This week, Sky walks us thru new City shenanigans in which the Council is preparing to quietly wipe its ass with a recent Grand Jury report criticizing the City for watering down the Sacramento Community Police Review Commission to the point where it’s “window dressing”. Also up this week, Sheriff Cooper continues to blur the lines between local and federal surveillance and enforcement.

This week, Sky sits down with Robert J Hansen of the Sacramento Observer, to discuss his reporting on the County budget, which is going into being finalized through a series of hearings starting tomorrow. Rob runs us through the saga of the County making cuts across every department, except for the Sheriff and the District Attorney because, if you believe what they say, the County will fall into a lawless ruin if they are forced to cut 2% of their (in the Sheriff’s case) nearly $700M budget. Read these two Observer pieces Rob wrote to get oriented:

Gabriel is back this week breaking down what we have going on in Sacramento local government. We flagged items from both the Sac Board of Supervisors meeting, and City Council happening tomorrow, August 25, at 9:30am and 2pm respectively. Housing and homelessness is on the Agenda for both the County on the City, so you know things will get tense. Will Mayor McCarty shut down the meeting? Will Phil Pluckebaum even show up? Will Phil Serna and Rosario Rodriguez go at each other again? We got to tune in to find out!

Sky goes it alone in a rundown of last week’s slap fight at Sac County, plus and goes over flags for meetings next week including Law & Legislation, 2pm and 5pm Council meetings at the City, as well as an item involving surveillance coming up at the 6pm County Community Sheriff Oversight Commission meeting, all Tuesday evenings this week.
