What is his next political move and how did appointing Scherman play into his plan?<br /><br />Davis is alway thinking about the next seat. Case in point: Shortly after being elected to the city council, he was then running for Congress. <br /><br />Maybe Davis is courting the Republican Party and is going to jump ship and run against Cooper for the Assembly.

I really hope the peoole of Elk Grove who voted for him realize what a monster they have created. <br /> He's pushing for a Major League Soccer club and stadium. The developers have him in their hip pocket pushing the SOI and he promised last Juen to have the Howard Hughes Corp. at a city council meeting to give us an update on the mall. We all know where theat is. right!!! His political ambitions far outstrip his ability to do anyting good for Elk Grove. Next time you vote.

How di...If I were Frank Maita, I would resign now. How disrespectful for Davis to attempt to remove a seating member without giving any cause or reason. Was Davis trying to feel his oats? Maita isn't HIS appointee; Maita was appointed by Scherman. Over the years, we all know that the only thing that Scherman can plan is her wardrobe. To allow her access to the Planning Commission would be downright sinful. Nice lady; but really, she has no business being on the PC. Strangely enough, Davis and Scherman are not friends. Davis has bemoaned Scherman over and over again. This move really has my head spinning. Davis might have already lost all his marbles and it only took three meetings.
