of squatters in a vacant Land Park home. They dissect her refusal to help clear homeless camps near Sutter Middle School.

They want Valenzuela gone from the City Council.
