At first Sacramento City Hall afforded a permit for the recall rally Tuesday afternoon at 2PM, then mysteriously ‘pulled the permit’ after a reported city attorney researched a 2005 city resolution that allegedly does not permit ‘events’ until after 5PM on weekdays.

After shredding the permit, Sacramento City Hall eventually released six pages of a resolution entitled “Event Planning Resolution.”

After reading the provided paperwork from the Sacramento’s City Council, the referenced ‘events rules’ are best described as weddings, private parties, educational tours or any other pre-scheduled ‘event’ that offers the use of the actual facilities for a gathering.

It is safe to say that an “event” is not the same as a citizen’s rally.

Thus (using legal speak) the resolution says nothing about consequential speech rallies (1st Amendment) that attempt to hold our city council accountable. And it seems there have been numerous – as in too many to count – rallies permitted (without a permit) before 5PM at the new City Hall Plaza.

Oops.

Sacramento City Council's sanctions of Arizona over SB1070 has caused a huge push-back ... recalls are underway tonight ... 

Sacramento City Hall played host to 173 citizens (actual count) last Thursday afternoon.

The efforts of Recall Sacramento launched its effort to remove city council members who are more concerned about Arizona’s immigration law than they are over their own $43 million debt.

With the help of outrage, a single recall website, one local talk show and a grassroots congressional candidate who is determined to represent his district, and the citizens who go under represented within the proper City of Sacramento, the successful recall rally was orchestrated in just five days.

When the media harps on “Meg’s Millions” and “Carly’s Cash” ad nauseum they are trying to hide the real story line of the Republican Primary.

It’s a cover-up folks.

And the lead story is not (just) that two women are heading up the top of the ticket for the GOP in California – which is history.

The real story line remains buried.

What happened on Tuesday night is historic, especially for the Republican Party and the voters of California.

But do yourself a favor and look past the publum and see the real fear of the California Democrat Party.

The Republican ballot for November is greatly diversified – probably the most diversified ballot in the history of the state and definitely for the Grand Ole Party.

HOGUE'S JUNE PRIMARY BALLOT

Prop 13 – Yes

Is anyone against this proposition?

Prop 14 – No

I like the American League and the National League separate, I have grown to hate inter-league play. Why would I enjoy watching a San Francisco versus Oakland A’s World Series when they have already played ten times that season? Give me the purity of baseball and the power of the two party system.

Prop 15 – No

Money is speech; tell the unions and the majority party to stop their whining.

Prop 16 – Yes

Full disclosure, I have Roseville Electric. But my interviews with the PG&E folks have convinced me that votes from utility dependent citizens are much better than decisions by government when it comes to rates, fees and competition. If we grow unsatisfied, voters – we’ll have to gain the super-majority to welcome in competition. (I am concerned that PG&E has contributed $38 million for “votes and competition”)

 Prop 17 – Yes

I don’t plan on dropping my auto insurance anytime soon, and if I do – or bad happens and I fall prey to economical factors that lead to the loss of such – I would expect to pay a penalty. I’ll take my discount to go please. (Again, Mercury has contributed over $14 million for “competition.”)
